Lovely ride mizhan!

thanks guys. the 328i was my first BMW. before that I drove a W124 320CE. I enjoyed driving and refurbishing the E36, until another former here made me an offer I couldn't refuse. that made way for the E46 330i :biggrin:

Glad to hear you sorted out your issue bro.

 

[Lee36328]

can't help it.. you guys make me miss her

Yes, it has a way of getting into our emotion.

I can't imagine letting go of mine for that reason.

Lovely car you had bro, well done on how well you kept here condition.

Amazing for a 8 or 9 year old car (at best. E36 production ended in 1998 if not mistaken). Do let me know the next time you're selling any of your cars. Pandai jaga kereta.

You finally tinted your ride? Very nice! What is the brand and specs? Are those Euro plates I see?

Hi bro Casper909,

No, that's not tinting, just the effect of the camera and lighting. Tinting is being planned, and yes, I intend to go darker. From the photos, I think darker will bring out the paint job further.

As for the plates, not sure what they are called, but here's what it looks like up close. I've edited the actual number plate, but one gets the picture.

I'm rather fond of the new plates as I feel they freshen up the look and feel nicely. The blue and white complements the badge too by coincidence. A bit vain, with apologies, could not resist.

 

[casper909]

Looks very nice the fonts and yes darker tint would bring out your car color a lot more and add that X-factor! However, just be careful coz the cops might pull you over every now and then especially during roadblocks. A tip from a ex-user of euro fonts.

 

[Lee36328]

So far, fingers crossed, so good. I guess the recent blocks were more searching for illegal immigrants or something, not that I am complaining.

Thank you for your nice comment. Am sure your e36, with a bit of tender love and care, can be brought up just as nicely.

After all, the 'before' in my case looked like this...

Yes, it was in bad shape indeed.
