    It's perfect. Did you graft e46 fenders on there?

    Bought my sedan in '05 so 13 years. It's' probably been out of commission for 1/3 of that time ... Owned 4 other e36s but held on to this one.

    I've technically owned my current e36 m3 for a little over a year, but I've owned several e36 m3's since 2001. The best M3 BMW has made to date.

    Thanks, yes I did that after unfortunately hit a dog. Since the car had to go to the paint shop,I decided to go with E46 fender at the same time.

    I remember seeing your car at Bimmerfest East back in the days,that event in 2010-2012 was so cool with all the modded E36 M3!

    I've had my badboy since the day I picked her up on Dec 31, 1996.

    Car looks awesome, I loved it when it was stanced out but this look is definitely better. Sorry a dog had to sacrifice itself for you to graft those fenders but it turned out great!

    I bought my M3 in late August 2001. It was just coming off a lease, with 18k mi. It now has about 65k on the clock.

    Here are some pics from over the years...

    yay
    Ofter hear that no one really loves the E36.

    I took possession of a 325is in 2002.

    16 years later, it's still my favorite.

    DE-spec E36 328i/M3 cab
    328i cabrio bought in April 2006, still my daily. Nearing 300.000 km

    M3 cabrio bought in May 2013. 1 of 12 LHD AW on Black M3 3.2 cabrio's. Project car. Possibly the most optioned E36 on the planet. Now on exactly 93.500km


    328i as it was the day I picked it up.



    Between 2006-2013, before the M3 came, this was my "I'm retrofitting all possible options" project car and DD.

    Somewhere 2007-08




    It went through many fases untill at its height, it looked like




    Then the M3 came, which already had a big option list. The things it didn't have, all was taken out the 328i and put into the M3

    Cannibalizing the 328i for all its goodies


    The M3 as it was the day I picked it up (unfortunately, its factory Styling 24's were long gone)




    Way too dirty engine, but luckely no oil. How do they do it?


    Which quickly went to



    Then in 2014






    Fast forward to 2017-18
