I just bought an E36 from forum member (very nice hansem guy). Very nice car compared to my previous wira.First day spend about RM606 new rear disc rotor, brake pads and service. Replace old tint for RM700.View attachment 23613View attachment 23614View attachment 236156th day (yesterday), car cannot start. Give me goose bump. After checking, battery died and replaced for RM270.I already downloaded the owner's manual and reading it. Still there are some switches that not mention in the manual.I’ll take some picture. Hope sifus here can tell what it is for.Any recommended workshop around taman u, skudai.Thank you.
 
I remembered my first car was a 1994 E36 318i

Pretty sure you will enjoy it. Despite that at the beginning for the first year investments will be high in replacing such and such old parts ..

Don't hesitate to browse the forums and find your way.
 
Welcome to the forums bro. Congrats on your purchase.

Welcome to the life and times of BMW ownership.

One minute it puts a huge grin on your face, the other... :D
 
Thanks Seewai, 2hoopm and Eggie86. Sure enjoying the ride..hope less grin in future.
 
oppsss should had upgraded to ventilated ones for the rear ... then you'll get the ultimate breaking power ....but inorder to use the ventilated ones you got to hunt down the rear brake calipers too as the e36 single disc ones won't fit yehh ...

some pictures of ya ride :)
 
Hi yat325, yes you're correct.

Hi ICEMAN 13, yup missed the chance. Only read about the upgrade after replaced it.

Thanks.
 
welcome bro.. congrats on your acquisition over an immaculate blue car. it's a good routine maintenance having the rotor inspected and changed. wish to see your car and test drive :)
 
Hi ezzo369. I think you already test drive this car before.

Got lots of bmw and merce there. They are castrol authorised service centre too.
Hope can find the root cause of inttermitent start issue.
If the service is good they will be maintaining this car later.
 
Replaced some items. Car feel much better now.
Total bill RM614.
1. Clean air valve (RPM/timing not stable)
2. Valve cover gasket - RM65
3. V/Cover seal ring RM6 x 10 - RM60
4. Timing cover gasket - RM45
5. Profile gasket - RM27
