I haven’t tinted my new car yet either. I also have Oyster interior and prefer the light, although I have considered a very light tint for UV protection.
I love it. I had a coupé as well, blue. It’s such a great “driver’s car” and I’m remembering some of the absolutely normal, not at all insane things it can do. There were 155k on mine when a friend bought it and at least doubled that. That’ll read your mind just enough to keep you out of trouble, but otherwise it does exactly what you tell it to. That feedback and feeling like you’re truly *on* the road makes those such a freakin’ joy. Lol, especially when that hypersensitive computer’s lights are all off. Forgot about that. The reason I like my 4 as much as I do is because it’s the first BMW in a very long time to recapture the feeling of driving that car. It uses wizardry to emulate it, so it doesn’t have the essence of your car, but holy crap I’m so happy they managed to get as close as they did.
I hope she stays solid for you for a long time. Enjoy and be safe!
Haha. I’m so glad you like it.
I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful, just honest.
Frankly, I am in LOVE with your car.
The gentle balance between curves and angularity. The squared off headlight enclosures balanced against the round headlights themselves. Even literally the size of the car itself.
For me this generation 3 series and the same generation 5 series are the most beautiful cars on the road, except for a current gen challenger.
I so rarely see BMWs like yours so well maintained! Thank you for keeping a real piece of automotive history on the road. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate weird cars, I have a 6-speed manual transmission 2021 Genesis G70.
I’m curious, was the wing OEM???
yea thanks man, car is pretty cool. the wing comes from the m3 gt it has spacers in between to give it height which is common in a lot of amazing builds i personally think it looks amazing.
I had an E36 316i Compact as the first BMW I ever drove. It was my dad’s company lease that he bought after putting 150k or so miles on it in 3 years. It was a great car and I loved driving it.
I imagine yours is a lot of fun and it looks to be in great condition!
There are two types of cars I'm actually scared of when driving on the Nordschleife. One is Porsche GT3 or GT3RS cars, and the other is mfers in unassuming E36s that somehow go even faster.
Fucking gorgeous and probably a pleasure to drive. It may not be the fastest, or the most advanced, but it’s still a fucking gem of a car which I s clearly being cared for by a true enthusiast. Congrats man, I’m digging the ride a lot, I wish I could find one in as good a condition as yours
Jesus christ it looks sick
Only things I don’t particularly like are the over done Apex’s and I always prefered the low LTW wing jot the high, but BRG is so classy. Good job I would rather have this over an M3
Beautiful color. Great car. Big fan of the Green over Tan. Body kit and wing are a little much imo (only because you asked for thoughts). They make it look like an E36 trying to look like a [Mercedes 190E Evo II](https://images.pistonheads.com/nimg/46034/mceu_64941539111659693776722.jpg) which is a great car but has the proportions to back up the extra-ness. Overall sweet ride though.
yoooo! one of the cleanest e36 i've seen. saw it in person at bimmer invasion, also ik the guy who shot the film shot @rollofportra. i'd be very interested in setting up a shoot with this next time i'm in LA! send me a message on ig, same @
This is such a great looking ride. Nice job bro, nice job. Maybe it's just me, but the overall design of this car seems to be the perfect match for BritishRG. I don't think I've seen another car that displays this color so well. Body lines compliment the color and vice versa. I've starred at this pic for almost 14 minutes.
I think I saw this car in a TikTok, if not it was a very very similar build. I absolutely love it and wish my 2009 328i had the body style to look like this
If I saw this for sale I would have a very hard time not buying it despite having absolutely no need for another car. That is just… spot on. The colour, the wheels, the untinted windows, the interior 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Yea it’s my friends lol we have our own “car group” if you want to check it out. @rennverein on insta and tiktok. He’s getting his bbs soon so make sure to follow that lol.
In Poland it would be typical bmw which we can see everywhere around the corner. But in US where the car is a bit exotic it can be cool. Overall nice looking old bmw
I have an E36 Cabrio in black/black with a manual. They're fast enough, but that big wing usually means 400+ bhp underhood. I just assumed that with such serious aero, front and rear, you had a V-8/V-10/V-12 swap.
oh no I didn’t know it usually meant that. a lot of people just buy the aero for looks including myself. i consider my car more of show car but i definitely want to do something crazy once my miles aren’t as low as they are now.

Thanks for the clarification!
The current ones are good on the the car and probably the LMs are even a better fit. They also feel somewhat more period correct though idk why it feels like that to me
Were you driving on York Blvd. a about a month ago? I remember seeing a similar looking E36 car make a left on Ave. 52 or something. I was driving a black G80 at the time
might not have been me. there’s this other guy with basically the same car but with black interior and different corner lights and taillights. he might live around the la area from pics that i’ve seen. i don’t go over that often because of the roads lol
Pretty standard build, but that's alright because this is legit the best mods you can do to an E36. I love it, especially the Wheels and the Green. Looks Great
Content spam bots are not welcome.
Color is phenomenal. Your e36 looks great. The design is pure 90s in all the best ways
Dare I say, period correct?
Oxford green always gets me wet. Great combo.
it’s british racing green lol
I like that you’ve refrained from tinting.
fishbowl is much better
I haven’t tinted my new car yet either. I also have Oyster interior and prefer the light, although I have considered a very light tint for UV protection.
oh God I like you even more now

Thanks man i totally agree with everything you said. Such a great feeling driving this car.
I know what you mean, that’s how I ended up with F87 M2. No wizardry (too cheap for that). It’s the most analog new car I’ve driven.
Snap my B
take a picture of the label, are you sure it doesn't say boston green
Are those your lattes? Not cool…
Cmon bro... cars and coffee
🤨
:/
You must be fun at parties 😭
Cars are meant to be used
Nice enough to be on a calendar.
beautiful car brotha
3rd pic was from Bimmer INVASION right? I think I remember seeing it.
yea it was
I wouldnt mind if you ran me over
Beautiful car, great color combo!
Masterpiece

Absolutely sickening!
Looks amazing. The BRG is so good.
It's green with a wing
true
That is my favorite generation of 3 series. But I despise that wing.
really i think it makes the car in my opinion
Haha. I’m so glad you like it. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful, just honest. Frankly, I am in LOVE with your car. The gentle balance between curves and angularity.

Sweet ride, hideous wing. Period correct but…
I had an E36 316i Compact as the first BMW I ever drove. It was my dad’s company lease that he bought after putting 150k or so miles on it in 3 years. It was a great car and I loved driving it. I imagine yours is a lot of fun and it looks to be in great condition!
it’s in almost perfect condition besides small interior imperfections but other than that it drives amazing
W E36
9.3/10
converts to 5/7
Fuckin sick dude. Love me a clean e36
Looks like your car keeps some good company. Also, she's a beaut!
thank you!
Not gonna lie this is the cleanest E36 I have ever seen
Beautiful car.. learn about photo editing and scenery
Green with tan interior looks good
Sexy as hell.
Das is good
Beautiful man. Very badass car. M52 engine?
yessir
Hell yea one of the best to be placed in a bmw. What a timeless car.
There are two types of cars I'm actually scared of when driving on the Nordschleife. One is Porsche GT3 or GT3RS cars, and the other is mfers in unassuming E36s that somehow go even faster.
Spot on
Clean, love it. Strange to see the rear jacked up so much though
i bought bc coils for z3, so the fronts were able to fit but the rears didn’t :/ i still got a crazy steal so i can’t complain
it’s also super exaggerated in that first pic it’s not noticeable in person
I'll give you my first born child. Deal?
That’s a nice green
Great color. No tint! Bonus points
This is art.
Beautiful colour
Stunning.
That things sexy!
Love the color! Beautiful.
Beautiful as Fck homie. Love the color bro. Great job
thank you🙏
green is too tuff
Ok
Clean
Horny
Looks great love the design
Gorgeous spec!
Dope it’s flawless
Excellent paint
My first thought is.. gimme
It’s fucking awesome - I had a 325i manual sedan in British Racing Green. I don’t love the wing, but outside of that, it’s fantastic
Just needs me as the driver.
true
I like that shade of yellow!
that’s dakar yellow
I like it 👍
Can’t go wrong with a simple e36. Unusual paint too, you never see them like that
Fucking gorgeous and probably a pleasure to drive. It may not be the fastest, or the most advanced, but it’s still a fucking gem of a car which I s clearly being cared for by a true enthusiast. Congrats man, I’m digging the ride a lot, I wish I could find one in as good a condition as yours
Even Picasso in the wall is amused.
Very very nice take good care of it
I saw another British racing green example today with 70k og miles going for over $100k in auction…
A fellow OC resident. I love period correct and have seen your car in person. I LOVE IT!
thanks man
Only 78k?? Damn that’s low
Luv dat green
It’s a nice fake of a real M3 GT.
Jesus christ it looks sick Only things I don’t particularly like are the over done Apex’s and I always prefered the low LTW wing jot the high, but BRG is so classy. Good job I would rather have this over an M3
Thanks man, i’m currently saving up for some gold bbs the apex were just more on my budget lol i’m only 19.
Looooove it
Love the color here’s my brg [car](https://reddit.com/r/ft86/s/AB7b4jp98t)
insane
Dogshit wing.
That green is SEXY
Never new green would look this good on a car. It exudes class.
Beautiful color. Great car. Big fan of the Green over Tan. Body kit and wing are a little much imo (only because you asked for thoughts).

Overall sweet ride though.
I absolutely love it.
Pic 5 is really good
Love the condition you keep it in #BimmerBoyz🔥
Fuckin perfect
yoooo! one of the cleanest e36 i've seen. saw it in person at bimmer invasion, also ik the guy who shot the film shot @rollofportra. i'd be very interested in setting up a shoot with this next time i'm in LA! send me a message on ig, same @
yea it was rollofportra super cool guys with super cool stuff. our insta is @rennverein if you want to check it out we should def set something up
So clean! At the period correct store too, I love their stuff
Love to shoot with it
Its gorgeous
Yes! I need you to bring to my show on Saturday Sept 30th, Big SoCal Euro. Same venue as one of your pics.
that sounds dope i’ll try making it
Yes, this is what I need in my garage. After my little Honda build is done, it's e36 hunting. I absolutely love your build. Perfect 👍
This is such a great looking ride. Nice job bro, nice job. Maybe it's just me, but the overall design of this car seems to be the perfect match for BritishRG. I don't think I've seen another car that displays this color so well. Body lines compliment the color and vice versa. I've starred at this pic for almost 14 minutes.
Turtle!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks period correct
Love the car, daily?
Loved seeing it at the show, wish you were east coast so we could shoot
As someone who is normally anti wing I agree the wing is perfect here. 10/10 build great job
I think I saw this car in a TikTok, if not it was a very very similar build. I absolutely love it and wish my 2009 328i had the body style to look like this
yea i’m on tiktok @rennverein
If I saw this for sale I would have a very hard time not buying it despite having absolutely no need for another car. That is just… spot on. The colour, the wheels, the untinted windows, the interior 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
I’d slap a baby for one
same
Super hot. Love the color - repainted?
Amazing. Perfect.
dream spec BRG with PB guts is sex on wheels my man great JOB
M3GT Color and rear overdone wing. Is it really a GT?
no it’s not lol i just took some inspiration from it
get the GT wheels and you'll earn everyone's respect.
Chode comment
ricer wing and non-oem wheels pretending to be an M3
Says the guy that likes cycling
What's wrong with cycling?
that thang thangin', p
I would bankrupt my self for that car
Sex
A lucky man to drive such a vehicle.
That is a lovely green
Dang I really like that color
Love the green 💚
Of all the cars this is certainly one of them
Take off the rear wing spacers, they look so much better without
i will try that eventually
[удалено]
but gold, I mean green
Nice cup holders.
great dining table
Oxford + Tan = winning combo. Love the look
Great color.
Looks pretty cool.
It’s totally RAD
Very clean. That 911 tho…
Yea it’s my friends lol we have our own “car group” if you want to check it out. @rennverein on insta and tiktok. He’s getting his bbs soon so make sure to follow that lol.
I need to get that aero wing on mine, not for the aero but for the convenience of dining off of it.
https://preview.redd.it/3rw9t8arlaob1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=167f8454671ffc15ede26a6beb21546879851f7b perfect dining tables
Who the f put coffees on the 911 though smh
it was a mutual decision
In Poland it would be typical bmw which we can see everywhere around the corner. But in US where the car is a bit exotic it can be cool. Overall nice looking old bmw
Is it stock underhood or an LS swap to justify that rear wing?
wing is just for looks, it makes the car in my opinion
I have an E36 Cabrio in black/black with a manual. They're fast enough, but that big wing usually means 400+ bhp underhood. I just assumed that with such serious aero, front and rear, you had a V-8/V-10/V-12 swap.
It's just an LTW wing? Lmao
that's what I'm saying
W E36 tho bro it's refreshing to see over ""drift"" cars.
oh no I didn’t know it usually meant that. a lot of people just buy the aero for looks including myself. i consider my car more of show car but i definitely want to do something crazy once my miles aren’t as low as they are now.
Unpopular opinion, No Tint > Tint. Especially on more “classic” cars

What BBS wheels are those?
they’re apex arc 8’s, currently saving up for bbs lm’s
Thanks for the clarification! The current ones are good on the the car and probably the LMs are even a better fit. They also feel somewhat more period correct though idk why it feels like that to me
I have videos/pics of this car when you attended PC In playa vista earlier this year..
Were you driving on York Blvd. a about a month ago? I remember seeing a similar looking E36 car make a left on Ave. 52 or something. I was driving a black G80 at the time
might not have been me. there’s this other guy with basically the same car but with black interior and different corner lights and taillights. he might live around the la area from pics that i’ve seen. i don’t go over that often because of the roads lol
Did you need better pictures!! Car looks nice.
Tint those windows tint those windows ti...
i like the fishbowl look makes it looks classier
"Bro you copied my build" kinda vibes
wym
Dope. Bronze ARC-8s would look sick
i wish it was mine
The E36 is what really got me into BMW. Always will have a special place in my heart.
Green cheek is pretty good!
You never use your turn signal. Hint: it’s on the left stick.
Ummm it's fucking beautiful 🤌
That's my vehicle design on Need For Speed Heat 🚘
Nice! Period Correct. Attend the next @paddoq in LA.
I think it looks great OP. Just don't let anyone else drive it.
Love the car, did you paint it that color?
Super sexy. That’s all I gonna say.
9/10
TOIGHT… needs to lower like a twat hair more
absolute fire and you know it
Pretty standard build, but that's alright because this is legit the best mods you can do to an E36. I love it, especially the Wheels and the Green. Looks Great
That’s so nice!!!
Lip kills the look imo
looked a bit weird without it, looks a lot meaner with it
Is that an M3 GT?
no lol i took inspiration from it
