    If there was one mod you wished existed, but doesn't, what would it be?

    Well, the E36 has been around for almost 15 year now, just curious to see if anyone ever said to themselves "I can't believe no one ever has come out with a xxxxx for this car"?

    Well since I have an automatic trans (yes I know) I would wish that there was a manumatic trans with paddle shifters and 6 speeds.

    Good for at least 2 tenths in the quarter.....

    Curious if there is an adapter for brembo calipers for our cars.... Like maybe using a set off a wrecked EVO or STI. That would be sweet.

    Good suggestion. The brakes on my EVO X rocked.

    Yes! With how many problems these cars have with this, it blows my mind that nothing short a GT1 can read the codes.

    Since the E46 ZHP manual transmission fits the E36, I wonder if the automatic transmission fits as well. Did the E46 have the paddle shifters?

    the worst mod is the baby mod, it makes all other mods way too expensive.

    i wish there was a mod that deleted or tricked all the sensors (including those pesky knocksensors) and a/f adjustments (and delete the hfm). it's too bad non of the japanese tuners got into the e36, there would be some sweet piggy backs and turbos at reasonable prices.

    I bet if every person on b.f.c went out to their car today and had a euro S50B32 and getrag 6-speed, hardly anyone would ask about power increases here and more people would focus on the soul of this car... Handling!
