The Car I will inherit and what I will do!

[defuqlement2]

This is a BMW E36 328is that I really like!!! Now I'm three years away from my license so in that I will be modding the hell out of this thing! The stock engine is a 2.8l inline 6 that puts out a MASSIVE 190hp after the mods I have an estimate of about 368hp. Here's a picture of her! I will be adding these things!

AEM Fuel injectors
HKS front mount intercooler
T-4 turbocharger
Megan Racing Eurostreet suspension
Brembo GT disc brakes
Sparco steering wheel, shift knob, pedals, and handbrake lever
Sprace EVO Xl seats
Megan racing gauges (boost, oil pressure, vacuum)
Perrin gauge pods
Autopower roll cage
Option racing stainless steel headers
Apexi Piggy back programmer
Blitz boost controller
Megan racing blow off valve
HKS turbo downpipe
Apexi turbo timer
ATP turbo hoses
AEM Ignition coils
Sparco Assetto Gara rims in charcoal
Hankook Ventus RS-3 tires
GFB shortshifter
AEM Hold injector driver
Spec-D Tuning tail lights
VIS GT-R style carbon fiber hood
Megan Racing drift style carbon fiber wing
Extreme dimensions SRS body kit
ARK Racing exhaust system
AutoLoc dual exhaust flame thrower

AND IT WILL BE YELLOW!

So it's not yours. Not sure you can really post it here.

And the mods? I'll be a bit kind ... It's .... wrong.

Nice car, I almost bought an E36 myself. And you seem like a nice kid. But my advice is to take that Fast & Furious mod list, wad it up, and throw it in the wastebasket. Seriously, you have an exhaust flame thrower on there. The good news is that instead of knocking you I'm going to try help to set you straight.

The first thing you're going to be spending your meager paycheck on with a two decade old BMW is maintenance. For example, the cooling systems on these cars tend to disintegrate every 60k miles. Buy a good service manual and set of tools and start learning to do your own wrenching. After that, my advice is to learn how to drive. I know you probably play Forza six hours a day, but I'm here to tell you you can't drive. Take it from someone who rolled his first car three times at around 60 mph and almost died. If you're in the US, get an SCCA membership and a helmet and start attending autocrosses. It's cheap, safe, and not too hard on the car. Do this before you start modifying your car. Talk to other BMW guys and ask what the weakest points of the car are and fix these first. Buy quality instead of quantity. Leave the engine alone until your suspension, alignment, brakes, and tires are well sorted. By then you should be able to look back at this post, realize what a horrible idea it was, and thank god that you didn't destroy a nice car.

I think you said somewhere before on the forums that it's your uncle's.

So Bobby is your dad? You're from Chicago? You said you're from San Francisco which isn't Chicago.

All those race games make people think they are race drivers... even I thought it would be easy to put some laps on Hockenheim GP with my Alfa (in the reality of course), and damn its harder then it looks!

I'm not a kid...I'm 17. My mom won't let me get my drivers license for three years. By the way that list was just a joke, I actually have a tight budget of $2,000 so that's enough to buy maybe some moderate brakes. But that wouldn't work because I'll be spending it on (like oppositelock said) maintenance! And please that post was unclear and childish so don't just go and hate on me. Thanks

[conan]

Well done changing your mind. And my post wasn't unclear and neither childish.

I'd suggest you stop lying right now, at least you haven't told us you own the car, which will often ends in immediate forcing out of the site. You haven't reach the point of no return yet.

Or type in a more mature and cautious way and we'll ignore the most of it.

It does?

[defuqlement2]

Listen I am sorry for lying, I just feel like I am competing with these Car experts! Yes it was a childish thing to do and just once again I'm sorry. By the way conan_murder I respect you and I didn't mean your comment was bad. I just felt offended even though I kind of offended a lot of people. But I hope you accept my apology and I really do love the game I really do so do what you need to do to like punish me if you want.

Sorry,
Max

[Daffyflyer]

*Sigh* Don't feel the need to try and compete with everyone, hell there are people here who own AMG Mercedes and Porches and stuff, doesn't mean I need to pretend I don't just have an old MX5.

Anyway, this thread isn't going anywhere. LOCKED!
