ive been watching a lot of his videos and he's the reason i kinda want one, i thought these were horribly unreliable cars with NLA parts like classic jaguars, but these look very serviceable and simple. I gravitate towards buying a car on the cheap end and doing a full rebuild. People will sell a car like this on the verge of falling apart with a "full service history", not worth it if i wasn't going to do it myself. He did pick up his for $4k though, have these really doubled in price since the coof?

I was looking around for e60 m5/e63m6 a couple of months ago, and it seems that typical prices are 25-30k. If they come with serviced bearings and the vanos line, this price goes up by about several thousand, and those with a stick also hold a large premium. Decided this was way too expensive just to get into an old sports car, especially considering expensive failure points other than the drivetrain. They are cool cars though, just far and slow.

Just like the Quran see Moses as prophet or messenger.
But the Quran still see Muhammad above Jesus and Moses, basically Muhammad is the right one because he is the most up to date prophet/messenger of God.

The Quran rejects the concept of the Trinity
It claims that Christians exaggerated in their belief in Jesus and mistakenly attributed divinity to him, while he was only a messenger of Allah(god), I kind of agree with them here, he was a messenger imo. God is omnipresent


Not for noting they are called Abrahamic religion and it's all the same shit.
I wouldn't be surprised if reptilians intervened to cause chaos because, at the end of the day, Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in the same God.

no idea mate its been parked for 10 years at least. cleaned it up its got no oil leaks other than the sump which was smashed so thats decent. got it to crank for a second but no lights or electrics on the dash so somethings fucked there. its had a smack on the front left side too so will need some new panels, grille and some pulling on the radiator support bit. radiator was split and needs a new thermostat housing too. other than that seems like it might start so fingers crossed
i know it will be low on power but should still be a decent car to drive around on weekends

Ok but really why is the E36 market so retarded.
328i coupes with a manual are selling for $15k, at like 140k+ miles

>>28264843
That was always disappointing with my E36. The interior just felt like utter shit in comparison to every other model of 3 and 5 series before and after the E36. How that interior succeeded the E30 and lived alongside the E34 and E39 is a total mystery.

>>28266751
The German government was pressuring them at the time to use sustainable materials in cars for the environment. Basically the entire interior was designed to be 'self-recycling'. Hence all the plastic shit everywhere and the glue that fails. I shit you notthe car was designed to recycle itself in real time. Same thing happened with Mercedes at the era. They made wiring harnesses out of fucking onions beans and they would disintegrate and catch fire and cause all kinds of electrical fuckery.

I'm thinking about picking up an E46 320d Compact for a banger rally car. I've heard that the compacts tend to be pretty rust-free and don't suffer from cracking rear suspension mounts, but that the factory rear springs were prone to breaking. These have the M47, but with swirl flaps. Anything I need to know about with these?

The E36 debuted in 1990. The E39 didn't roll around until 95. They'd walked back the fuckery with the interiors by that point. Later model E36s were an improvement over the earlier cars as well, although still pretty poor. My guess was that BMW either put their foot down with the government or they learned to play by the rules in a way that didn't ruin the cars. Makes sense, they could get away with having crappy interiors in a 3 series but a shitty interior in a 5 series would've seriously damage their reputation.

So did the rules not apply to current models? The facelifted E34 actually improved its interior in 1991.

It makes the E36 a real weird car in their history, especially since even the design language didn't match the previous gens or the next gens. I didn't hate it, but it didn't feel as cosy as the other models.

I'm not really sure, its hard to find information online. I think it might've been aggressive lobbying that lead them to make the changes rather than hard and fast rules, and BMW was just trying to boost their ESG credentials by caving to the pressure. They also developed the E36 as a proof of concept of what could be done in terms of environmental materials. I read somewhere that their goal was for 80% of the interior to be made of sustainable materials or something like that. They might not have bothered to re-engineer an already developed car like the E34 for the same reasons. With the E36 it was one of their goals from the outset. Funnily enough I have the exact same spec interior as picrel in my E34 with the leather upgrade and the two tone brown. It was a special individual package on Japan only cars. Odd that the brochure photo utilises a LHD wheel.

Thanks anon. It came with grey cloth seats but I swapped them out for the black leather, so it has the nice two tone of grey door card inserts and grey carpeting, but black seats and black vinyl. I also love the armrests, I never realized how nice having a car with proper armrests could be.

Not really, he rebuilds quite a lot of shit and falls back on replacement when that fails. He did that with the VANOS unit on a E39 and the ABS system on the E60 M5. I think he also had the audio system for the E66 rebuilt rather than replaced.

e46 are cheap cheap now but 330ci are going up, more than before

E90s are the best value lower down the price range and will bottom out like 30/36/46 did in the past

i have nothing against screens, but one issue i hjave with them is i work infront of a monitor all day, then i sit at pc and use my mobile phone. i want my eyes to rest, i can sometimes feel pain in them. the screens in a car make it all even worse. thats the one huge problem i have with them. especially at night. generally all surroundings including interior and exterior are pitch black and once you need to look at screen its like spear entering your eyes. reducing brightness helps, but then it gets hard to read/see whatever is on screen. fuck man, i like subtle lighted instrument clusters. theyre so much more easy on your vision.

>>28260316
after some time i actually started disliking them, especially with absent M trim exterior and ugly wheels. your pic is prime example. wheels are alright here, but the rest is mediocre. the overall shape of car is nice, but when you analyse different parts of car you notice that its a badly mixed design with blobs,creases, sharp edges. interior is such a let down compared to e39. im not even talking about quality. the single design looks as if it was chopped with an axe. blank huge spaces, the ever so annoying silver trim and even steering wheel is ugly. i find f10 is a much more better car. e60 looks amazing with M pack, but thats about it.

>>28261826
dont be too optimistic. unless youre a millionaire youre never going to make it perfect. buying it cheap doesnt make things easier. youd have to have pretty much full service shop equipment, extensive knowledge and expert DIYer to mitigate expenses, otherwise youre literally flushing money down the toilet. its an endless money pit and im not even joking.

That depends heavily dude. I haven't even seen one with the silver interior for sale, I usually only see wood trim models, typically the really dark wood version.

As far as steering wheels, all of them look really good EXCEPT that early model diamond shaped wheel (pic related), that thing was hideous.

>i find f10 is a much more better car
Definitely not the handling, that's the point where the boat and bloat meme really started. I looked at an F10 quite a while ago and it really felt like they went pretty hard into the landbarge comfort feel rather than making it handle well.

The silver trim was standard for the base package in europe. All e60's in the us that were dealer ordered came standard with the premium package which included some flavor of wood trim. if you special ordered your car you could select the silver trim. My manual donor car was like that since dealers rarely stocked manual e60's, they sold poorly.

Ah that'd be it then, I hear Europe has some really weird base models of BMWs and Mercedes. Someone posted a picture a while ago of an E60 and E39 with cloth seats, I didn't even know either of those had such an option until then.

You could also get half cloth/leather seats in the e60 which actually look fucking great. I really want a set but importing them is extremely cost prohibitive. You could also get full manual seats.

>>28286453
The cloth door trim actually looks really comfy, I'd put that into an E60 for sure. Do cloth seat 7 series exist too?

So what's the best thing BMW currently makes?

Not him but yes, you just press the menu button for 3 seconds and that's how you switch between OEM and the aftermarket system.
AVIN makes those OEM looking units for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW and some other makes too, they look pretty indistinguishable from the original stock units..

Meaning hump for the cluster and hump for the screens? Yeah. You can also select if you want Android Auto or Apple CarPlay or both. I think all the E series BMWs from 1994-2011 are supported.

>>28289132
The only thing I don't like about the android screens for e9x and e6x is that they play audio through the aux port. The sound quality takes a massive dive.

>>28291511
It's what pretty much all of these aftermarket units do for some reason. Another option is Grom or Dension, it integrates into the system by replacing the CD changer and allows bluetooth audio, USB and DAB while retaining the OEM systems (as it uses the original interface for everything).

>>28292421
Making an android pc that integrates with the MOST bus is probably stupidly expensive to R&D.

>>28292521
Most likely. It's a small market and isn't worthwhile, since most people will just never bother with any of it and just listen to the radio/CD player and use their phone for navigation. Even on cars that have all the bluetooth and Android Auto built in, they still use phone holders.
