I used to have a BMW E30 with a sound system before I got my BMW E36 318is car. The sound system had a Sony Xplod head unit, Kenwood Speakers, Kenwood subwoofer and Boschmann Amplifier. I really miss that sound system sometimes. It had a magnificent sound with a deep bass that I used to really enjoy. Since I had my new E36, I don’t enjoy my music like I used to simply because I don’t have high quality sound system. I wrote previously about installing Pioneer speakers inside my car without cutting through metal. This gave my audio system a push, but I still don’t like the sound that much. The only logical choice for me was to install a new amplifier and subwoofers to gain the quality I used to have, but since I love my new car and I don’t want to cut through metal, I decided not to get those big subwoofers. I also hate to fill my trunk with a sound box too, so I throw both solutions out of the window. Yesterday, I was looking for some audio upgrades and I’ve found this Audiobahn Enclosures (Subwoofer + Amplifier). Take a look:

These cuties have:
1. Small Space: So, I don’t have to cut through metal anymore and I don’t need to put it in my trunk either. I will just put it on the rear seat which I don’t use that often.
2. Integrated 120Watts Amplifier: Cool!
3. Nice looking box: OK, I hate the chrome a little bit, but what can I say, life is not perfect!
4. The kit costs $157

Take a look at the kit:

It has:
Subwoofer, 120W Amplifier, Bass Control Knob, RCA Inputs. Everything you need to install them!

I think this choice is awesome! You upgrade your audio system with bass and without the headache. I hope you like it, I think it’s brilliant.

I’ve made some changes to the BMWE36BLOG.COM hosting account in order to be able to create a larger number of email addresses. The idea behind this is to be able to provide the readers of this blog with an email address (for instance mike@bmwe36blog.com) in exchange for a little amount of money that you pay on monthly basis. I have prepared two types of emails. One with 50MB quota which costs 10$/mo and another type with 10MB quota for 5$/mo. I know this is not the best offer on the web, but I was hoping to get some of you to register their emails as a way to support this blog. At first, I was expecting to get at least 50 requests for emails since I put the "Support Me" image on the left sidebar, but believe it or not, I didn’t receive any requests until now. I just thought that you might be interested in getting such an email account. Anyway, please feel free to comment about this and whether getting an email from this blog is going to be a cool thing or not.

I’ve seen some videos for a racing game called Gran Turismo 5 and I was shocked to see them. They are really amazing!! I’ve posted before about the Forza Motorsport game and I was really excited about it and about how good the graphics were. Today, I have changed my mind. The new Gran Turismo 5 game which can be played on Sony Playstation 3 is away much better. I didn’t try to play the game yet, but I’m almost sure I will like it. Take a look at this video. It’s the official trailer for the game.

Enjoy.

And this is a video for a BMW 135i inside the Gran Turismo 5 game (Yes BMW has new series called 1-series in case you don’t know) . It looks great and almost real to me. Pay attention to the driver, it made me laugh sometimes when taking shortcuts to win the game. LOL!

What do you think of this game? Have you tried it before?

I’ve found these photos for a red BMW E36 and I thought I should share them with you. I like the car in general, but if this car was mine, I would’ve made some changes to make it red-hot, instead of just red.

First take a look at the photos and then read what I would change to make this car look awesome

Alright, I will begin. This car needs:-

1. AC Schnitzer Rims (17-Inch): The 15-Inch rims look terrible on this car. I would change these immediately.
2. Umnitza BMW E36 ZKW Headlights: This will add a unique & modern look to the car and will enhance the lighting as well.
3. Seibon BMW E36 Carbon Hood: This should give the car an aggressive look. It will look awesome.
4. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Front Spoiler: AC Schnitzer body kit will give the car the racing look.
5. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Rear Spoiler: AC Schnitzer body kit will give the car the racing look.
6. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Left Mirror: Racing mirrors will make the car look great. They’ll boost the performance as well (not sure about the second one LOL! 😆 )
7. AC Schnitzer BMW E36 Right Mirror: You can’t get one mirror for the car, can you?

What do you think? Did I miss anything?

This is a video about the BMW M3 history. It’s really nice to learn about the BMW M3 cars and how they’ve reached to this great shape and performance. I’m sorry about the video itself, it seems a little bit old, but the information provided is excellent. One thing I want you to pay attention to is the BMW E36 M3. It was doing a really sweet drifting and when that was combined with a good film shooting effect, the result was really great! This proves that the BMW E36 has the drifting and burnouts in their blood 😉 , I guess it’s a natural talent.

Enjoy.
