BMW E36 328i

[norman156]

With my merc still being a pain thought it was about time I got something with more than 4 cylinders. It's a bit rough around the edges and the interior needs a bloody good clean, but rather chuffed for £850

[sniff diesel]

Looks nice, tempted with a 325i manifold and throttle body to get it up to 220bhp?

[norman156]

The paintwork looks alot nice in the photos, actually needs a fair bit of work with something like megs scratch X. Think I'm quite happy with 192 bhp at the moment, quickest car I've had thus far so any more is just asking for an accident...

Looks good, great cars the 6 cylinder E36's still miss mine

Angel eyes were on the car when I bought it. A little unsure about them so might just replace them with standard jobbies. Also I think the front indicators have been replaced with clear ones, got a feeling the standards are orange? These work a bit better than the angels though I think

I've got some headlights and orange indicators you can have for a fiver each, PM me if interested.

looks a lot lower at the back, i hear the springs break on these or something, might be worth having a look.

otherwise: bargain!

They do snap but that looks about right height for 17" rims.

Just read on your blog about the Merc 190 problems, have you asked for advice on http://s14.zetaboards.com/mercedes_190_club/index/...

It's probably your best bet if you want to get it running again.

Already a member, I'm 'Norman87' on there. I'm currently in contact with a couple of other members about obtaining a new metering head. See here: http://s14.zetaboards.com/mercedes_190_club/topic/... Hopefully it'll work eventually... How are you getting on with your 190?

Are you not confusing that with the 323/325 170/192bhp models. To get it up to 220bhp you would need a Dave F induction kit(or similar) and a ECU tweek.
The model in the photo appears to be a 320.

ETA
Just checked the reg and it is a 328, how strange.

Whether its a 318 or a 328 pretty much all E36 saloons look the same surely?

That badge on the back looks like a 320 to me. Although I may be wrong it could well be an 8.(the reg says it is)

I like it except for the automatic.

Ironically I am tempted to replace it with an E36 328i

Replacing it with another 4 door 328 but with manual?
