My "new" BMW E36 328i...... "小白"

[futobuta]

THAT'S THE BEAUTY-THE 320d! Test driven it yet?

Tried the X1 20d the other day....... could feel the torque!

It is in good condition... but just like any other car its age, it suffers from creaking/rattling sound here n there lah. But luckily, it came with a good sound system. Can cover up ANY unwanted noise.

Yea...the sound system is soo good..it'll be pain in ****** to change the rear absorber's mounting!! (credit to Albert, nothing broken in the process!) Congrat bro...you 're such a lucky owner...

Huh? The rear absorber mounting is broken? Didn't know that..... really?!

Don't get me wrong bro...it's not the rear absorber mounting broken, sometimes back, I'd seen the previous owner replaced the rear absorber mounting. Albert showed me of how "delicate" the job has to be done with all the expensive sound system in the trunk. He (Albert) himself afraid that he might broken something in the process...the powerful system was tucked neatly in the trunk..an expensive job I guess...sorry if I misunderstood you...:hmmmm2:

No problem... there's just so many things that I don't really know about my new ride. Slowly.... but surely.... I will get to know it better. My family kept on harping on what an old car I've bought. Hehehehehehe....

how much are you selling the GTI? mileage? your GTI definitely unmolested. haha.

this 328i is definitely not stock right? what are the mods? stock 328i definitely no faster than gti.
but manual is very nice!

16yr old car... how to be stock?! I'm not really sure what has been done to her over the years by the previous owners.... but definitely a lot has been done... and I mean.... A LOT. My 328i has a 3litre powerplant.... more hp and torque compared to the gti.. but the power comes much later... so the GTI does feel more powerful.

This is an E36 with M3 engine.

But driving this car is nice... looks very understated...... nobody would even take a second look at my car... hehe.

 

[initialM]

I'll choose this E36 from gti anytime. Gti is a good car. Its just me who dun like the FWD car feels.

Don't know if it is something wrong with me... but I can't really feel the difference betwen FWD and RWD... maybe I'm not pushing hard enough.

Under the control of a master, then it's a beast...... Under some amatuer like myself, it is just a little puppy.

R u sure? U didn't feel the 50 50 weight distribution of the BMW? especially in corners & braking.

O

Like I said, I'm still not used to the car, do I don't really dare to push it yet. It does want to go fast but under normal driving conditions (especially during cny traffic) I can rarely get into forth gear! This car really makes me feel like getting a real M, but sadly........no budget. Wakakakaka.
