[E36] 323i Touring on BBS from Germany...

[Dr.AK]

Hi all,

 

I was invited to join here recently. I love what I found on your forum, you guys have built some awesome cars!

 

My name's Bastien and I'm from Germany - and I'm afraid I don't speak a word of polish at all, I'm translating everything I'm reading on here via google, lol.

 

Anyways, this is my car.

 

A '97 323i Touring in Cosmosschwarz

 

Bought it in November 2009 and it looked loke this:

 

 

 

After some changes it looked like this in 2010:

 

 

 

In 2011 I rebuilt the car after a small accident (slid into a signpole).

Also went back to 17" as 18s couldn't go low enough!

 

 

 

 

Completed in 2012:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Went to the UK for a Stanceworks meet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Dumpd in the Netherlands:

 

 

 

 

And a small mod list:

 

Body & Lighting & echaust:

Full repaint in stock color

M3 bumpers and skirts and mouldings

Rear fenders pulled heavily

Smoked front turnsignals by TYC

Smoked taillights by MHW

AC Schnitzer exhaust

 

Suspension & wheels & brakes:

AP coilovers

M3 E36 3,2 excentric strut bearings up front mounted inversely for more negative camber

M3 E46 strut bearings in the rear

Wiechers strutbrace front

BBS RF 8,5x17 Et13 with 205/40/17 front

BBS RF 9,5x17 Et13 with 225/35/17 rear

Brembo Max brake discs

 

 

I think that was it overall, might have forgotten a few small things...

 

Car is currently in storage, doing a bit of maintenance for 2013. Plans for a S50 swap in 2013/2014...

GOOD JOB

[high-tech]

I jak on teraz wytransluje w guglu "germańca" i "paździochy"

 

OLD SCHOOL w przyjemnym wykonaniu. Błotniki z tyłu szału nie robią, ale całokształt przyjemny. GRUBAS

 

pozdro

[kris82]

Personally, I would change RF to something else, because as guys wrote, they are not making wow effect. Show the interior.

[Arek_Browarek]

Kris.... jak ty pięknie po niemiecku Szprechasz..

[kris82]

Ja, naturlich!

[DAREX]

Chciałem napisać tu jedyne dwa słowa które znam po niemiecku, ale coś mnie trzyma

 

Co do samochodu robi dobre wrażenie, kierunek dobry, ale zmieniłbym to koło na coś ciekawszego

[high-tech]

Koło dobre tylko rotoren w szwarca walnąć i gold śrubken

 

pozdro

[tomash]

Nur Original ist legal! Mit diesem Auto triffst du bei uns genau richtig.

 

Sehr dezenter Touring Auf dem deutschen Syndikat sieht man fast keine mehr

Zeig noch den Innenraum.

[DAREX]

I tablice masz NICE

[asia]

ładne combi! ja bym tu widział czarny grill, nerkę

[Kucharz]

First what I saw is genious plates.

After that I swa a great car, similar as I had. Also black e36 touring.

One thing that I would change are smoked rear lights.

Have You got interior's photos?

[kaper]

I jak on teraz wytransluje w guglu "germańca" i "paździochy"

Good job! This is old school german style.

 

But one think I don't like is rear fenders!

Show us the interior.

 

Maybe u will think about new rims?

[kkrzys777]

Fajny turas. A VIN gdzie

[david]

nice car ! I loved it , on style 32's . Of course RF is still cool rim but think about sth like this :

 

and schnitzer mirrors are "must" in your car

 

(both are my ex cars)

[czerwiec]

Hi Bastien!

 

Welcome to our forum, hope you will find it easy to use since you are forced to use google translator for every single word - keep up the good work!

 

Regarding to your car, it really looks great, I'm well impressed with whole transformation your car went thru and I know it must have been a long way to achieve such great results, few guys mentioned that your rims could do with a change for something with a bit more ummmphhh factor but personally I think that they work really well with overall concept of your project!

 

On one of the pics you have a shot taken with Mexican? As his reg plate is highly flashy

 

Great job!

Kuba

[marszal]

super

[MAREK GERMAN]

przemiana niezla wszystko ok ale te blotniki z tylu troche przesadzone !

 

ale i tak typowy "niemiecki" turasek

 

piekny!!

 

pozdrawiam

[--=CZARNY=--]

Jednak ktoś ma jeszcze w Niemczech umiar i smak, auto bardzo fajne znane mi z niemieckiego syndykatu

 

przyciąga wzrok

[Dr.AK]

Thanks for all the comments, I'll do my best to answer them... have to translate with google first, so might net get everything you guys have said.

Thanks, yeah, there's nothing better than black for a BMW, hahah

 

And yes, sadly it's rather rare to see this style here in Germany.

 

 

Personally, I would change RF to something else, because as guys wrote, they are not making wow effect. Show the interior.

 

I love my RFs. But I would like to get a set of RS or AC Schnitzer Type 1 also, so I can change whenever I feel like it, haha

Danke! Ja, mir gefällt euer Style hier auch sehr gut - echt schade, dass sowas hier in Deutschland kaum noch anzutreffen ist. Ich bin mit sowas aufgewachsen, für mich muss ein Auto einfach so aussehen.

I like the chrome kidneys, I think a dark coloured BMW should have them in chrome. On a bright colored one you can make them black, but the kidneys make a BMW look like a BMW - they need to stand out, in my opinion.

 

First what I saw is genious plates.

After that I swa a great car, similar as I had. Also black e36 touring.

One thing that I would change are smoked rear lights.

Have You got interior's photos?

 

Haha, yes I was very lucky with my plates! Also with the plates for my second car, my daily E34 525: It's got BM-WI525

 

Thanks!

 

I love my smoked MHWs, I've wanted a set even before I had my Touring, heh.

 

 

Good job! This is old school german style.

Thanks!

 

Yes, the fenders are a point that's often critized. But I like them and I wanted to car to have full suspension travel even under full compression, so I pulled them as much as I did. I drive the car hard and didn't want any rubbing at all. I could have probably made them look like the stock fenders if I had welded on a bit of material, but I don't mind how they look.

and schnitzer mirrors are "must" in your car

 

(both are my ex cars)

 

Both look great!

 

And yeah, I really would like a set of RS. In the same sizes as my RFs, so I can swap them around! I actually did a photoshop fake:

 

 

And no, I love the boxy stock mirrors, they fit the shape of the Touring perfectly imho.

Thanks! Yeah, the RFs suit the car very well in my opinion.

 

And yeah, that is Mexican! We actually drove back from the meet together, so much fun to see people stare at us on the motorway, haha. There was even a guy with a Gallardo who drove next to us, stared at Mexican, overtook him, stared at me, shook his head in disbelief and drove off, ahahaha

 

 

 

 

Some of you guys wanted some interior pictures:

 

 

 

Planning some changes this year.

 

Sports- or M3-seats, black headliner, and some other stuff.

Hello Dr.AK.

Good to see you and your car here. Hope you'll be able to visit Germanfest 2013 in Tarnów/Poland.

 

RF's fits very good in your car for me. As you've wrote the car needs front seats from E36 M3 /we call them "Vaders" at BMW-Syndykat cause their shape reminds of Lord Vader from the Star Wars, hehe/.

 

Keep up good work and i hope you'll become permanent user of our forum. I'm waiting to see some of your opinions about our cars in the galleries.

 

Take a look here:

Unfortunately both these galleries are closed because the cars have been sold but you can still compare your Touring to them.

 

G r e e t i n g s * m a n * !
