Born in Germany grown in Ukraine [ 3er BMW

Hello SYNDIKAT Guys,
Writing you from Ukraine (for those of you who still think it's all about gray colors since we've been part of USSR - you are mistaken ;) )

Here in Lviv(one of the regional centers of Ukraine which is quite European city, the one I live close to), we have established BMW Club Lviv.
It costs us a great deal of efforts to keep cars in nice conditions due to stupid tax laws that result in a very expensive spare parts and overpriced used cars themselves(i.e. E36). Normally if you've spent 3k euros buying E36 in Germany, you'll have to pay approximately 4K+ euros of taxes here... And so I've put you into the picture ;)

My car...bought one on the 19th of December 2009...nice St.Nicolas gift, isn't it? :)
320i, November '95, ~125000 km of run
S704A M SPORTFAHRWERK
S481A SPORTSITZE FUER FAHRER/BEIFAHRER
P337A M SPORTPAKET
STOFF/LEDER/ANTHRAZIT (C1AT)

Was looking for a 323 coupe...but the condition of this one...well it was really worth buying.
Since that time I've put part of me into the car....and here the Fotostorie begins...

First aquaintance

Got new Sachs Advantage shocks and OEM springs(have no pictures though). Blaupunkt CD43 was also mounted(got one nearly in new condition...), Blaupunkt Car Magic 221(E36 special) rear speakers and Blaupunkt Velocity 52.4 front. Also got Blaupunkt(E36 special) internal mirror panels to hold tweeters.

3.45 LSD cleaned from rust and repainted

Got Ac Schnitzer Type III 18", made some rear fender surgery(fenders were cut out a bit and new ones have been welded ~25 mm wider each), of course did car painting...

And some other pictures

Thanks for reading.

P.S. Sorry for writing in English - unfortunately I'm not good in German, but I'm ok with google tranlate ;)

P.P.S I would really appreciate to get contact of former owner of this car if someone recognizes it.
Car had been serviced at Block am Ring GmbH & Co, Goslarsche Straße 32, Wolfenbüttel, Germany.

Thanks in advance!

Good looking car... not perfect...but a much better story never thought off wasting time reading it

what would you add :) ? except for proper engine, air conditioning and full BC :) changing engine is a long story though...I've been preparing the car for this change by renewing suspension and breaks. M52B28 would be the easiest case, another idea is to get some S50/S52 - but this involves much more to change to make it all properly... M50b25 block + M52B28 Head + S52B32 Pistons + m54b30 camshafts, crankshaft - sounds also challenging to me...well what would you recommend?

Looks brilliant. Don't mess it up!

You have a very nice car and have it modified well!
And thank you very much for writing "Sportpaket" correctly ;)
best regards

You have written it correctly :) but there are so many people who write "SportpaCket" and this is simply wrong... ;)

i love this rims your BMW ist pefekt, maybe you should change your turn signal,- in my mind to a silver e36 the yellow turn signals go together.

The E36 was my first BMW. Very nice car, very nice club ;)

http://bmw-club.lviv.ua/showthread.php?t=3948 the text will not look meaningfull to you...but the pictures are self-explaining...they are from one of the drag racing events that took place on one of the lanes of military air port. make sure to check our 328i E46 Turbo now having 525hp+... Headlights - OEM ZKW with CCFL rings(will remove them soon :) )

Nice Car ,primarily the color and the conversions.
Great respect for the work.

With regards,
Mike
