Does somebody know about e36 maintenance cost in Germany? I wanna get a 323, 325 or 328 to learn car control with rwd and do some basic maintenance myself, but I am only 20 and uni is time consuming. Dunno if it is really that expensive as some ppl say or actually cheap af since parts are plenty...

Burger here. Don't fall for the memes

I own a 92 325i. Cooling system is dogshit so that needs replacing asap if you get one. Also mine blew the headgasket (if your car keeps overheating even if you replaced entire cooling system, this is why) it's a dirt cheap car that runs amazing when maintained and parts aren't all that much. Mine had 300k when I bought it and had a blown muffler (it's loud as hell).

I got it because I wanted something to enjoy and work on. Buy some grippy tires and you got yourself a wild ride. Stay away from 4 bangers unless you want 0-60 in double digits and no Hektik skidz

>>16833880
They stopped long before this actually. /o/ is just all memes and shit so everyone has moved off to other forums.

My 1994 530i touring. Today I worked out a potential deal to trade my E30 carcass for an M62B44 and 6 speed from an E39 540i.
The car is rusty as fuck, but it was actually free, so fuck it. I haven't gotten to drive it but I like it so far. Seems really comfy and kinda sporty at the same time, or at least as sporty as a wagon can be. I think the 300hp V8 and manual would do it good.
I want to learn some rust repair because it's mostly on the roof and non-structural parts like rear quarters, doors and a little on the roof. It probably won't be worth it, but I don't care, I have nothing better to spend my time on.

>>16841775
Have one in similar colour myself, also a 530 with the vee ayte. Something is fucked up in the car, possibly electronics as it doesn't like revving properly, just stutters and backfires like it was running on 4 cylinders.
Works fine past 2k rpm though, am suspecting the fuel pump, coil pack grounds and the DME being fucked. Possibly all 3.

Bought a new drift missile for the next 2 summers, already converted it to M52b28tu, but still have stuff to fix on it. Converting the ECU to MS43 to get a proper map and hopefully fix the stock laggy throttle response. Put a much shorter diff from a 318 automatic into it, makes it feel much more japanese.

>>16844565
Yeah considering it had a 1.8 in it originally. It only takes me a weekend to do it anyway as I already had the electricals sorted and the rest of the parts you need are just OEM stuff from the scrappys. Original 325s cost too much here to justify beating them up.

It isn't that rusty, only surface rust on areas like arches that I'll be cutting up anyway because I run 0 camber and you can't really fit any bigger wheels with that. It just has shitloads of dings, scratches, fucked paint, shitty interior repairs which don't really matter when you're going sideways.

I'd go for a M50b25 because it has an iron block if I planned to turbo it, but parts for them are becoming really rare and expensive so it's simpler to just use E46 and E39 engines as they're basically a bolt-on swap and are becoming really really cheap here.

why do you guys with E36 coupes not get the M3? they arent that much more expensive and the driving experience is that much more worth it.

Really want to get an 07/08 335i, heard they're great cars and not to hard to modify

>>16844762
At least here they are around 6 times more expensive than 328s. And you can convert a normal E36 into a fake M3 and it will still end up cheaper. It's actually cheaper to swap a BMW v8 into one than it is to buy an M3 here.

>>16844775
is it a true conversion though? doesnt the M3 have some sub-frame shit done to it and other things here and there that would take some not worth it tier of modification?

>>16844784
Nope, you can pretty much convert E36s to M3s. You can't do that with E30s or E46s though

Oh, I forgot, you need to weld in strengtening plates to the rear subframe, but those aren't a big job and are an OEM part which you can get from a dealer. That's pretty much it.

??????????????????????????????

or wrong frosty?

I want one of these, currently thinking of selling my boxster for one or an M6.

I don't care about the lack of torque, or how disgustingly slow the smg3 is (testdrove a friends m6, only S5/6 mode was decent), or how the launch control literally destroys the clutch.

that noise makes it worth it.

Get a load of this shit

I recently bought a BMW and the previous owner had some xenon lights installed. Today I went by the stealership to get a 49 point inspection done and it came back all fine and dandy. However, because the xenon lights are aftermarket the car doesn't recognize them until they warm up so every time the car starts up it gives an indicator malfunction warning that goes away when the lights are turned on.

Now here's the goodies, they wanted to charge me $4192 to remove the malfunction warnings when the car starts up. You know what I said as soon as I heard that? "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" met with a look of unease.

How can anybody justify this? Do people actually go to dealerships once the warranty expires?

>>16846145

the couple times i've gone to the dealership i was told to fuck off because my Z3 was too old and they no longer had the diagnostic tools for it. they refused to touch the car :p

Not a whole lot. LTW splitter in the front, Eisenmann Race catback with 83mm tips, Active Autowerke track pipe with O2 simulators (which the shop somehow seemed to have broken), ST XTA coilovers, and a Condor tall weighted shift knob. I guess the glass headlamps as well.

I'm thinking of getting a FANCYWIDE diffuser still and a Conforti Shark Injector tune. If MS41 can remove speed governor and modify rev limiter, I might look into that instead. Also want to eventually get a LTW wing, probably from Abrahams Motorsport, to balance out the look of the splitter in the rear.
