Just hit 300K on my DD '92 E36 325i!

Best car I have ever owned!!! Bought in '98 with 140k on the clock for 5K with a few problems and after fixing myself for under 1k (new shocks/springs, heater core and AC o-ring). It has been very reliable. I did have to replace the original clutch about 15,000 miles ago due to the throwout bearing going bad, but the engie has never been opened up and uses little oil between 12-15k dino oil changes.

Still drives great and everything but the cruise control still works fine.





I hope my wife's '03 330i sport ends up being similar.

That's great, first year of the e36 too. How is the interior holding up?

F the Bimmer, Bemmer, Schlemmer, is that a T-34 in the background?

Pretty d@mn good considering I do not detail much anymore since I started driving it instead of my wife a few years ago. No rips in the seats and only one rip in left corner of the knee pad near the drivers left knee (I ripped it when taking the cover off many year ago). Besides that, the only thing that shows much wear is the leather is worn off where the heel of my hand contacts the shifter.


A few pics of it I just walked outside and snapped (the flash really shows I need to give it a much deserved detailing )

The local county airport closed it's runway for a couple weeks to re-pave so a couple customers of my aircraft inspection/repair side business asked to tie their airplanes down at my grass strip so they would still be able to fly if they wanted to.

Right next to it is a Piper Saratoga. I sure hope we don't get any hail storms for the next couple of weeks .
