I am Newbie & in love with E3 1991

Post by stevenwilliams85 » Thu Oct 30, 2014 10:52 am

Hi all I am newbie greetings to the members from London ;)  !

I bought my BMW  e36 2000  8) three years ago while I was abroad to Jordan with 143K miles and I have 205K on it now. I have replaced the driveshaft once and the heater core. I recently did the exhaust, which was very expensive about $1300 for the cat back. I am handy with cars and do most of my own work. I prefer to repair it by myself because it my dearest thing I have ever had. ! What a fantastic car!  >:D  and I also would like to own E91 1998 and BMW E92 2008 Coupé

Any thoughts or advises how upgrade in order to get the best performance from the gearbox ?!  O:-)

Given that the forum is titled 'Xdrivers' there is a clue in the name.  Pretty much everyone drives an X1, X3, X4, X5 or X6 - none of which use the same two wheel drive system you have, or even the same gearbox.

If anyone on here does have (or has had an E36) and can help, they will.
