My project E36!

Abix · 29th April 2008, 10:46

Hello all! Well, after some tedious search, ive finally managed to lay my hands on a 94 E36. Its a 316 with an automatic transmission and comes stock with 100 bhp. The reason i chose this car was because as advised by Arush (Autopsyche), the car has tremendous modification possibility, both performance and looks wise! I also bought the car because i needed something, which after some serious mods could provide more power than my Evilution!

I know its a lot of work, paintjob and body work wise, but im sure you all can see the diamond in the rough! Cheers!

nice choice,
what's the mileage on this beauty, how long were you looking for it and what did it cost >?

VJ_MAVRICK · 29th April 2008, 10:56

I think with mods suggested and done by autopsyche ,your presence will be felt and will not go unnoticed. So beamer boy all set for the stage1 mod on this ride ?
Drive safe and keep us posted.

first few things i would suggest other than a paint job ... clear lenses , a good set of alloys and a nice CAI and exhaust( a remus or DINAN- if you can get your hands on one...) remove the rear badging and a nice m3(e46) spoiler
Just noticed this car is rebadged as a 325

does the car have the in car computer in the center console, can you post some pics of the interior

Congrats on your new ride abix.

this is one thread that im gonna stay glued to..

Abix · 29th April 2008, 11:18

Here you go guys, some interior pics! Personally hate the wood trim on it, so that will definitely go, n not too much a fan of the red on the seats!

whatcanthisbe · 29th April 2008, 12:03

yeah the wood trim does look very very ugly, more over the dude who owned it got rid of the stock stereo ... hmmm but the leather looks in decent shape...

svsantosh · 29th April 2008, 12:29

how much did you pay for this piece Abix? How many Kms on the odo? And is the engine and susp in good condition?

Akshay1234 · 29th April 2008, 12:32

wow. nice car. my suggestion - get a nice paitnjob and rims first. then get angel eyes with projectors. and if you want any ps you know who to tell.

iraghava · 29th April 2008, 12:50

Abix - You going to go in with an engine transplant on this one?

DocG · 29th April 2008, 13:00

Abix...Bad move going in for the 316 if you want an engine swap...Anyway if it's a turbo stock internals take upto 8-10 psi at min

The engine though is still DOHC, efficient and pretty decent for the car. You're right about the potential this car has...what did it cost?

flipsyde · 29th April 2008, 13:15

nice car abix! but i wish you got yourself a e46 3 series. mayb even a 325i. but each one to his own. hope you and arush have fun "pimping her"!!!

mind telling us how much you shelled out for this beaut??? and of course your plans for it.

P.S : completely off-topic - love your front gate.

autopsyche · 29th April 2008, 13:15

DocG, engine swap on the way

And no revealing of the works, till the time we start with it!
