My Alpine White E36 328i... and a couple of the Noble.

[Chapppers]

Hello all,

I have replaced my dying Puma runaround with something a bit fancier, an E36 328i. 97,000 miles, 1998 non-sport with a few little upgrades by the previous owner. After fiddling with the suspension for a couple of days, I thought I'd bring them both out into the reasonably dry weather for a wash.

Currently on winter 15s, but I have a set of staggered 17" M3 Motorsport wheels being refurbished ready for next summer.

Current plans are to fit a standard ratio LSD, get the tracking sorted and some general tidying. Several 'ring trip weekends already planned, but I have to remember the Noble is the fun one!

Nice. What is going on with the plate on the Noble?

1958 Essex plate OO3006 with a middle space for neatness. Apologies in advance to the plate nazis.

I love the Noble. The E36 has more than a few upgrades by the look of it

Need to clean your gutters.

Nice cars though.

[Disco You]

Those front seats look awesome.

[wilbo83]

Nice choice to have. Maybe the plate should now go on the beemer, with it being an E36

That garage has realy wound me up, please trim that dirty great weed

[Chapppers]

Yeah I'll trim it tomorrow but to be fair it's my parent's house. I have my own flat but I'm at "home" recovering from a <minor> heart op at the moment.

Years ago (must have been more than 30), I saw an Aston with OO 6007, spaced like yours.

I always remember that "OO" is Essex (Dagenham originally?) because some of the works Escorts were on "OO" plates.

Mum says 'it's not a weed, it's a Virginia Creeper"

[Chapppers]

So, it came with a set of staggered M3 motorsport wheels, which I've had refurbished to OEM spec. The yellow is just protective tape to allow them to be stacked safely.

I think your tyres are mounted the wrong way around, nice motors though

sorry but this thread does absolutely nothing for me

[Chapppers]

Glad you took the time to read it and comment though. Thanks.

No more pictures, I can say she was surprisingly perky at the weekend and showing a lot more personality. I'm done with that thread though.

No, they're not. Made me go out and check though because I swapped them in the dark at 10pm when I got the car!
