    great that i have a e36 thread here. i m a very newbie just joined last week. i own a e36 for the last 6 years but just started to join this forum as i want to get help from those who own bmw especially the 328i. my issue is i want to downgrade from 328i to either 318 or 320, has anyone done that b4? cna i just change the engine or i need to have a half cut to change everything from wiring, dashboard to engine. also where can i source for a half cut. i read there is a 2 lit engine with 5 speed auto is that true where can i get one? hope i can get some help here.

    wow...downgrade from a 328 to 318 ...well never heard of this before ...upgrade ada larrr ...

    best bet is just sell the 328 and get another 318 is ( twin cam ) ...bet you don't wanna go through all the headache of getting the 1/2 cut and then replacing all the wiring looms etc etc ...

    Can I chip in?...my personal opinion,your e36 look much better without rear spoiler...just think about that before you drill any hole onto the boot...

    Kreuk kreuk sound under the car

    Problem:
    kreuk kreuk sound under the car mostly at the back when i reverse and turn the steering to get out from parking lot.
    i went to workshop to check the problem, they said everything was ok.

    Solution:
    luckily i solved the problem by myself. i jack up the car and hold it using jack stands, take out the tyres and i spray WD40 all around under the car. no more kreuk kreuk sound after that.
