[QUOTE="Vincent Hor, post: 235675, member: 1221"] Found this thread very interesting. Just bought a late 1997 E36 328i(A). The last owner is a 66 years old retired professional. He has maintain and upkept the car very well. The car is equipped with original M3 kits. Mileage is 155K kms. It's a local AB car. Currently riding on 16" E46 rims with almost new Michelins. Road tax is paid up till Sept. 2008 (previous owner). Undercarriage and suspension system has been attended to by the previous owner. Not a squeek going over humps and minor portholes. Engine sounds healthy and there are bills to show that the radiator, hoses, alternator, air cond compressor has been changed recently. Car has been completely sound proofed i.e. floor board, door panels and roof. Minus points : A little wet around the g/box oil pan (gasket), steering rod has signs of leak(repair kit?), fly wheel oil seal may need attention plus the power steering hose also need some attention. G/Box is Auto GM - PRND432 Is this a 5 Speed or 4 speed with a lock up OD. I noticed there is some vibration at the rear when doing speed of 100/120kph upwards. Will try to balance the tyres and see if problem persist. Is there other reasons for this to happen? Torque is superb but moving on from stand still requires a good thrust on the padle ortherwise it feels slow until I hit the kick down switch. Is this normal? Also at certain rev there seems to be a little "kick" in the gear change. It happens on accerelating and when you decide to lift off you foot from the gas padle. Is this a common issue? Or does this have anything relating to the rear diff? Would be good to hear from the sifu's [URL]http://usera.imagecave.com/Vinchor/[/URL] [IMG]http://usera.imagecave.com/Vinchor/[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
