I published the post Faulty temperature sensor in BMW E36 long time ago. The post talked about the reason why your OBC shows a wrong external temperature like -35F or -37C. At the time of writing that post, I was going to replace the sensor and to my surprise I found that it’s missing. Luckily the wires where hanging there. It seems that someone thought it’s not necessary and this car will not need it. Anyway, somehow I forgot the whole thing and it took me until today to actually get a new one (used) :p , take a look below:

Poor sensor 😀 . The wiring was very easy, just connect the sensor wires to the wires inside your brake duct and you’re set.

After I connected the temperature sensor, I thought the car will show the temperature right away, but it took some time until it started showing the correct temperature. First it started like this -37C , then  gradually increasing until it reached 0C then it started going up until it reached 30C.

It’s very nice to fix this problem and very easy at the same time, so if you have this problem in your car, I don’t think you should wait like I did. Just get the temp sensor and fix it.

Hello,

This is a BMW E36 with a black painted top, just what do you think of this car? I think it’s fabulous and one of the best E36 that I’ve seen with a black top. Normally, I don’t like the painted top very much, but on this car, it looks great! I don’t think the car will impress me if the top wasn’t black.

Hi,

I published a post about the impersonation of Al Pacino and I really liked that video. On Friday, I spent some time on Youtube looking for such cool videos and I found this one. It’s really cool you should all see it. I’m confused however, by the negative comments on Youtube. It seems this guy is getting some bad comments there and I honestly don’t know why is that!

This is the video

Hello,

I published the 18 Inch Wheels On BMW E36 which talks about the 18 inch wheels and shows some photos of how they’re supposed to look on the BMW E36 cars. Today, I’m doing the same but this time, I gathered photos for BMW E36 cars with 17 Inch wheels and without any drops. One of the things that I feel I need to tell you is that you should be prepared to pay for extra 1 to 4 miles per gallon if you decided to upgrade your car wheels from 15" to 17". Yes, the 17" wheels will make your mileage per gallon worse by 1 to 4 miles (at least on BMW 318is). In my opinion, the look upgrade deserves the sacrifice, but that’s just me 😈 I don’t know about you!
