Toast 117 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 I've been looking for an E34 for quite some time & after a sale fell through I decided to keep my money & cert my current car (well that was the plan). Cue Montreal Blue E36. It was advertised as a "Kelleners" tuned car & my interest was piqued. The ad mentioned the car having the K1 Sport Kit, consisting of cams, ECU tuning & suspension. Needless to say I was pretty dubious, but a short test drive left me wondering. Fast forward 3 weeks & the car is now in my possession. The first thing to address was the question of it it really was what it was advertised as. So on Saturday morning I ripped off the valve cover and grabbed my digital calipers. Found it to have Schrick cams and the ECU to bear the Kelleners name. Pics can be found here So overall pretty stoked, and kinda annoyed that there's little to no information out there on Kelleners cars. I've a lead that says that the heads were ported and polished too, in time I'll have to investigate. The plan at this point is to manual convert it, transfer the LSD from my other E36 over, fix the interior headliner, fix the drivers seat recliner, look into rebuilding the shocks & replacing the exhaust and headers with M3 parts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 117 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 Nope, perfectly rational. They're things of beauty, though it's a pity that's all google spits at you when you're using keywords such as E36 Kelleners... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 I do like them as well. There are quite a few sets floating around in New Zealand i have seen pop up over the years. Wouldnt be surprised if this car was origianlly on them before getting its M3 wheels its on now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 P.S. the KS 1 kit (170kW) was 2,300 Euros - about $4k installed the other was 13,000 Euro in 1995 or inflation adjusted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 117 Report post Posted September 4, 2015 @Ron, yeah the racks are a nice touch, really easy to put on and off too. Like you say though they really howl on the motorway, driving it with the sunroof down isn't pleasant. Can you send me a link to the engine Info you've found? Cheers Didn't realize there were wheels in nz, ill keep my ear to the ground, super keen to get a 17" set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
