thunderchild's pictures | Australian E36 318is Good Day All This is my second post on the forum, bought my first bmw, a 1997 E36 318is about two months ago. Since then I’ve been cleaning/restoring it back to its original condition. Just needed lots of TLC, and the previous owner had replaced the stereo with an aftermarket one (a pioneer, not a bad brand, except that it was silver and didn’t match the dashboard). I started to look around for the correct system for the car, with no luck in my area. By chance the radiator decided to go, and while I was getting it repaired, I mentioned to the auto repairer that I was looking for a stereo for the car, he just happened to have a one with a matching Cd stacker out of a e36 M3. This is now fitted, and after ordering the audio cable from Bmw, works like a dream. The rims came from a mate with a 318ti, changed the whole look of the original car, they just need to be a bit bigger, looking for the same style but in 17". After that maybe a m-tech body kit, and then to top it all off, an ibach suspension kit. It probably won't end there, lets see where it takes us. Richard |
