E36 M3 Saloon - Upgraded w/ Xenon Headlights

[ae86_16v]

Yeah I know about the steering wheel. I like the wheel that was offer for the M Roadster/M Coupe or late model 98 and 99 build M3s, the 3 spoke one. (That wheel actually came in other cars such as the 740i Sport and the 540i Sport, and of course the M5.)

But there is no way around it, all Sedans/Saloon had the 4 Spoke wheel.

Maybe down the line, I'll do a retrofit, but then that is a good 500 to 600 bucks for the new wheel (including airbag).

Was kind of artisty this past weekend. Saw a whole bunch of car sites and decided to try out some new camera angles. . .







(I just noticed something, it seemed like ImageShack has lost a few of my original pictures that I started this thread with. That's weird. I guess it isn't that reliable after all.)

Great car, and as gis said, it really does look good in white, even more so in the flesh. White M3s are very rare back home but I have seen a couple white E36 M3's here.

An excellent choice, sir!

Okay, I said I will not modify the car. . . I lied. No seriously, this is the one and only upgrade.

ZKW E-Code headlights to replace the crappy US DOT ones. Significant upgrade in the lighting pattern and visibility.

^ Thanks for the compliment. Actually no, all US cars for the E36 had orange signal lamps. Now with the newer cars, BMW uses the clear lamps to differentiate the Sport Models and the regular ones.

I actually like the orange (one of the few people that do). I think it contrast well with a white car. When it is all white, for me, it seems too white. If I had a darker color (black or blue) then I would definitely get the clear lamps. Even with a silver car, I think I would rather keep the orange lamps .

^ More BS from you . I spent over 12 months looking for this car as a 4 door manual. And now actually I now want a Coupe as a second car . You know, it's the whole "The grass is greener on the other side" thing.

Thanks! You know why I really have this is because I can't afford an E30 M3 . Prices for those have skyrocketed in the US!

Thanks Davide for the compliments. Not sure what you meant about first timer car though.

I know M3E30 is almost 1/5 - twice expensive than M3E36 here too
