I have found this DIY (Do It Yourself) procedure that will help you to replace your BMW E36 spark plug. I know that you may think this task is very easy. But I think this article has some great information about spark plugs and about the oil that may be leaking inside your engine. So, read it carefully, I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.
Concerning the type of spark plugs that you should use for your E36, I prefer going with the Bosch spark plugs for my BMW, but again it’s up to you to decide which type to use. NGK is another good alternative, but I still prefer Bosch over it.

Although, I know that my headlights are not the best headlights available for BMW E36, but I like them very much. First, because of their rings color (light blue) which fits perfectly on my silver car. Second, because they’re a single unit headlights with a corner. I hate the 2 part headlights. The problem is that my headlights are getting old and they always look dirty even after washing the car. So, I was thinking of replacing them and while I’m looking for some alternatives, I have found some great headlights that I didn’t even know they exist. I prepared a list of them below. Check them out. I’m sure that many of you hate the standard headlights of BMW E36 and are willing to give their cars a new look. I also added a rating for both style and quality for each of these products which is based totally on my taste. Have fun!

For those of you who didn’t read that post yet, please do and let us hear from you. Simply, just fill your information in the comments box at the bottom of that post and you’re done. Very easy isn’t it?
Alright, now for today’s posts which I’m sure most of you know what it is about. For those who are new to this blog, I try to feature a new BMW E36 model every month that I think deserves to be featured here.
Today, our model is a BMW E36 328i 1998. I think it looks really good. I hope you like it and please excuse that broken fog light.
What do you think of this model? lets hear your opinions . . .
