I wrote before about a BMW E36 with blue interior LED lights conversion process. In that post, I presented a video with a modified BMW E36 and it looked great!. After that, I did some research to gather more information about how this process is done. It turned out that all the parts should be removed and the amber lights inside them should be replaced with blue LEDs (Light Emission Diodes). This can be accomplished with some intense work and care.
What I felt missing from this process is the gauges conversion. If you saw the video in my previous post, you will notice the red needles on the blue gauges. I was unclear about how this should be done until I found the owner of that car (DJ Genius). I’ve contacted him and asked him about these gauges and how he made the conversion. It turned out that these gauges are actually sold as one piece on the German Ebay and for a really great price (49 EUR). Check them out here.
I believe this is really nice and will make your car stand out from the crowd. So what do you think of such a conversion? Is it really cool or what?

The guys at BMW have never stopped amazing me. I used to have a BMW E30 before and every now and then, I was discovering some facts that made me say Wow! The BMW E36 is no difference. I’m feeling that every now and then, I discover something that makes me say wow too!. Today, I’ve discovered that the BMW E36 cars have come with an optional Parking Distance Control (Parking Sensors). It’s a rare option but what’s important is that it exists. Take a look at these photos which show how this toy is supposed to look on your BMW E36:
I think this option has came to life in 1995. Imagine that you’re parking your car and being able to know exactly when to stop. Before anyone asks, I’m very very good at parking, but I think that this option is really cool and makes you enjoy your car even more!
You can see the full diagram for such a system here in case you’d like to install one. I’m not sure whether it’s available but I think you can find it if you tried.
The one thing that I want you to notice is how creative BMW guys were in 1995. I’m not saying that they’re always that ones who invent new options and features, but they’re definitely one of the most important leaders in the car market. They just put the standards.

I’ve found this BMW E36 and I like it because it’s not messed up. I like making changes to BMW cars, but I like to keep the changes minimum not to ruin them like some people usually do. Starting by some modifications then ending with a Hyundai or Maybe a Honda :D. Anyway, consider this as an untouched vehicle and you want to make it look better, you can change 3 things at max. What these things would be? For me, I would change its Rims (Number 1). I would get leather seats (Number 2) and then I would Lower that car (Number 3). If I had a fourth thing that I can make, I would change the headlights too. But I will just keep it at three. Yeah, also, I know that some of you will be burning to mention the automatic change to manual as a choice. This has nothing to do with the car appearance remember?
Lets here it guys…

I have found this BMW E36 photos and I almost had a heart attack. I believe this car is ready to fly from that huge rear wing that you can see. I suddenly felt like I’m starting to hate E36 cars … so, of course, I didn’t like to suffer alone, so I decided to let you see the car too. This way, we all suffer because I believe in sharing your feelings with others. I hope you don’t hate me for this.
Enjoy…
