BMW E36 Blog

I’ve just found out that there is a secret compartment inside our BMW E36 cars. This secret compartment is hidden inside the rear seat armrest and it’s actually a cup holder for the passengers in the rear seat. I’m not sure if this is only for the 4-door BMW E36 cars but I think so, because as far as I know, there’s no rear armrest in the BMW E36 coupe. I’m not 100% sure though. Anyone got these cute cupholders? Take a look at their photos … They are awesome! don’t you think?

I’m not sure if I should feel happy for this or not, but this blog has been attacked twice recently. I’m feeling happy because it means that the blog is getting more and more attention and that’s why the hackers are giving it their attention. On the other hand, I’m feeling pissed off because I thought that it’s secure enough, but it turned out that I was WRONG. Now, Before everyone starts feeling worried about this, I want to assure you that the attacks were made just to get backlinks from this website to other websites (this is called Backlink Juice) which aims to enhance their websites ranking. Luckily I’m here in defense and I won’t allow this to continue.

Today, I’ve been busy making many changes to enhance the blog security and protect it, hopefully, from any future attacks. But, I have a favor to ask. I’ve tested everything I could to make sure that my changes didn’t affect the normal work of the blog, but I’m not 100% sure that I didn’t mess something up, so about that favor … I just need your help in reporting any problems that you may notice or anything weird that you believe it started to happen recently.

thank you guys for being loyal readers to this blog and I hope I will be able to boost my performance in the next few days to provide you with new great posts.

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 😈
