E36: Performance at a bargain!

[anxious]

The newest E36 is 10 years old and the prices are now very affordable. You can get a E36 for less than RM40k. Put aside anorther RM10k to fix it up and you would have a performance car at a bargain. The E36 is still very modern looking. A fresh coat of paint or a polish and wa-lah u hv a decent looking ride. Once you get the mechanics of the car in order, you can move your focus to modding the car....rims, suspension,stereo etc. You'll never get bored of the car until you move on to your next Bimmer. So guys, I invite you to join the E36 experience. Buy the best E36 you can afford and I guarantee you that you'll have no regrets. Happy Merdeka!

I agree with anxious! Also would like to add that one of the best done e36 I've seen is SC_IS_SG's http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showpost.php?p=351468&postcount=16

Happy Merdeka!

Happy Merdeka folks

Yes, selling you car can be a real headache esp if your car is over 10 yrs old. Thats why many people just trade in their cars even at a ridiculously low price.

But when you put in the effort that we have in our cars , it can be very frustrating to get such smses.

I hope your car finds a new home soon so you can get on with your next project.

I'd advise these kinda people no to reproduce, Hellraiser.

 

[han2u]

haha, the KNN-TNM-NMCCB-etc acronyms are damn funny. shit man, i aint gonna sell my e36 at these prices.

 

[Daredevil]

Hellraiser,

Nice one. Sometimes you get ridiculous requests and offers.

There's one thing I just don't get. One calls up and ask this question. "What's your best price ah?" before they even view or testdrive the car. For crying out loud, it's a car we're talking about here. Not a kg of meat or a bunch of spring onions. Hahahaha.......no offence to anyone. :wink: Sometimes it just tickles me to no end.

[Hellraiser]

A : "i saw your advert in motortrader and i'm a broker. is this your best price?"

B : "best price, bro. 36K just like the model..e36 (joke, gettit?!)

A : "the thing is my friend like's the car and he oredi saw your ad in MT"

B : "but...its your friend, right?? let him drive a nice car once in his lifetime lar..."

(friend must have asked him to nego on his part. ini macam punye kawan pun ada!)

 

[megatniza]

yeah ! long live the E36 ! that's why I had mine recently painted
as I intend to keep it for at least another 2-3 years .
btw , had always thought that the air intake beside the sportlights
are for cooling the discbrake ...downforce huh?...cool , very F1 !

ah...the e36.... the car that i "dreamed" of when i was still in university...
And then bila ada sikit duit....
My first BMW was the e36 318i MANUAL....so many years ago...but i still remember how i regularly drove it along the then Jalan Gopeng in Ipoh with the windows wind down & the audio player off so that i can hear the engine note :love: ... i still remember .... the brown leather seats & mint dashboard.... it was a beauty to drive, the manual gear shift was very precise & short. in fact i think the e36 still looks sweet & sporty. i still remember ... how after locking it and as i walk away, i would always turn back & look at the car. each time i did that, i said to myself fraking nice car

p/s the e36 is a lot cheaper to maintain than a proton perdana V6.
