It's a BM, your initials are GC and the plate is BM 11 GC? What a great coincidence. If the 11 somehow has significance, it's amazing...

Great car, coupe E36's are one of my favourite shapes. Enjoy it :thumbs:

Haha. Yea that dawned on me too when I was looking at the car. Well my birthday is in January and its my first coupe. Thats the 2 1's sorted.

Very nice. :thumbs:
Congratulations.
I see this is the one with the long nose like the M3. Some had the short nose like the sedan, but i could not find a pattern to say conclusively which ones were fitted to which

Wow, very rare indeed.

I like alot, has the clears and M-Tech bumpers as well. Sunroof is perfectly suited to this car. Engine bay looks neat. Looks like PDC sensors at the rear?

Maybe the bootfin is a bit OTT. Some hubcentric rear spacers, maybe 15mm would be a good cost effective mod, if you want to keep the wheels & the oem look going, and will give a slight handling improvement.

Nothing wrong with Auto if you sit in JHB traffic.

The silver 325ci is just :inlove:

2 special vehicles there, good stuff, :thumbs:

Well this is a sport model as well so handling is great. Going to get new bilsteins fitted soon as the current bilsteins are getting tired.

Was thinking of removing the spoiler but sometimes I like it and sometimes I would prefer the clean look.

And yes. It has factory rear pdc. All of the sensors still work.

normally i dont like those spoilers but i feel it works well on this car i would keep it on :)

why not go with koni sport seeing as you probably going to track the car adjustablity will give you more freedom to fine tune the handling... bilsteins are very good shocks but expensive for what you get...

Prefer to stay with bilstein as that's what it is from the factory afaik. Won't be tracking her. This is going to be a daily driver and am going to restore it as much as possible.

It is sad. But it would be a shame to torture such a rarity on the track. Maybe I will do a track day or 2 but they will be few and far between.

For interest sake will you PM me quotes on the koni's you have.
