LOL it was painfull to wait untill the very last pic to find the custom shot dude! Thanks for it, and very niceE36 you've got there!

So which wheels are on the car now?

325i is very nice, i like it, and those wheels are fantastic, i mean on that first images, in 95 was 2.5 replaced with 2.8,
i got important question to you: how much is distance between 325i 94 and 328i 95? of course 328 got more torque,but do you got personal experience with 328 ?
Do you got manual?

very nice car.... but why not get an M3 instead of all those mods?

multispokes suit it best btw

Right now it is sitting on the track tires mounted in the 14 spoke rims. I got a set of classic 5 spoke wheels for xmas and am saving for tires for them for spring.

My dad has a 328i so I do have some experience with both. His is completely stock though, so obviously mine is faster. In 95 and up they needed the extra displacement to make the same power as the old engine because of the OBD2 emissions equipment, which is more restrictive.

Right now this car is an automatic. I cant stand it to tell you the truth. I will either sell the car to buy an M3 or swap a 5 speed in later this year.

I got this car handed down to me when I was 15 so I try not to complain. I have been test driving M3s the last few months, and I deffinitely know I need one. Maybe at the end of the summer I can save for a down payment.

Man you change wheels like underware!!!!

Really tidy looking beemer there, i like it a lot, i bet it sounds good through that intake and exhaust, always loved that 6.
IMO the M5 wheels look the best, out of those 3, but they do look a little strange on a 3 series.

The best wheels on the E36 IMO:

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to JW !!

That's a pretty sweet bimmer. you obviously take pretty good care of it. IMO, the wheels in the first two pics look the best - very classy.

findleybeast · 02-22-2005, 02:18 AM

very slick bimmer I like it. Shame about it being auto, but other than that its sweet. Love it in black, and the mods are admirable. I agree w/ ikon too, the rims in the first 2 pics are the best.

Welcome to JW, and btw good job getting the custom shot up on the first try

stradale · 02-22-2005, 07:44 AM

Welcome aboard and thanks for posting! I like your car very much. The wheels in the last pictures are perfect IMO.

Nice photography skills as well!
