My "new" BMW E36 328i...... "小白"

[phas3r]

3.0 from e36 m3? it is a beast indeed. definitely faster than GTI.

but i always wondered why you keep on buying fast cars when you have no place to speed

Well, just there's just this urge to own them. Mid-life crisis? The GTI is a beautiful ride, I have to admit that. Just wanted to try out BMW. I don't really speed. PDRM says "Jangan.....". Hahaha. I like fast acceleration, but I don't go for super high top speed... My reflexes aren't so good. That's just something we can't buy.

How can you compare me with the previous owner?!!! He's PRO driver level already!!! I'm just an old man with slow reflexes..... It takes me 2and half hours to drive from Ipoh to KL...... with 1 toilet stop.

FWD cars suffer from torque steering....when you are turning,the power from the front wheels drives your car into the turn more than expected.....and you end up overturning...its a scary feeling!

never compare yourself with the previous owner ...that's bad ..no one is a pro driver and me included ...i'm too an old man with blurring eye sight ...can't differentiate 110 and 210 km/h on the speed board ...so how can you say so that you're just an old man with slow reflexes ...common .... so do i see this white beast coming to kl on 18 ??

I'll try to go.. but can't promise anything yet. Need to make a lot of arrangements. I still dunno where this place is. MMZ? Where's that?

Monday.... my offday. Went to the workshop to fix a small leakage problem under the engine and at the same time, fix all loose door handles... and since the door panels were opened, I requested them to change all the door panel clips. Wah... owning it for 1 month already 2 visits to the workshop.... and also 1 visit to change tyres and 1 visit to the tyre allignment shop. Hope to further improve the already pristine condition of this car. Next up... maybe change the whole clutch.

perghhhh...
superb interior..
clean n tidy xtrior
congratulation

 

[futobuta]

I was the first to be at the workshop...... even earlier than the workers!

That's because I was told to be there by the boss there. Hehe.
Spent half the day in the shop and saw some interesting things... such as the photo below.

This is taken from below a E46 coupe.

haha..those twins left orphans..

 

[namidub]

Missed my GTI after selling it. Now only I realise I prefer "turbo" over "NA". Don't get me wrong, the E36 is a nice ride..... but I missed the sudden gush of power the turbo delivers. Anyway, and so I went jalan-jalan tengok-tengok.... and I found this nice looking E92 335i waiting for an owner. Bawa bini go see and she also likes it. But she said that I'm only allowed to keep one. Either I sell the E36 and get the E92... or just keep the E36 and forget about the 335i. Waaaa.. difficult decision. Have to decide soon before someone else grabs that E92.

Gave my E36 a nice cold bath this morning (even before I took mine). Since the weather was nice (a little bit on the hot side), decided to bring her out to the park for a little photoshoot.

Those BBS sure looks good on the E36!

Buttshot!!

Trying my best to keep the engine bay clean!
