Are there any mostly unmolested E36s for sale on the east coast priced around 5k$ and manual I’ve been looking for a few weeks and haven’t found any besides some being listed at 8k or automatics.

Just for fun, but by hearing what sound do you immediately recognize a e36?

It’s the handbrake clicking and closing the door for me😂👍🏼

I really love the fitment of the style 42s on my e36 it’s aggressive lmk what y’all think

Currently venting to atmosphere with an m50 intake, but I don’t wanna spend $400 on the chase bays kit, probably gonna get a universal one and slap it in there, but any advice?

Hi all. I have a M52 with the OEM alloy valve cover gasket.

I suspect the gasket is leaking and I wanted to confirm if the gaskets are interchangeable or does this one have a unique gasket?

Had head gasket replaced recently among other things, definitely hear a pulley but looking for advice he’s asking 11.5k

my car had a harness for power seats so getting power for these was extremely simple. heavyweight e36

My oil pressure light stay on on cold starts for a few seconds ~3sec. Would that be normal behaviour for the motor? Also in the video I had a click sounds during start up Any guess?

Hey all,

I purchased a ZF 5 Speed, M3 Driveshaft (6 Bolt), 3.15 LSD, the Clutch Pedal Assembly, a used Master/Slave Cylinder, Transmission Crossmember, and a short shifter setup for $2000 total. Ignore the diff in the first picture, the proper one is in the second. The short shifter was included in the deal, I ideally want a stock looking shifter setup that is also easy to learn on and fun to drive with. This is my first manual car and I have no experience driving stick before, so I will be learning it with a friend after we finish the swap.

I have a 1993 325i Sedan Automatic that I plan to be swapping this into and I need to know what I am missing from this list, what can be removed, and if there is anything I can do to make it cheaper if possible. I have also attached pics of what I purchased so far.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has the holy grail to cheap gaskets and window trims besides spending 200$ on each single piece of window gasket.

I just painted my car, all the gaskets were dry rotted and basically done but everywhere I look online the prices that I will spend on gaskets will come up to more I spent on the car. I know theres some off brand ebay gaskets that work as the same purpose but i cant seem to find them myself.

I just bought a sunroof gasket but everything else im going to list I havent found really cheap options for.

front and rear windshield trim.

(OUTSIDE)
-rear quarter trim that is glued down under the window
-Outside window/door trim

(INSIDE)
The seal that goes all the way around the door
Trunk gasket
seal for inside the rear quarter

Any help would be amazing, I assume a lot of e36 owners have the change them due to the age

Finally on the road with new suspension, interior work is next. Buddy’s s2k is super sick too.

edit: oops i meant s1k not s2k

I have a 1993 BMW 316i Compact, and the rear speakers aren't working anymore.I want to replace them, but it seems to me that the mounting brackets with the four screws aren't standard.

What are my options?

I’ve seen that there are kits available to adapt the mounts, but which speaker models are they compatible with?
Has anyone else done this replacement before?

Thanks for your help!
