1998 BMW 328is: Then to Now

[iDankyHD]

Just and estimate of how much this cost you? oh nd how much should i spend on this car all stock? please help kuz i reallly want one of these..

[skyninjakiller]

we have that car

[jsk8drummer]

nice i just got one as my first car but its auto :(

[paidsk8er23]

So a M3 bumper can fit on a regular 328i?(4dr)

[kmoney9999]

Car looks way different now.

M3 front bumper

Refinished/mounted the Style 5's (gold center), broke them apart again

I'm putting E38 staggered M-Pars on this week

M50 intake manifold

Supersprint catback (headers and Active Autowerke trackpipe waiting to go in)

3.15 LSD

Active Autowerke software

BMW Motorsport International trim about to go on

That's all I can think of now. It's a summer car now that I've got a 93' 325is for winter use!

[choachi2]

@kmoney9999 How much for the M3 bumper and wing on the back?

[AquAcid]

you paid 9300 3 years ago stock wtf it better have 30 000 miles on it

[dropdeadcoby]

thats exactly wut i want im almost 16 i want a 2000 bmw m3 or 325i

[iflifedied]

was e36 M3. yours loos sweeter than mine mines a 97 328is. CUPHOLDERS SUCK THOUGH!!

[iflifedied]

Nice ride dude!!! I got the e36 328is too there fucking sick!!! somehow I beat an M3 two nights ago twice!!! BOSS!!!

[koryan]

very nice think i will get one. is it 4cyl or 6cyl? i want 6cyl because 4 is fuking gutless.

[pipthemakem]

nice car , and tastefully moded aswell

[VincentSinclair]

you should get an M3 front bumper, thats the best thing you could do to that car, it makes it look 100% better !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a 97 328is with m3 front bumper,. i am the shit

[allthiseverything]

those rims are horrible

[quickcooper61]

Nice little project in the making bro. Now you just need to get your hands on the M3 f/r bumpers and side skirts, chip the engine and lighten the exhaust restriction and you have yourself sick DD :D

[merlinmago07]

@quickcooper61 what do you mean by lighten the exhaust restriction??? I also have a 97 328is I already have an M3 rear spoiler, rear bumper+front bumper too with front bumper lip! it looks cool, it's Alpine white with no tint at all(My Choise)...but and I'm looking to do something with the exhaust.

[quickcooper61]

@merlinmago07 Depending on what state you live in and wether you want sound over performance or performance over sound there are a few things you can do. If you live in a state like south dekota then you can do practically anything you want to you exhaust... In that case if you don't mind how loud your car is and you want the highest performance gain than get a straight through exhaust with a small muffler I believe that UUC motorworks sells them I'm not sure

[merlinmago07]

@quickcooper61 I live in Costa Rica. The straight pipe I understand, but does the brand/kind of exhaust matters??? Is it a noticeble enough to get an expensive exhaust to a non expensive one??? Small Mufler??? what do you mean by that?

[rollsroyce0824]

yoo the stock rims u had were much better. i have the same ones on my 96 conv

[czek123]

that was pointless

[efeick2002]

those 18" rims dont look that good, well thet do, i think there just too big, id get black rims with silver around

[KevinD2687]

this car is fuckin pimp, even if its not fast. who cares about speed? ill take a used 325i and make it look like an m3- for 10,000 less

[BimmerDude3]

Anyone who likes to go fast cars about the speed. Anyone who slaps a M3 badge on a non M is tool. It can look like an M but it wont be a M. And now adays m3's of this year go for less than 10 gran man.

[SirFightsalot]

yeh and its still fast enough.

[MMprotopaintball20]

hey dude do u live in duluth

[topguy22]

nice project! good luck with future mods ;)

[Br33zE718]

nice car man i own a 96 328i..proud owner

[osofresh999]

dope car bro!

[kmoney9999]

Thanks, it's funny because it's so much different now from a year ago when I made this.

[SirFightsalot]

yo did u top the car? where is it limited at.

[SairaProductions]

You need an M3 Front Bumper, looks much better.

[kmoney9999]

I've got one now, actually

[seaofcodeine]

holy fuck if someone hit my bmw id be right pissed

[SEVlad]

The spoiler and rims make it look ugly... No spoiler, better and a bit smaller rims, tinted windows and it will be sexy peach!

[kmoney9999]

17" Style 5's are going on before the end of July...I just have to refinish them first!

[Branden1119]

@SEVlad the spoiler looks good and the rims arent that big i think it looks great but yea smaller rims will look good it might make it lower, theres nothing like a nice ass beemer lowered very nice car man

[terronkeem]

i just have a permitt and i just bout a 328i tonight

[apmirkin]

congrats!!

The car and gear box and engine love being upgraded to 400BHP!

[hohktkd]

I hope to do this with my e36 m-sport sedan one day. It has the 18" M3 mags, the motor-sport body kit, both of these items I love and don't plan on changing. But I am planning to lower it, get the black grills, black angel eye head lights, tint the windows and perhaps a sound system. Should be very niiiice ^_^ !

[moneyonmymindd]

that is awesome. nice e36. best of all 3 series.

[apmirkin]

hell yeah especially the euro spec one with 321bhp!

[stoomskie]

im straight up buying a 328is now lol

[TheJumper01]

Nice, and you bought it yourself too, I'm trying to buy the same exact one!

[750Jord]

Nice 328

[wasbored228]

Im 16 and i have a 2000 black on black bmw 328i with 19" chrome rims.

[jonathanj1j2]

oh wow, another spoiled child.

lol, no one cares...

[jonathanj1j2]

my comment is to wasbored228

[Fishdude404]

lol. Chromes, 19", and E46 328. Nuff said, you're slower than this E36. =) How does it feel?

[SPSOFGR]

bmw 328is is the best car...........

[unikkatilFORlife]

yup!

i have one and im only 15!

[otmlb1128]

when you say something like that people don't like you. don't be a jerk.

[unikkatilFORlife]

wtf is ur problem? jealous?

[otmlb1128]

i'm not going to lie and tell you i wouldn't want one, but you wouldn't seem like as much of a jerk if you didn't rub it in everybody else's faces that can't afford one. it would be okay if you just said "i have one too and i like it" or something. but saying i have one and i'm only 15 is bragging.

[dkelly61]

i agree with otmlb1128. unikk is trying to be "cool" by saying he has one, i bet he also got a bitch automatic

[pawncakes]

Jealous that I'm not even able to drive a car yet? Nope.

[stoomskie]

lol you cant even drive and you have a car?

[unikkatilFORlife]

well i can drive its just that i dont have my license...yet.

im getting my Permitt in a couple of months though..

[innaapeshkova]

i recomend getting a m3 bumper and m3 tailights

nice rims though

[magnumphase]

badass dude! My car is exactly like yours, I have a 1998 black on black 5 speed. I would recommend getting angel eyes with 6500k xenons from umnitza and also an M3 differential and intake to make it really fly. Also don't wreck it driving drunk like I did!

[kmoney9999]

Sweet (minus the crashing part). I was considering getting AE's, but decided just to get the standard elipsoids with halogen bulbs. Although your setup is way cooler! I also bought from Umnitza.

I have the 3.15 diff from a 95' M3 installed, as well as an M50 intake manifold waiting to be installed.

[Turkoglu67]

I have the same car. 1996 is. we replaced the air filter with an air intake, it is freaking ballin. 15 extra horse powers, and better gas mileage... cheer.

[ff9zidane199]

lol $800 for some small dent damage thats fucking messed up man

[garrapata8008]

lol ....whats the music ??

[kmoney9999]

Cake - Going the Distance

Apparently Kinkajou01 doesn't like it. Don't burn a cd with that song on it for him, he won't like it.

[garrapata8008]

thx dude...i hace the same car even the same 17 inch bmw allow rims .. but mine is the 4 door version ..... hail bmw !!

[slappytheclown123393]

siiick dude, this gives me hope for mine..

great car, love it.

[kmoney9999]

Haha thanks! E36's are so easy to modify it's nuts. Theres a reason they're so popular!

FWIW, my car has changed a lot since then:

Black 17" wheels w/ polished lip, smoked Euro tails, X-Brace, Depo halogen Elipsoid Projectors, 3.15 LSD, M3 drive shaft. I'm waiting on M3 axles so I can drive it lol.

I also got a 2008 Z4 3.0si Roadster 6MT recently which isn't too shabby. But my E36 is my most beloved posession, which is something the Z4 could never be lol

[vtecboi18]

nice e36 what mods do u have did u stick with the 328is engine

[kmoney9999]

In total? Dinan Cold Air Intake (Carbon Fiber, modified) Depo Gen4 Euopean elipsoid projectors w/ 55watt halogen highs/lows/fogs 35% tint all aorund Smoked Euro corners/side markers/taillights Arched M3 spoiler 17" M68 black w/ polished lip on Continental ContiSport2's (225/40 all around) -Summer Wheels- M3 catback Black/white Roundels H&R Race Springs Bilstein Sport shocks X-Brace 3.15 Limited Slip Differential (aka Posi) from a 95 M3 M3 drive shaft Yeah, stock engine though.

[erciyesli]

[Kinkajou01]

I'm a "gay ass fucker" because I don't like the band Cake? Okay, pull your extremely small genitals outta your asian man friend for a moment and get a life...

[Kinkajou01]

gay song, very gay. take off the dumb song, at it'll be better than 2 stars.

[kmoney9999]

The song wasn't my first choice either...
