Hi Guys,

If you already have a BMW E36 and I’m sure you all do, then what can you do to add more pleasure to your life? I’m sure you asked yourself this question before. The answer is simple, you get a bike 😈 . It’s loud, fast and great looking. Just like a BMW E36! Unfortunately, I’m still unable to get one myself but I hope I will be able to do that in the future. Take a look at these great bikes, I absolutely love each one of them. Do you already have one? Let’s see it?

Underworld Evolution is a cool movie about vampires. I know the subject has been beaten to death, but there are only two movies that I liked which talk about this and I found them very exciting. Blade for Wisely Snipes and Underworld Evolution for Kate Beckinsale. If you didn’t see these movies I suggest you do. They’re awesome and I’m sure you’re going to like them. Take a look at this part of the Underworld Evolution II. It’s really good.

Hi Guys,

I presented some Great BMW E36 Internal Lights photos in a post couple days ago. One of the things that I didn’t even know they existed in BMW E36 cars is the Harmon Kardon audio system. The cars with this optional audio system has a switch that is labeled "HIFI". In that post, I asked you about this switch and if anyone has it, so I got a reply from Seth and he was so kind to provide extra information about this option. You can read the description in his words below:

First off, it has 10 speakers (supposedly) although I have only seen 8 discussed in the forum I belong to. Maybe I was wrong about the subwoofer, because no one had mentioned it. It sure sounds like there’s one, though! (Tony: Valery, can you help?) The only major difference I remember from my first M3 without the upgrade, is the speakers in the front kick panels (granted it’s been 2 and a half years since that car, but I don’t remember any speakers down there), the HIFI switch that turns on an amplifier located in the left side of the trunk, next to the shock tower, and the different speakers with Harmon Kardon (HK) on the speaker shield.

The biggest problem with them is that the mid-range speakers in the front doors are prone to self-destruction at relatively low volume levels. The largest contributing factor is the automatic volume adjustment as the car gains speed (Tony: Wow! that’s a cool feature, isn’t it?). I blew my own that way! Adjust the volume level in the driveway, make it onto the freeway, and KA-POP!

BTW, if you have that annoying feature, I just learned how to fix it while I was researching the Harmon Kardon (HK) stereo. First, you start with the stereo off. Turn it on, and hold the "m" button for approx. 10 sec. The serial # of the radio should appear on the screen. Once it does, use the + and – buttons until you see GAL 1-6 . Then use the < and > buttons to adjust it up or down. 1 is the lowest change, and 6 vice versa. I believe that should also work on British BMW’s as well, even though it was explained for an American M3.

These are some photos of the Harmon Kardon audio system:

What the hell is this?!! It’s funny I have to give them that, but how he’s doing it with a BMW E36? Damn!
