Love the E36 interior. 296. 27 comments. pengouin85 Dakar Yellow 95 M3 • 2 yr. ago. Plain, and efficient. I like it too. The previous owner had an alcantara E46 M3 wheel in here, and I definitely prefer this thinner, leather wrapped wheel instead. It’s identical to the sport package wheel that came in my E46 sedan except without the buttons. Take for example this unit that we were looking at, a 1996 model 328i E36. True car enthusiasts will need a few boxes ticked when looking for a sports sedan. First box to tick is a manual gearbox. Second box to tick is the 6-cylinder engine. Third box to tick is a normal aspirated engine and final box will be, it must be rear wheel drive. This E30 awd cars are some of the best the 1980s had to offer. They use viscous clutch center and rear differentials. Normal driving was bias to the rear. They are just as reliable and unreliable as any other e30 component/system. That being said, you have to drive them like an 80s awd with a lot of steering input. The next two vehicles to be launched, the 2023 VinFast VF 8 two-row midsize SUV (formerly known as the VF e35) and the three-row 2023 VinFast VF 9 (formerly the VF e36) ride on a new platform From what I've gathered so far, E36 oil should have the LL-98/LL-01 approval, pass A3/SL regulations (or higher) and have the proper viscosity for your area. High viscosity index (VI), 170 and up, is also recommended, as well as around 13 mm²/s viscosity at 100°C, low evaporation loss (NOACK<=10%), high flash point and low pour point in terms They're 30 year old cars now, eventually something will break. So if that means going with a 316i/318i cause their cheaper rather than a 318is then so be it. You can always sell and buy something better in the future. As far as if its a good first car, in my opinion yeahh it is, just be careful in the rain if you're not experienced with rwd cars. 20 Incredible: Jsutai E30 M3. via Jsutai. A classic car has the ability to stand the test of time, as well as grab the attention of both old and young enthusiasts. The standard E30 M3, with its boxed arches, looks just as good today as it did back in the 80s; this one just takes it to the next level. I finally answer all of your questions! How "stock" really is my E36? What E36 should you look for to drift? A little throwback to where this car started and E28s are good cars but a 32 year old car is going to inherently have more issues just due to its age. Go for an e30 or an e36 instead My first car was a $1000 1 Photos. A numerically higher differential has often been referred to as the poor man's supercharger. In the case of E36 M3s with stock gearing (3.15 for 1995 models and 3.23 for 1996-on and M3 Z8Ivb.
