Santorini Blue 328i Sport
Discussion
Hi all,
New to the forum and BMW ownership with my '99 E36 328i Sport in santorini blue. I bought it about 2-3 months ago and have enjoyed every second of it. It came with a lot of major work and because of this it runs perfectly. Work includes:
New gearbox/clutch/flywheel
New driveshafts
Complete cooling system refurb (hoses/thermostat/coolant/radiator/cooling fan)
Various bushes and coilovers - far too low on the rear, will be raised soon.
M3 cat back
In my ownership I have changed the oil/plugs/air filter and have a DAB radio ready to do in due to the shocking radio reception. Other plans are a wheel refurb, M3 3.0 LSD and a front end respray.
I have seen that this colour is quite rare, would be interesting to see if there are any others on here or even if mine has been on here previously.
Onto the pictures:

Comments welcome - after some ideas from this site as I am new to the BMW scene - but will definitely staying! Would love an E39 M5 next...

Thanks, chaps.
Only have one interior shot, black leather with blue piping - will get some more soon:

Yes it has spacers - the MM escapes me I'll have to measure them. Really makes the car look good, even more reason to raise the rear though as I've had some scrubbing when hitting bumps at faster speeds. Nothing dangerous, but still annoying. Yep, e36coupe and bimmerforums, I need all the help I can get!
I'll keep things updated. Would also like to bin the angel eyes but whoever put them in chopped a whole load of wires up so I think it'll be a headache...
