BMW E36 328i Sport *new exhaust*
Decided I wanted a 328 sport a while ago but had to wait for my Clio to sell first. So with my clio away 2 weeks ago I set about looking for the bm. I couldn't find one in Scotland so travelled down to see one in central England, it turned out to have the nikasill block so I decided not to buy it.
My mate who also has a 328 sent me a link for one and sent an email to the seller on my behalf. He replied answering all the questions and it had the nikasil block replaced So I booked my train tickets and went and collected it from Blackpool yesterday.
Spec:
Artic silver
328i sport
94k
Bbs wheels all round incl spare
All the extras spec'd
All the mots
Only problems I can see are wear on the drivers seat, the bonnet has been resprayed and "one touch" on electric windows don't work but that's it!
It drives great and it looks like it came out the factory yesterday, think I'm going to keep it standard as it got all the things to make it a classic like BMW torch in glovebox, first aid kit still sealed, full tool kit, safety triangle etc only thing non standard is the cd player.
I'll get more pics in the next few days.

Very tidy buy mate! I hate those wheels though, some RC041 / 042's are needed
I'd like to replace the standard torche / first aid kit too, just not got round to it yet.
oh and the windows just need regreasing in the moving parts, mine were the same, it's a common problem.

Wheels look pap, you need some oem sport bbs splits.

to add on to gibbo's post. theres a lad on e36coupe selling a K&N gen2 for £45. not as good as the daveF, but you'll save yourself near £100.
alternatively standard airbox with some debaffling and a decent filter has proven good!

Yeah been told about grease to fix the window problem.
I like the wheels and don't have enough money for others so they'll be staying I think.

Haven't been shitting money recently so doubt I'll have much off that list. Tbh I dont see the point in the Dave f induction kit considering its price, was toying with the idea of making a rep.

Good to see lots of people with knowledge of them on here and gibbo too

I'm guessing your already on e36coupe?
Another one I missed an possibly the best bang for buck would be a 3.15 LSD off a 3.0 m3 or even a 3.15 open diff off a 325, makes the car a lot more lively..

Nah not on it yet but my mate has put a post up asking for a diff for me already. Saw your progress on it by chance today when my mate was showing me the site.

Clio was a bit tight but looks like the m52 is a good design, oil filter right at front up top and just need to undo coils for spark plugs

The whole cars simple to work on IMO.
obviously harder than a french tin because it's put together well so you can't just pull things off lol, but in general, everything just seems to be in a more accessable place, and the design just seems a lot better thought out

It's on here, but I continued the vtr project thread with the bm instead of making another one. But I do need to update it a little. And I'm also on shed too.
