And now with 4 x brand new tyres, BMW wheels, pelican parts cup holders, wood grain surround, clear indicators, K&N air filter...

Ok so most of it is cosmetic but it is a 318i, nuff said. And I also plan to get the bumpers painted and get some fog lights.

[E36 Phantom]

Nice! That shifter surround looks sweet.

What is it with Aussies and mudflaps? I was considering doing a study abroad in Australia, but I think I'd die if I had to drive a car with mudflaps....:rofl:
Oh, and the K&N is a HUGE step BACKWARDS. Go buy a new OEM filter or get a real filter. K&N is an overpriced screen and totally useless.

Oh, and the manual windows (!!!) and cloth seats still trip me out dude. :rofl:

[BMW318i_]

Oh, and the manual windows (!!!) Do you realise how many problems would ocur if I changed them to power windows?:nono:

[E36 Phantom]

:rofl: Oh I know, just saying, I had NEVER seen an E36 with manual windows until yours dude. Definitely never sold in America like that (or mudflaps for that matter...:rofl:)

What's the big P in the windshield?

[foamerdave]

Sharp!!! That and what is the part# for the cup holder

[BMW318i_]

Sharp!!! That and what is the part# for the cup holder
Part no. is 82-27-9-404-572-BOE bought it from "Pelican Parts" until then I had no idea the shipped to Australia.

:rofl: Oh I know, just saying, I had NEVER seen an E36 with manual windows until yours dude. Definitely never sold in America like that (or mudflaps for that matter...:rofl:)

I'm gonna see what my BMW looks like without mudflaps now, and as for the "P" it is a "Provisional licence". Tighter restrictions for younger drivers 0.00 blood alcohol concentration, um, I'm sure there are other things to.

[bimmerbarbie]

The wheels helped out a lot. Looks awesome!

The mudflaps are so they don't fling mud from the tires all over their booty.... duh. Geez, some guru you are. :rolleyes:

[E36 Phantom]

I know WHY they're there.

That doesn't change the fact they look like ass.

:p

[B/\/\W]

I'm liking the colour, the RHD, and the glass headlights (same as mine of course), as opposed to plastic scratched ones.

Lack of electric front windows does suck, I have them, but my rear windows are manual also.

Mudflaps make the car look like a family car, but I don't think they necessarily look bad.

We both have the same 115HP 168 N/m engine. It sucks, but you can actually pretty well keep up with a 318is or 320 up to a certain RPM point, especially if you hit the accelerator first and shift properly.

I bet it handles better with those alloys on instead of hubcaps!

I sprayed my bumpers too, initially went with clear indicators, then went back to amber.

[E36 Phantom]

Color. ;)

[BMW318i_]

Well the mudflaps that look like a "family car", "ass" whatever. They are now gone:)

[E36 Phantom]

:clap:

I haven't hardly ever seen mudflaps on cars in the States, yet I see em in so many Aussie photos.

[B/\/\W]

There used to be a few over here too, but now, you never see them unless it's a really old car.

[denice25]

Cool man, Congrats!!!

[bimmerbarbie]

Now your booty will get dirty but at least it won't look like ass. :thumbup:

I don't really see that it makes a huge difference, but yes I suppose it's better.



Lies Chad! You didn't know why they were there. I helped. See bboy, that makes 2 people I've helped so far. :p

Amber removed her mud flaps, Now her booty is always dirty...

[E36youngster]

looks good!

i would kill for cloth interior. M3 LTW cloth that is

[bimmerbarbie]

They figured when they sold me my car that my booty was too pretty to cover it with mudflaps. Can't help it. The pretty gets special treatment.

Erm mine must be like myself REALLY OLD :rolleyes: , 'cus mine still has the original bm' mudflaps front and rear . I think the tailored fit ones are brill , not so keen on "universal" flat type , a bit "chav" as the younger genaration here in the UK would say . JJ .

The front end wants a wap over with a spray gun . I like the tartan headlining . My door card is sat in the kitchen at the mo' where's yours ?

[Progress]

Hey amber!

[bimmerbarbie]

:thumbup:

Is that black mark on the lower front corner a scuff or is it a scratch and the red paint as come off ? JJ .

Eagle eyes, that's your new name. We were discussing booties :rofl: The front bumper has all sorts of road rash and evilness from the previous owner, that would be why I don't take many direct front shots until I get a new bumper (yeah, it's that bad that I don't even think new paint would be enough to fix it), but that isn't a priority ATM.

[bimmerbarbie]

Sneaky sneaky editing like that. It needs more than just paint....

Thanks, I liked my headliner too :D A door card is...?

A door card is ??? ta-da .... the interior panel fitted to ??? ..... the inside of the door (the suspense building i did was good eh?)

I canna lie to you , i did amend my 1st posting as i looked at your 1st pic' and wanted to comment on the rash on the chin of your front bumper , those wheels have you put on ? I like them i too think the 5 spokes are best , but the spokes are too thin for the muscular bulky e36 (just my opinion) . Eagle eye JJ signing off . :angel:

Oh i don't care. My name is MICHAEL! ROAR!!! I EAT... HAHA

[bimmerbarbie]

I should've known that, sorry long night and all I could think of as "door card" were the room keys in hotels. Still not done... believe me, I'll have pics and the whole nine yards when they're finally finished.

The wheels were on when I bought her, and I like them. For now at least. I didn't there for a while, but they grew on me. I've always been a sucker for a simple 5 spoke, and these were close enough to make me happy. Hm, I don't see the E36 as "bulky". The lines are sleek and elegant, and look more streamlined to me than bulky. I feel the rims fit with the simplicity, and clean elegance of design, and don't clutter up the profile.

[bimmerbarbie]

Mike... you eat roar?

[BMWE46///M3]

Nice job. The tires look good.

So what are you doing to your door "interior panels" ? I know what you mean about the wheels growing on you , mine have and i was going to buy alpina 20spokes when i bought the car , i like the valveless rims :wow: (holy shi-ite i've just noticed the extra smilies my beer goggles must be awesome to nite) 1 last question why is it called slasher ? . JJ .

[Progress]

We are not going to start the conversation, haha its a little private. You should get on chat and amuse me.

It's secret. I'd have to kill you if I told you. Beer goggles? You drunk posting on us, Eagle Eyes? :rofl: It's named Slasher because when I went to pick it up, it was on the trailer and not just one, but two of the wheels on the trailer shredded within half an hour of each other. Then I couldn't sleep while we were waiting on a tire shop to open, and in my delirium I started wondering how you'd pronounce the ///M slashes.... and it all tied together into a name, and unfortunately it stuck.

Erm yes , it's 5past 10 on a saturday night here in Blighty and like the masses i'm bladdered , and obviously my eye/hand coordination is starting to suffer , it ain't nowt at the best of times but what the heck .
When i had my mz3 , i never talk about it much ;) , it's the only car i ever named and i named it m , because that's all the badge on the boot said . JJ .

:rofl: I name them because that's usually one of the first questions people ask me, and don't want to disappoint the masses. The stang was named Jezabelle.... that was really the most fitting of all the names.

It's ok, I'll start looking for more drunk posts from you, see if I can spot them. :thumbup: "Bladdered"? That's cute.

If it makes less sense than normal you'll know JD's influenced my writing , and when i'm sober-ish i do tend to use regional slang (mates tell me i talk with a really bad accent they find funny) and i do try and put it into words on various forums i go on :beerchug: < that is very appropriate .

I dont like wheels like yours, they are too revealing, exposing your small calipers and corroded rotors its being always been a -1 in my book. they only look good when used in conjunction with big breaks.

[bimmerbarbie]

Which means? My statement was much better. You should put it in your sig. :thumbup:


And for the record, my brakes are NOT corroded. Those pictures were from it being washed and detailed for three days. I didn't move it so it wouldn't get dirty between days, and in the humidity and heat here brakes always get like that after you wash it if they aren't used. I took the pictures then to capture it at it's shiniest. Poopyhead.

No, I didn't even ask a question!!! You guys suck at reading! :rofl:

Bboy: girls + revealing = win. What's the problem? :D And really, talking about E36s, the LAST thing you want are big breaks. No breaks would be much better, but small breaks would still be better than big breaks. ;)

You didn't ask a question, I provided you with information you were lacking. Therefore helping. I helped, just accept it.

They're M3 brakes. They stop the car. Function performed fantastically.

I wasn't aware Mississippi is a figment of our imaginations. It isn't real? Next you'll tell me Tinkerbell isn't real either.

Bboy is just jealous cause I'm cooler and prettier. He'll get over it eventually. :rofl:

[E36 Phantom]

Really, you have M3 breaks? Are M3 breaks more expensive than regular breaks? I still think no breaks are better.

i wasn't referring to your car in specific, i love your car. I was only elaborating on why i dont like that kind of wheels. Im actually giving you pointers on what you should do next. ;)

[E36 Phantom]

Bboy, I'm not even clicking the link since the file name is something about fat bikini. No thanks. : puke:

And Amber, Bboy said breaks so I was messing with him, then you jumped in and did it too. I was surprised to see you do it, so I had to keep going. Took you guys long enough. :p

[bimmerbarbie]

I clicked it, it's his girlfriend. Seems he's into whales and waterbeds. He likes it when he hits it and it hits back. Tidal wave!

I didn't even realize it, that's a bad sign. I can't believe I did it too I'm usually more aware than that. Crazy.


:lmao: Bboy, love the sig. You guys are too much!

Really? He told me it was the "before" pic of you a few years ago on your Myspace. :dunno:

Actually thats her sister, shes the sexy one :D
oh yeah and by sister i mean you

[bimmerbarbie]

You can tell he was lying when he told you that, darling. To lose that much weight and not have stretch marks all over the place is impossible. Plus, my tattoos would be just inky smudges.


And they're not.




Regarding the comma statement: You, too, sir, are a poopyhead. Put that in your grammar Nazi pipe and smoke it.

Skin removal, getting the tattoos after the weight loss program? :dunno:

Moot point anyway, as he corrected the lies he told you in a post above. Could you not read it?
Here's what he said, talking to you:
Actually thats her sister, shes the sexy one :D
oh yeah and by sister i mean you

So he's saying the picture is of his girl's sister, that his girl is the sexy one, and you're his girl's sister, ie, the one in the picture from a few years ago.

2 against 1. We win. End of.

[bimmerbarbie]

Bboy asked properly, without using creepy smilies that made me NOT want to put any up.

[bimmerbarbie]

reread post :rofl::rofl:

See you misunderstand the way I read. If I'm confused, I just read it the way I think it should have been written, and then respond accordingly. Which is what I did in this case. It didn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense, so I just said "Ok, he said sexy, so that must have been a reference to me."

I reject your theory.

It was pretty icky when he did that. Made me feel electronically violated. Kind of like Andy's VHV.



That's the beauty of it. I can get away with saying your ego is overinflated because mine is too. You hadn't noticed that until just now?
