Hi guys, The old models of BMW E36 used to come with water pumps that have plastic impeller (I think the cars older than 1996) and these are real bad boys, they easily fail and almost always with a very bad timing as well. In today’s video, you can see the first sign of a failing water pump. I think checking your water pump should take a minute or two, but it will definitely help you avoid any future overheating problems which can cause more serious damage to your car such as blown head gasket. If you have succeeded this test, it doesn’t mean that your water pump is in best shape, but it can at least give you an indication that you’re doing fine and that the water pump is not going to die on you in the next two days! 😀 I suggest you do your homework to avoid doing it at the most improper times for you.

Hi all, It’s time for our monthly model post. In today’s post I’ve found this cool BMW M3 and decided that it deserves to be featured here on the blog as miss April 2008. Please pay special attention to the car’s interior. The rims and the painted calipers. The car looks great! I hope you like my choice for this month. Please feel free to let me know what you all think.

I’ve found a thread on the bimmerfest forum which was made by E36youngster. E36youngster was doing some checkups for the storage buildings of his marina company when he opened one of those storages and found these cuties stored there 😮 . They’re a fantastic collection of cars and I can say with confidence that their owner has a real good taste in cars 🙂 . Imagine that you have all these great cars in your garage and everyday you wake up in the morning and having a really hard decision to make . . . that is, which car I’m going to drive today? hmmm… that’s a hard question, isn’t it? Well, I know that most of you will decide to go with the E36, but for me, I would enjoy them all AS much as I can.

Well, I didn’t really expect you guys to fall for this joke and to fall that easy! 😈 Actually yesterday was the April’s 1st and I thought I would try to do a silly joke and see if you guys will fall for it or not. To be honest, I was expecting one of you to say "Hey Tony! This is not your car, are you kidding me?" (take a look at the rims and the side skirts). But what can I say! you all just fall for it. I hope you all have a laugh at this and find it funny. And I want to thank you all from my heart for sending me your messages and comments which were filled of compassion. My car is safe and sound and you can see it here! it’s unharmed. 😀

Hi folks, yesterday I decided to go an enjoy my car a little bit because it has been a bit too long since the last time I went out. I’ve been very busy with work and I felt that I wanted to feel some speed and doing some crazy things, so I went to a place that I know which isn’t normally crowded and started enjoying my car. The area is great and it’s usually quite so you can try to drive as fast as you can without anyone disturbing you or stop you (police!). After a while I was driving in a very narrow street and there was this tuck which was trying to make a turn and I was doing like 110km/h or something like this when I saw him. I knew right away I won’t be able to stop the car before I hit him, so I started using the horn hoping this stupid A$$ will stop, but he didn’t and I hit him really hard. Luckily I didn’t suffer any injuries and the accident didn’t reach to me (at least one good thing in this bad day), but my car is really really destroyed. Take a look at these photos. I think I will need a fortune to get my car back the way it used to be. Damn it!
