This came home yesterday and I'm excited. It's a '92 318i with a lotta miles. That's really all there is to say about it.
It's going to be a daily beater/wintermobile so no build thread or immediate plans for modifications, although struts might happen in the not-too-distant future.

looks nice. I think the E36 are a classic design.
Be careful on the front struts. The early 92 cars were different than the rest. I can't remember the detail but the length of the shaft and also the shape I think. They are rare and hard to find. I found some on Rock Auto. The other option is to pull a set from the salvage yard to get the top mounts, springs, etc from any later 6 cyl car to open up the option on struts.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind.
Edit: I don't suppose you have a part # for what you found on RockAuto?

Thanks! Seems there is a trend towards light metallic blue cars in my life.
Pm me your email address. I'll dig for photos and docs when I did this 2-3 years ago
