BAZET ur BMW looks great wat model and which year ?? i m very new but i like the look

Zeneger
Old 1990 model...15 years already.

To own BMW, you must in love with it...so what ever ppl said...you'll ignored. Same things applied to console gamers...you'll loyal to PS2 even there's more powerful XBOX.

So first thing is...is you in love with BMW ?
why you love it ?
have you read the history of BMW ?

In my case, why i love BMW is
- the motorsports history ( DTM,BTCC,ALMS)
- the dashboard facing the driver, like a pilot on 4 wheeler
- the 6 potter engine sensation ( redlining to 7k and change gear like there's no tomorrow )
- the balance for cornering( 50-50 weight balance )
- the chassis built quality ( motorsports proven )
- RWD ( the most important )

For E36,I reccomend you to buy this model
1. E36 318iS ( more grunt for 4 potters )
2. E36 325i M ( manual less headache and get a manual for more driving experience )

318iS also selling at 61k back in Johor, so you actually get even better deal.

For 325i you'll got proven M50 6 cylinder engine iron block( the one that can stand with 800hp ) . It's quite hard to find a manual, well auto will do the job. Maintenance.....this one will be the ultimate test for you. Euro is edgeing over USD ,so the price for parts for continental cars will be higher. You'll either choose used parts ( from Hakitrade or else )...or keep with original parts from AB. It's your money...so decide carefully on parts.

After buying the car, prepare to spend at least 5-8k for wear and tear parts like
- clutch
- engine top overhaul/full overhaul
- longshafts
- suspension,bushings,shocks
- air conditioning
- interior refurbishment

For my case, I use my UDM just for motorsports outing , so I don't care much about interior/exterior looks...so I spent my money to suspension,exhaust,engine,quality lubes,deep deish wheels..and off course low profiles tires.

My 3rd car prolly BMW E36 2.5 or a souped A31 Cefiro ...well time will tells

Ermm. keep us updated. I might consider M30 B35 if the budget permits.

M20 -> M30 conversion, how hard is it ?

I heard the long shaft need to be fabricated ?

hi all,i'm jo here from seremban,i've got an e34 525i (m20)myself and i've done some modifications on the engine itself by replacing the existing 525i conrods and crankshaft with an eta model,a super chip which i could not figure out what the make is because it was replaced by the previous owner,remove the centre boxes,replaced the muffler with a sports muffler and now i've encounter a problem at about 5k-6k rpm where the engine starts to run flat which i felt that the fuel is not rich enough for the engine,is it possible to use a m50 injector for the replacement over the m20 ones,now i've asked around on the local mechanics in my neighbourhood and they told me that the m20s and m50s does not match.But i've read on some articles on the web where its possible to do so without any modifications.I'd seriously like to try them on,has anyone in here tried it? do you have any snap shots that i could use for reference?hope to hear from you guys soon.

Many thanks,
jo

Those are original M3 rims. You won't be able to find a new set (original) since the E36 M3 is no longer in production. Unless Auto Bavaria has old stock. There are many replicas available though.

If you insist on original, go to www.bmwclubmalaysia.com and see if anyone wants to let go of theirs!

Go to www.heapjoo.com and check on other BMW rims available.
