My E36 Coupe

[bhups]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Bhups i've been a member on here for a while but never really posted, i used to own a mint 320i E30 until it got written off a few years ago to which i caught the bmw bug.

I currently own an E36 328i sport which i've modded with the help of Dips. Im on the lookout for another E30 325i in black for the next project. I need another E30 in my life! Lol!

Anyway heres my e36:

Here's how i bought it. The bonnet, front bumper, both front wings had lacquer flaking off. The rear arches and boot had rust. The style 5's were corroded to the fullest.









First things first was to give the mechanicals a thorough once over so the following was done:

Inspection II
Upgraded EBC Brake Pads
Braided Brake Hoses
ATE Brake Fluid
Fully Synthetic Oil 5/40
Thermostat with Housing
Propshaft Coupling
Rogue Rear Shock Mounts
New Backbox Hangers
Handbrake Cable Adjusted
Accelerator Pedal Stiffness Fixed (lol)
All Bulbs Changed in Speedo Binnacle

Next up is body work:



















The car in primer:











The car done:

















Next up were the rims and they were proper f*cked so off they went to Dips...lol!







Here was one finished with a one off custom colour for the centres with a high metallic, chromed bolts and polished centres:



And just to show you the level of sparkle in the sun.



And how the car is currently:





A couple of rolling shots:

Looking great .
The e36 is a car when done right and yours looks spot on.

Love the look of that, E36's look so much better with no boot spoiler

[bhups]

Lol @ Dips

Thanks guys!

Nice

I must admit, I do prefer the chrome kidney grills. Otherwise, perfect OEM+ modding.

very nice check my cab! wish i had your style 5s aswell!

[leeparkes]

Style 5's really do suit the E36

Good looking car

Got to agree. My Evo's away getting un-SMG'd but having trouble sourcing a gearbox. There's rust in the boot and I'm seriously thinking about doing this when I get it back.

Anyone got a 6 speed manual box?
