Hi Fanatics

I thought I'd share some of the work I'm doing on my e36, I absolutely love these cars...
She started life out as a stock 1997 323i Manual, Luxury package(side skirts, rear headrest and rear sunshade) with sunroof :rollsmile:

Current mileage 265k km purchased on 222k km in 2013.

Sorry for the bad quality pics its all I could find from the old gumtree ad when I first got the car.

Thanks for looking, more to follow shortly

---

1st Cosmetic mod I did was clear front indicators

Followed by the side markers, this is a facelift E36 so its the same indicator as the E53 X5

Next was the side beading purchased from Gizmo, I needed to strip the paint of as it came off a race car

///M Beading and clear rear indicators fitted, towbar removed

:clapper: coming together nicely. Consider giving the windows a light tint. Works well with the arctic silver.

Did you change the vanos solenoid as discussed in December ? If so has it made any difference ?

Oh and what coilovers are those looks very purdy....

Thanks Doomsdaya
The solenoid is all good it was a vacuum leak from the throttle body boot to the ICV.
FK Coilovers, they soft and don't bounce at all, I'm very happy with them.
