I bought my 316 (my first BMW) at Easter this year and have been doing minor cosmetic mods since then. It's a 1997 saloon/sedan with around 111000 (miles) on the clock, drives smoothly and pulls well considering it's only a 1.6.... also helps with the MPG & insurance!
Finally got around to getting some semi-decent pics taken so thought I'd upload them and see what you guys thought of my pride and joy. Let me know what you think, any comments welcome and appreciated, thanks!

Yep, got towed. Not sure why as many people post pics of their new cars in the E36 specific section?? Am I missing the point? Thanks for the comments!

Thanks, I'm using this as my dd and saving up for an M... What was the largest engine you guys got in the US? 318i?
It's called: "Montreal Blue". There's quite a few in my area in the same (or very similar) colour...
Thanks e36bmdub. I went for the cloth interior so that I didn't stick to the seats in the summer as I don't have A/C either :-(

well,
im sorry cos of my last reply...
Power front windows and manual rears...... never seen that before on an E36.
Nice looking E36 you have there. Clean.
"God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy." - Billy Currington
Really clean e36,i am owner of 316i too slow cars but gets awesome mpg,and for city cruiser its really enough
I found it hard to find one will electrics in the back when I was looking! It will be a requirement when I upgrade to one with a reasonable sized engine...
I really like it myself, and as you say it can take on different shades in different lights!
Thanks. Am planning to paint the front calipers red when I'm back from my holls, and might do the rear drums black so they are hidden rather than made more obvious... what do you think? I'm contemplating a 40/40mm drop by just replacing the springs... but I'm not sure if the stock shocks will take it. M3 bumper or some sort of front bumper lip to make it look a bit lower to the ground... but it's finding one at the right price (M3) or the right style (stock lip). Need to get on with a heat shield for the air filter soon too......
