BMW E36 Blog

It seems that I have a weakness towards head units that will look and act great inside a BMW E36. I’m sure that by now, every BMW E36 owner here knows that if you don’t like the original BMW head unit or you just need a little bit more options inside your head unit, that you will have to sacrifice the look of the car to get these options. In my "quest" to find the best head unit for the BMW E36, I wrote about the Bluetooth Ready Headunits For Your BMW and the Bluetooth Ready Headunits For Your BMW . . . Revisited! which were very good choices indeed. The problem with all these great head units was that they will not fit into your dashboard 100%. It will always look a little bit different than its surroundings.

Today, I’ve found a new head unit which is the Blaupunkt Bahamas MP46. This unit is great and will blend nicely inside your BMW E36. Take a look at these photos of the head unit:

Now for the best part. This head unit can be set to illuminate amber which will match your BMW dash 100%. I saw a picture of this head unit with the Amber color somewhere, but now, I can’t find it. Sorry about this guys, if you saw that photo, you would know what I’m talking about.

I’ve found a test that’s conducted by AutoCar Magazine between the BMW M3, Porsche 911 GT3 and the new Nissan GTR. I have to admit that I didn’t like the review and I think it’s unfair to conclude that a specific car is "better" than the rest based only on the opinion of the reviewer alone. Add to this that you get a feeling that this whole review was designed just to reach to the conclusion that the Nissan is the best of the three. I totally disagree with that. I don’t know about you guys. Please take a look at it and let me know what you all think.

I was really excited to find out that there are xenon lights that can be used to change the yellow interior lighting for your BMW E36. I’m sure that many BMW owners don’t think the yellow look that great on E36 interior especially if you have a black or other dark  interior leather.

In almost all cases white will look better for your car’s interior, but what if you could get the xenon bright white? It would look even better inside your car. take a look at the photo below:-

The Xenon Interior Lights Kit can be bought from Umnitza for a very good price $34.99 and it has 16 bulbs that can be used to replace the bulbs in:

1. Dome lights.
2. Reading Light.
3. Rear Pillars.
4. Both in License Plate.
5. The Trunk.
6. Glove Compartment.
7. Both lights that come on when the mirrors are opened.
8. Foot well if you have one.

I hope you like this kit. This is the first time I hear about it 🙂

Dear All,

I feel like I need to apologize for being a little bit slow on doing more posts on the BMW E36 Blog. It’s just that I’ve discovered a website that is steeling my blog’s content and placing it on another domain. It’s not steeling my website content only, but it’s also steeling other websites’ content like the www.bmwblog.com as well. This type of spamming is called “splogging” and it’s widely used by some lazy bastards who are looking for getting websites up and running without even spending a minute each day.

I’ve been hit by splogging before from a website on blogger.com, but luckily Google is taking these issues really serious and they’ve closed the website as soon as I reported the problem.

The Hostgator company, which I thought that it was a respected hosting company, seems to be really ignorant about spamming and they don’t take their business seriously. This not the type of angry posts that is trying to accuse a company with a problem that it doesn’t have. It’s just that I was expecting a better response from this company.

I’ve reported the domain to their abuse department on last Monday thinking that I will be seeing that domain suspended in the next day. Well, guess what? I didn’t hear anything from them for 2 days and the domain is still up and running at full capacity. So, I decided to send them another email. This time, I sent it to their support, security and abuse departments altogether thinking that I may get a response.

Today, I’ve received an automated response that is asking me to file a complaint via fax to them in order to prepare a law suite. Can you believe this? For 5 days, I couldn’t get a real person to just take a look at the website and see if it’s really violating any law or not. They just send you a stupid message asking you to fax them information without even sending a warning to the domain owner.

The funny thing about this is that normally such websites appear all the time and as far as I know some companies take these issues really serious and they will suspend the domain until the law violation act is stopped. I recall a company called Globat and this company suspended a domain in 1 day for spamming. This is the kind of reaction that I was expecting from Hostgator, but unfortunately, they don’t have time to enforce copyright laws.

So, I think I should give this advice to spammers. If you’re looking for a good company to grow an empire of copyright violating websites, they’ve made it simple for you, just use Hostgator. You will start your business steeling other websites content and even if you were reported, you will not be suspended. This is definitely what you’ve been looking for.

Note: I didn’t include a link to that website in order to avoid giving it more weight than it really deserves.
