Thank you! I've been very distracted with my other e36 daily the last while. Getting this project going again will be on the cards as soon as I'm done tweaking the daily.

I can only go from experience and to be honest I've had a few coupes and now more recently I've had a couple of saloons. Coupes tick a lot of boxes for me and are great as a project etc but my...

Cheer's Pete. This has been put on the long finger for a little bit as I've sold the last daily, an e36 loon, and bought a new one, another e36 loon, that has required my attention. But I will get...

Installing coilovers is a popular and cheap way to modify both the look and handling of your E36.

I couldn't find a decent DIY when I went to do the job on my own car. I was pointed in the...

The bush removal tool. Designed here in Ireland specifically for this job and as you'll see it is very effective. The circular plate to the right of the picture has a bearing in it's center to...

So here's a quick guide on how to do the trailing arm bushes on an E36 coupe without a lift, heat or power tools. It's a basic enough bit of work but can be a pig of a job without the right gear.

The connections. One for the dimmer, one for the loom and one and the...

This is a nice little mod for the E36 with an easy enough install.

Here's a quick guide on how to install this to the instrument cluster dimmer switch.

The new knob and loom to be installed....

I decided I'd do a DIY guide for a starter swap out for the E36 318is as it's something that gets asked about every now and again. From my own experience I have had a mechanic refuse this job and...

Team manfoot!!!

I also envy your shed!

Ah Pete you found me! :p Yes it's true I've been slow to make a move on this but I'll tip away now and see where we end up.

Regarding parts...

Well I have a few bits gathered up for her but...

I think it's fair to say I could be accused of being a fan of green E36's!

A pic I like of my previous boston green daily before she got "sick".

So in my travels I picked up a facelift nose cone and some black grills. I didn't need the nose cone but it was a package deal :p

So I set about removing these and swapping them onto the car.

Thanks lads.

So one of the smaller issues the car has was with the glove box missing the button and spring to open it.

Reason I ask is Ferns is local to me. Don't know Jason. Interesting...unless he's the guy that lost all his storage, may have sold him an engine before. Any way small world!

Keith....pardon me for asking but where are you based? That petrol station is in Ferns yes?

Time for a new project.

I bought this late last year. A one owner from new genuine low miler. Sadly, there is no service history to go along with her but she did start life just a few minutes...

Glad to see that this is progressing and being kept? I had been watching your thread on back roads with interest and even got to see her out on the road as I passed Dave one day.

Cracker of a...

This will be one to watch for sure! When I tire of E36's I would like one of these. Hopefully still be an odd one around at that stage!

Hello to all!

A few will be familiar with me as I've been around Irish BMW forums for a few years at this stage. I feel newer models are great but being a nuts and bolts guy old school is still...
