BMW E36 Blog

I’ve started a poll couple months ago with a question which goes like this "Would you like to participate in BMW E36 Blog by posting your own articles?". The result of the poll was 68% with a Yes answer. Making many users participate in writing on this blog will be a very healthy thing (well I think). It can provide the blog with fresh voices who will add variety and enhance the user experience on this blog. So, I’ve decided to give this a try and see if it’s going to work or not.

Starting from today, if you have any article that you’d like to post to this blog you can do it. You will have to register on this blog (right sidebar). After you register, you can login to your account and write a new post. These posts will need to be reviewed by me to make sure they will have the necessary formatting and other stuff. For those of you who are already registered, I think you may need to contact me in order to modify your user role to become a contributor on this blog. So, please feel free to contact me or submit a comment below.

Please keep in mind that this is just a trial and it should not affect this blog quality or post frequency in anyway. If it worked well and found it helping the blog readers to get more useful information about their BMW E36 cars, I will keep it.

Of course, if you have any opinion about this new idea or you simply hate it. Please post your opinion. You all know that this blog is for you guys which means that if you don’t approve something, I’m not going to do it PERIOD.

I’m sure you’re a little confused about the title of this post, and you maybe hit it just to know what is that never ending story. It all begins with a thread on bimmerforums, in which, Quart3r asks the readers of that thread to help him create a story about BMW E36. The trick is that every reader should participate in writing the story with a line of text (no more) that will build on the previous post.

I liked the idea and found it very cute and funny. The story goes like this:

QUART3R: While driving in my 325i…
IM OVER IT: While driving in my 325i…I decided to trade it on a 318is
DOWNEASTER1: I decided to trade it on a 318is…and then sadly disappointed, I traded it back
ASC OFF: But it wasn’t the same
JAKEDANIEL: I felt I needed something more, something to fill the empty space in my heart and my driveway.
ROARF: …and then I saw the puddle under the car
BESKHU3EPNM: The puddle was dark brown, and it was found to be a mixture of power steering fluid, engine oil, and antifreeze.
DOWNEASTER1: so I called for my trusty Bentley manual
ASC OFF: To find it could not be repaired
BESKHU3EPNM: So I went on b.fc to research a S50/S52 swap [LOOOOL]!
ROARF: but I was drunk at the time and decided to swap in a VTEC instead
PAUL NJ: so I went to eBay and looking around I found some nice Mods
BESKHU3EPNM: Including this thread So I made another pointless thread on bf.c to ask everyone about it.
ROARF: then I found this thread and realized this was the answer to ALL of my problems
ASC OFF: When it arrived I started the install
RANDAN: This mod with a couple of stickers, easily gave me 50+ hp.
DOWNEASTER1: just then, a few of the local ricers showed up
BESKHU3EPNM: But I couldn’t drive anywhere as my plastic fan blade had shattered, taking out my rad, hoses, etc
ASC OFF: So the repairs began again
MMMCOOKIES…: so I hopped a ride in with one of the ricers and headed down to our local pepboys
PAUL NJ: and there we find some fine tuning, with the outstanding customer service
MMMCOOKIES…: until the drugs wore off and we realized we were in pepboys…
ROARF: I couldn’t help but notice the Dunkin Donuts next door. [LOOOOL]!
MMMCOOKIES…: so we flew over there but it was too late… the cops had baracaded the doors…. [A twist…]

If you liked the story like me, I think you’ll need to read the rest of the thread here.

Hi Guys, I have found this kit of Zymol products to clean your car’s interior. The kit contains Leather Cleaner, Leather Conditioner (Wow!), Fabrique Cloth Cleaner, Seal Conditioner  and Glas Cleaner + 2 Pre-Wax Applicators. I normally use the usual stuff for my car, but I think I’m going to try this to see how good it is. I know the price is a little bit high, but the products are very good and this kit also works as a gift for car lovers (maybe for Christmas 🙂 ). Take a look at it. You may like to get one for yourself too.

Hi Friends, I just wanted to wish you all a happy and safe thanksgiving. Of course, thanksgiving is not just about gathering with your family, it’s about what you appreciate in your life and feel that you’re lucky to have. For me, I’m thankful for my family who’s supporting me all the way. I’m thankful for my readers who enjoy my writings and try to help me whenever I make any mistakes. I’m thankful for BMW guys and especially the designers of the E36 😉 cars who made driving this car a real joy.

Have fun everybody and happy thanksgiving!

Hi, I’ve found a screen saver for BMW E36 cars only and since I know that you all are BMW E36 lovers, I’ve decided to share it with you. I have to admit that it could have better photos for better E36 cars, but still it’s a nice one and you have to try it and judge for yourself.

You can download the screensaver from here
