Well wear on the E36 Geeman, 328 sports are particularly fine.
One anorak point though - someone says earlier that a 1995 328 will have an M50 engine. Not true.
320s and 325s are M50, 323s and 328s are M52 (hence ally block and nikasil liners)
Your car will be Nikasil lined... so Join the club! (Although mine's only a 2.5 it's still a stonker of an engine!)

So... here it is at last. Not a bad bus... kinda liking it.
Anyone who wants to swap the tinted crystal rear lights for some red / clear M3 units, then you're more than welcome to them!





Hap... Mini-meet away dude. Would love to come over and see your new beast!

Nice car man. You should feel good about that swap.
I would defintley change the rear lights to OEM's and are those headlights orriginal?
Those wheels are one of the best on an E36 I think.
No brainer on that deal.

Royal... front Angels are not OEM units... £400 Hella ones!
Will do a deal on the front and rears if anyone's got genuine clear units for trade...

What do your clients think?.

And you never said... tut tut. I guess now that I own an E36, you don't want to be associated with me! 
Not just me that's got tinted rears! Pot... kettle... black!

Geeman,
The lights are offensive, as you know! hehe! Just kidding. That looks like a really nice tidy car. I have an '95 E36, albeit a 316i SE! It's a very nice one owner FSH car, and it's very nice, just a bit slow.
I happen to have found out that BMW do a 'clear lighting kit' which consists of; Rear lamps, side repeaters and front indicator lenses, which will help with all bar the headlights. It works out way cheaper than buying them individually. I did it on mine, and it makes it look smarter/more modern. It will retail at about £135 + vat. If you can get discount, all the better. Just tell them it's a couple, what year it is, and if it has check control which I guess it will.
Enjoy!

Kev... that is an M3 front bumper (save for the horizontal slats in the lower air intake)... but is yours in Hell Red already?
Had loads planned to do to it this weekend, but was laid up with a second bout of sickness and toilet troubles in 3 weeks. Next weekend it is then...
Already got the E36 M3 bug now.
