[MYE36]

Hai & Hello bimmer forumers and bimmer sifu's,

Need an advice since Im planing to own 1 e36 325 which year 1994 after seen a few video at youtube with the superb impression from outside (exspecially europe) side.

Any pros & cons for this particular car?

1) need to know what the budget if i want to change everything to look nice such as , full leather seat , change the color and etc...

2) what is the most common prob for this 20years old car ? are like others common germany faulty car ? "mudah terbakar"

in regards to your inquiry ...

1) 20K min.
2) depends on the car you're gonna purchase ...where is it coming from ..the used car dealer or an owner
the common problems depends on the car relatively ...not everyone would face problems as mentioned on WWW.

What kinda budget do you have to play with? That, I believe is the most important question and will determine the outcome of your ownership of an e36 325.

Briefly:

For seat reupholstering you can get quotes from shop to get an idea. I guess the forum favorite would be Top Cushion in Subang. I would advice avoiding Carbi-deco in Puchong, wasn't too satisfied with their work personally.

Painting will depend on the level of paintjob you're looking at. I'm sure our more experiences sifus in here can guide you.

There will be wear and tear, your first year or two of ownership will be addressing all these as best as you can. The good thing is, once you've replaced the parts, they will last you a long while. Speaking from experience. 10-20k should be able to make it mechanically sound (including some suspension mods).
