I've had it for about three weeks now, finally had to time to sort through some cellphone pics and post up a thread here. I'm hoping this will serve as a journal or some sorts to document the progress of my e36.Got it from a forum member here, it is in pretty good mechanical and aesthetic condition. But I'm a little anal about maintenance stuff so right off the bat I have a few things I wanna replace. Part were bought but still sitting in the trunk waiting to be put on :biggrin: Paint has some dents, chipping and rock chips, might address that as well.Alright then, a few pictures for starters.First morning of ownership.
Waiting for oil change.
This is also my second e36 and BMW. When I went to check out my current e36, I took one look at it sitting on the parking lot: instant emotional reaction.Here's a picture in comparison.
That is all I have for now.
