Hi Guys,

I’ve found some photos of carbon fiber hoods that fit perfectly in the BMW E36 cars. So, I thought I should share this with you and see if you like it or not? I think the carbon fiber hoods will look great on black BMW E36 cars, and maybe white cars too, but I’m not sure about the rest especially if they’re not painted. For painted ones, I didn’t see any examples yet to judge, but I think it will look cool too. Pay special attention to the vents. They would look awesome with some side air vents. What do you think?

Take a look at the photos and let’s hear your opinions…

Hi Guys,

Willy Moore, a reader of this blog, has sent me some photos of his 318is. The car looks amazing and I have to admit it’s one of the best looking E36’s I’ve seen. However, I thought of some changes that may enhance the look of the car and I’ve already sent these to Willy. My notes about his car are:

1. The 318is sign: I think this should be removed as it will make the car look better. Besides, you don’t need to tell ppl what engine you have under the hood 😈

2. The rear led lights: well, we’ve disagreed, Willy and I about this, but I think that these do NOT fit in his E36 perfectly. So, I suggested that he should remove them, and he argued that they look awesome at night. I agree that led rear lights look great at night, but they don’t look that good in daylight (at least on his car). Anyway, of course it’s his car and he can do whatever he thinks right.

So, I asked him to publish a post about his car asking you for your opinions and about how you can make this car look even better. So, do you think you can make this car look better? How?

Take a look at the photos first, then let’s hear your opinions…

I’ve found these photos of a BMW E36 painted with 2 colors, Red & Black. So, I thought I should post about it here to get some opinions about how it looks. Of course, the paint job is not complete yet, but what I’m interested in is the way of the 2 color tone. What do you think of that? For me, I guess it would be better if the side skirts were painted in red too and the toning line was moved up a little bit to the trunk level. What do you guys think?

I wrote before about the BMW Auto Folding Mirrors, and I also found a video for BMW Auto Folding Mirrors in action. The problem with that video was that you needed to operate the mirrors manually. This means that whenever you start your car, you will need to press the button to unfold the mirrors and after you turn your engine off, you will need to fold them back. This isn’t cool IMAHO. So, with today’s video, I found that there’s a component that can control the auto folding mirrors and to operate them using the car’s switch. So, when you turn your engine on, the mirrors will automatically unfold and when you turn it off, the mirrors will fold. Cool … don’t you think? I believe this is a very straight forward task and if you have some knowledge you may even be able to create that component yourself 😈

Take a look, I hope you like it.
