GordVisr Cars

[Gordvisr]

Going through the pages i decided its time to start my own thread.

My journey Begun almost two years ago when i purchased my 1995 E36 328i.
Time flies it just felt like yesterday.

I am the Third owner of the car, some time in its life it did not do much traveling.
It had done 161XXX Km before i met her. She has a full service history mostly by BMW.

With exception of the wheels everything was stock on the car when i bought her, Original tape deck with Grundig Shuttle. But soon changed after the shuttle decided not to operate anymore, i replaced it with a Pioneer Front unit.

In the past two years she has giving me just sheer driving pleasure.

Below with some pics.

The very first day

I will Add some more Later.

[Gordvisr]

Some of the Slips when it went to Dealer

The standard key, soon to be replaced as i have to take it in for spinning barrel replacement.

---

The first set of wheels it came with. They were 195/65/16. They broke traction like mad and had to go.

---

Then i got these but they were on for less than 24 hrs. The offset they gave me was for yhe 5 series and rubbed like hell. Unfortunately they could not get for the 3 series soon enough so
i opted for something else, The Claw.

A bummer, not all the images load but the car looks good. How's the E36 328i compared to the 325i? Is it like the E46 325 and 330?

 

[Gordvisr]

I dont know. Never driven the 325i but i guess not much of a diffrence performance wise.

 

[Gordvisr]

So after a waiting period of about a bit more than two years i finally managed one of my milestones, man i feel like the luckiest man alive.

here she is

It has been a joy full past two months.

Before and after i have purchased her, i have heard many times it is a slow car, rather go for 135i,it is too small, too heavy on fuel etc..

Well i still decided to follow my heart and i can tell you not one day i am disapointed in my decision . Yes it is not a 135i but still not a slow car.
Fuel consumption on mixed driving about 8.2km/l.

Had some fun with other cars and also surprisingly could give out a hiding.( Audi 2.0t, Polo Gti, Golf V Gti )
This car has put a smile on my face everytime i open the garrage door and everytime she gets started up.
Driving through corners, on the open road no matter where , it is just soooo fun to drive, have not taken her on a long trip yet but might happen soon.

Space is not a problem, the size from outside is also a bit descieving.
Space at the rear also not bad. Boot capacity really not bad either.

Only three mods that i would like to do in the near future is to bring the full power output from the engine.
The sound upgrade that i have seen Gavsadler did on his 130i and then the M2 wheel upgrade.

Thanks for reading

Congratulations!!! Always an awesome feeling when you get into a car you've always wanted. Its a beauty, I think most will know its because I love the murdered look... :roflol:

I also noticed it has an M Performance front bumper! Very rare and good looking compared to standard.

Well done man, many happy miles of smiles!
