About Me About me? I'm Chris, I live in and greatly dislike Connecticut. Florida is where I'll be off to when I finish school. I'm going to school now at Porter & Chester for, you guessed it, automotive. I fix and repair cars, and I also do all my own work on my own car, from repairs to upgrades. I love cars, I love BMW the most, unfortunately I don't have the money to buy a new one, only enough to make my car better :). Here's hoping to work at a BMW shop or dealership someday. |

General Vehicle Comments Nothing eats road like a Bimmer.
1991 - 1999 (E36) The first modern 3 Series, the E36, was the model that paved the way for the 3 Series to be named "Car of the Year" every year since the model was driving off showroom floors. Radically redesigned in 1992, the E36 was not the same 3 Series as the E21 and E30. Larger, less boxy in design, and equipped with a dual overhead cam engine, multilink rear suspension, and a more finished interior, the E36 balances sport with luxury.
Not to mention the "bulletproof" long block that is the M50B25, housing a forged crankshaft, forged rods, and forged pistons, making 192bhp and 185 lb-ft in torque. The 1992 model year is most likely the easiest to modify for power, due to the lack of VANOS variable camshaft timing, and lack of limitations due to OBDII regulations and safety standards. |
