<![CDATA[My e36]]>This is my e36 I've had it for a total of 4 years now it had 176xxx miles when I got it it now has 186xxx miles. I have just about completely overhauled it. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into making this car mine and still work to be done. When I got the car it was a pile of crap but I needed a car bad at the time found this one for $1000 it ran and drove that's all I needed it to do,so I bought it and started looking at things on it. It needed rear shock mounts,clutch,thermostat,driveshaft they drove it with a Guibo that had barely anything left to it, carrier bearing, tie rods,battery, iacv, the list goes on and on you name it it was probly bad. I had a parts 318is that after I got it I swapped out a lot of parts that I could use to make it more reliable. Since I've had the car I have done:new shock, tierods, bushings in front, h&r springs, painted it, complete rebuild of the motor, took the trans apart and cleaned/inspected it, turbocharged it, there is so much. The picture below is the car what it looks like right now aside from being lowered I have a ton of pictures of it, I just have to load them to photo bucket so I can post them it may take a while to do so keep checking back I'll put captions on the pictures when posted.

Let me know what you think!

I love that blue, it looks even better in person. I take it that broken spring was the cause of the tapping noise?

Yes the tapping is gone now i had to replace the pilot bearing also seeing as i could not find half of it.
