BMW E36 Blog

Take a look at this thread on bimmerfest. It has a list of the most common mods/upgrades that can be made for your BMW E36 and best of all, the list is ordered by what you should do first. The list includes decent petrol to use for your car, good spark plugs like the NGK IRIDIUM IX, Good tires like Pirelli, Bridgestone and Yokohama, CAI (Cold Air Intake) but I’m not sure about the 10BHP gain as I read many posts about BMW owners not feeling any difference after that upgrade. To continue with the list Good brakes, Performance chip like (Dinan or Turner although I hear that Turner performance chip will make you feel the difference more in performance). These are the basic upgrades for your BMW.

If you’re interested in doing more advanced upgrades, follow the link above as it will provide you with more details and more procedures to give your BMW E36 stronger muscles 😉

I’ve found out that the police in Fairfax county (Virginia) are using BMW E36 325i convertibles as their police cars. Wow! this is awesome, now I really want to be a cop :p . The car doesn’t look very cool with the paint and the rear blue lights, but it’s really nice to be a cop and enjoying BMW cars at the same time. I mean to get paid to drive your convertible BMW E36 car, race and put some criminals in jail. I have to admit they’re having a nice life there 😆 . Anyway, take a look at the photos, and pay attention to the last one. The cop is enjoying every minute of it.

I wrote three articles until now about how you can make your BMW lights turn on automatically at night. In the first post, I proved that this should be something easy to implement inside a BMW E36 car. In the second post, I presented a circuit diagram that will help you create the electronic circuit that is supposed to control your lights and to turn them on automatically at night. In the third post, I wrote about my first attempt to implement this circuit and told you that it’s partially working but it needed some enhancements.

Today, I had the time to re-implement the circuit that I’ve been talking about and I connected it to the car. Then, I shot this video for the circuit in action. In the video, I tried to put my hands closer to the light sensor to make it "think" it’s night. Take a look at the video and let me know what you all think.

Note: this car is not mine, it’s my brother’s car and it’s dirty as usual 😆 .

I’m sure you all know by now that I hate Mercedes and Audi and basically any major company that’s competing with BMW 😆 . And since I posted about the Bugatti Veyron vs BMW M3 before and the poor BMW was humiliated. I thought why not do the same for Mercedes? So, I did a search and luckily found this. It’s a humiliating video for the Mclaren SLR, I hope you like it BMW fans 😈

It’s time for our monthly model post. In this post, I’ve chosen this cutie to be miss March 2008 and I think it’s a very cool car. But I have mixed feelings about the rims. At first, I thought they’re really special for it and then I said, there are other models that will look better on it, then again, I thought they’re cute. I’m not sure about them honestly. What do you think? Do you think these rims look cool or not?
