I have to admit that I never liked the stock BMW E36 (Not the M3) side mirrors. Every time I look at them, I find them a little bit ugly and doesn’t exactly fit my idea of BMW styling. Well, before you ask, I’m not an expert in car design, but it’s my opinion. On the other hand, I absolutely love the M-Tech side mirrors and they look just awesome. The problem is that if your car doesn’t have a body kit, you won’t be able to install these mirrors because they won’t mach the rest of the car.

To solve this problem, I suggest you consider the E30 side mirrors. Yes, you heard right, E30, not E36. If you’re not familiar with the E30 mirrors, they look great and their design is much better than the stock E36 ones. I love their design very much!

Today, I’ve found this photo of a BMW E36 with E30 side mirror. Unfortunately, it’s not clear enough, but it shows that the E30 mirrors will fit the E36 style even better than the stocks ones.

Take a look at this, don’t you agree?

I’m not sure how hard would it be to fit such mirrors in a BMW E36, but at least you know now that someone else did it already. So, it’s possible.

I will try to find a DIY (Do It Yourself) and I hope I will be able to find one to do just that.

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?

I’ve received an email yesterday from one of the BMW E36 Blog readers. His name is Kash (I’m not going to mention the full name because I’m not sure if he wants that). Now Kash has made some modifications to his car including 17" Wolfrace alloys, Hella angel lights, Hella angel spoiler and lowering springs. He sent me some nice photos of his BMW E36 car and asked me for tips to enhance his car’s exterior. First, lets take a look at his car then I will give him a simple tip that will make his car hot.

Kash’s car looks really clean and well maintained, but unfortunately, the gray skirt and bumpers are ruining that great look. So, if I were him, I would get a body kit (front spoiler, rear spoiler and sport mirrors) that will replace these parts altogether. I like the AC Schnitzer body kit although it’s expensive. It looks great on the E36 cars. Check it out below:

BMW E36 Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler – AC Schnitzer

BMW E36 3pcs Rear Spoiler – AC Schnitzer

BMW E36 Left Sport Mirror Housing – AC Schnitzer

BMW E36 Right Sport Mirror Housing – AC Schnitzer

I specially like the AC Schnitzer with their slogan on the mirrors, take a look at these:

Now, this is my opinion, so if I had that car, I would make this modification immediately (well, if I have the money 😆 ), what about you guys? What do you suggest?
