Hello guys,
It’s time for our monthly model post. The model of this month belongs to Mark Hewitt who contacted me and asked me to take a look at his website and car. I have to admit his car is cool and well maintained. In addition to a very very long list of modifications. It’s quite impressive (and time consuming) list to read. Take a look, I hope you like it. It’s just fabulous.

I found this BMW E36 rear spoiler. To be honest, I usually hate such designs because I feel as if they’re too complicated and make the E36 look cheap. But, in the case of this spoiler, I’m feeling that it’s looking good. I don’t know why, maybe I’m sick? should I go to see my doctor or does it really look good? 🙂 I need your opinion guys… tell me.

Hi Guys,
I’ve found a thread on the bimmer forums talking about the features that some of us don’t even know they exist in their cars. So, I thought it would be cool to share them with you and see if you already knew about all these or not. So, let’s start:-
1. Speed Sensitive Volume (Harmon Kardon Audio System).
2. Speed Sensitive Wipers:- In the rain, the wipers will change their speed according to the car speed. The 3 settings for the wipers speed are:-
a. Intermittent:- Wipers go intermittently at speeds above 3 mph (about) and do not work at all when stopped.
b. Speed one:- Wipers go slowly at speeds above 3 mph (about) and go intermittently when stopped.
c. Speed two:- Wipers go fast at speeds above 3 mph (about) and slowly when stopped.
3. Closing All Windows and Sunroof By Holding Key in the Lock Position. (Didn’t work on my BMW E36 1993 318is though. I think it’s a 94+ feature). Take a look at this BMW E36 M3 Review and Info.
4. Gas Door Closes with Central Lock.
5. Heated Windshield Nozzles (Winter Package).
6. Heated Door Locks (Winter Package).
7. Tilt Steering Wheel. Anyone got this?
8. Cupholder/Central Console is pre-wired for the ashtray light.
9. Secret OBC Functions.
10. Heated Mirrors.
11. The BC Button On The Signal Selector. Just click your signal stick towards the steering wheel column. You can switch the OBC functions this way.
12. After you park the car you can switch on the parking lights on one side of the car only. To do this, just switch the car off and push the indicator stalk all the way up or down (it’s quite stiff). The right or the left parking light will turn on.
So, what do you think? Did you know about all these features? be HONEST 😈

I found this video for a BMW E36 M3 with an impressive performance. Take a look how it’s passing every car it encounters. The owner says it has a supercharger (C30). This may explain it, but still the driver is doing an amazing job too. Take a look it’s really cool.
Enjoy this…

Today, I have this question for you guys . . . What is the top speed that you have ever achieved out of your BMW E36? For me, I recall that I was on a high way once and I achieved (205km/h) and that wasn’t the best I could do. I had to slow down because of some cars that were going slowly ahead of me and when I tried to do it once more it was too late and I couldn’t get a proper place to try again. So my car’s top speed that I already have made was 205km/h. In the following video, there’s a BMW E36 318is car that achieves a 212km/h top speed (assuming the speed on the screen is accurate) although I believe it may even go further.
So, what about you? Please post your top speed and your car’s engine specs in the comments below.
IMPORTANT: If you didn’t try this before and you suddenly feel that you need to try it, please please be careful and make sure to try this in a proper place. When the car is moving at a speed like 200km+, it gets dangerous and may cause a very serious accident. Be careful!!
Enjoy this…
