My E36 then and now.

I started modding a year ago today. I have had my E36 slightly longer than that but I had done nothing to it. It ran like crap, and was tattered to say the least. I am remembering the great times with a then and now picture.

Then





Now







Its been a fun year and I am looking forward to the next year of modding.

Yes, I have DJ Autos that I got from a forum member prewired with LED angel eyes. I plan on upgrading because they are so dim.

It was cashmere beige original. Stock sticker on strut tower says that. When I had car painted to current color, I had engine bay blacked out, because its much easier to keep looking clean.

nice one but you need also fog lights and in my opinion the color that in ur sig looks great
i like ur wheels they looks great

remark , removing ur door side is not good idea they give some protection to u and car body
