I’ve found these photos for a red BMW E36 and I thought I should share them with you. I like the car in general, but if this car was mine, I would’ve made some changes to make it red-hot, instead of just red.

First take a look at the photos and then read what I would change to make this car look awesome

Alright, I will begin. This car needs:-

1. AC Schnitzer Rims (17-Inch): The 15-Inch rims look terrible on this car. I would change these immediately.
2. Umnitza BMW E36 ZKW Headlights: This will add a unique & modern look to the car and will enhance the lighting as well.
3. Seibon BMW E36 Carbon Hood: This should give the car an aggressive look. It will look awesome.
4. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Front Spoiler: AC Schnitzer body kit will give the car the racing look.
5. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Rear Spoiler: AC Schnitzer body kit will give the car the racing look.
6. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Left Mirror: Racing mirrors will make the car look great. They’ll boost the performance as well (not sure about the second one LOL! 😆 )
7. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Right Mirror: You can’t get one mirror for the car, can you?

What do you think? Did I miss anything?

This is a video about the BMW M3 history. It’s really nice to learn about the BMW M3 cars and how they’ve reached to this great shape and performance. I’m sorry about the video itself, it seems a little bit old, but the information provided is excellent. One thing I want you to pay attention to is the BMW E36 M3. It was doing a really sweet drifting and when that was combined with a good film shooting effect, the result was really great! This proves that the BMW E36 has the drifting and burnouts in their blood 😉 , I guess it’s a natural talent.

Enjoy.

Since day one, I was annoyed by my car’s floor mats. They were rubber floor mats and look really disgusting and since I know the quality of the OEM BMW floor mats from my previous E30 car. That made me even more anxious to throw those floor mats away. So, I went and bought another set of floor mats. They were medium quality but not the factory original ones. But guess what . . . I’m still hating these mats too. They have 2 main problems. One is their color. It’s a close match to my car’s interior, but not 100% match. Two is the drivers mat. It’s not fitting there correctly. It keeps moving back and forth and sometimes it gets stuck with my gas pedal.

I’m sure that almost everyone here is suffering from this. Sometimes I think that BMW didn’t make enough floor mats for all the E36 cars that they’ve made 😆 . Anyway, I kept looking for some decent looking floor mats and I think I finally found them. They’re from Koperformance and they have grip fasteners. Take a look, they look really awesome:

After getting these floor mats, I think this problem will be solved for good.

I’ve found a website which is talking about some new concept called "Disappearing Car Doors". It’s a new way for your car doors to open. Until now, we’ve seen four schemes in which a car door can be opened:

1. Doors that open vertically (Vertical Doors).

2. Doors that open up and out.

3. Doors that open in the opposite direction.

4. Doors that open to the top of the car.

But this new scheme that I’m talking about is actually a sliding scheme in which a car door opens down below the car floor.

It’s really cool and electrically controlled. It also can be overridden manually in cases of emergency. I really like these doors, but I’m not 100% sure about their cost or quality. Check them out here and let me know what you think?

I’ve been contacted yesterday by Peter (he’s of the blog readers) and he sent me this link which has a review for BMW Australia. Peter has suffered from problems in a number of BMW cars that he owned.

It’s really sad to read how much of pain he suffered with these BMW cars. I’m really sure these problems were annoying and maybe dangerous in some situations. I recall that my E36 used to turn off when I turn my A/C on and in some situations, it turned off in some bad areas that really scared me (in traffic intersections sometimes). After that, I had to do some research and keep looking for solutions until one mechanic successfully fixed it.

I know for sure that these cars need good maintenance which can cost a fortune sometimes, but I think you all agree that you enjoy driving them. I’m not affiliated with BMW in anyway but I have to be honest about this. These cars are fun to drive.

I have also noticed that every newer model of BMW is a little bit more complicated than the previous one and in some cases leaves you with some problems that no one can help you with. That’s a real situation that I’ve been in couple times lately. It seems that every newer BMW generation gets even more complicated which results in more faults and more money to pay for fixes. I guess the new Mercedes and Jaguar cars are not better though.

With all that said, I know that the cars (especially new models) have some serious problems and in some situation hard to fix also, but BMW is a cool car when it’s working fine 😆 and I guess that’s what keeps the crowd hungry for more of that product.
