I’ve found these photos for a BMW E36 with *single* wiper. I have to admit I don’t like how it looks, but don’t you think if there was a professional solution that will enable us to install a single wiper on our BMW E36 cars that it would look cool. Don’t you think?

I wrote before about the BMW Auto Folding Mirrors, but I couldn’t find a video for these mirrors in action. Today, I’ve found a video to show you exactly how they’re supposed to work in your BMW E36. Please notice how these mirrors are being operated by a one-touch button, but personally, I prefer connecting them with the car’s switch so they will unfold when you turn your engine on and automatically fold when you switch your engine off. This way, it would be better at least in my opinion.

Take a look, I hope you like it.

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 😈

Hello,

Today, I’m going to write about this BMW E36 car with side air vents. The owner of this car just installed these air vents that you can see in the pictures below to see if they’re going to look good on his car or not.

While, I’m not a fan of none standard accessories that I believe in many cases will make the car look ugly and ricey to say the least, this time it was different. Now, I’m sure that you all are going to disagree with me, but I think the side air vents should look great on our BMW E36 cars, but NOT THIS ONE.

If I were to install such air vents, I would’ve bought something not shinny like these and installed them correctly on my car (please notice that these were installed in the opposite directions).

If these were black and without any chrome on them, I think they would’ve looked great on the car. What do you guys think?
