E36-KarayaTwo

Hi all,
Me and my car (cars actually) have been around for a few years so I guess it's about time to introduce at least the latest one.

I had the pleasure to meet some of you on the streets of Riga, for the rest here it is:

She's a '95 328i Convertible, Individual, ex-GB plate, but ordered in germany, so left hand drive.
Cosmo black with beige interiors, winter package, M-pack, Hifi system, now with also brake upgrade (Brembo discs, EBC pads, full metal braided lines), Coilovers, 18" with at the moment bridgestone winter tyres.

Looks nice, maybe you have more photos of interior?
And what about rust?

I like hard top and alloys
I cant say that im fan of this color but overal car is great

KarayaTwo · 25 Jan 2017, 20:18

Thanks all!
Interior is mostly stock, obc, heated seats, but I have been planning on redo all the leather since I bought it, only thing I did was installing the mood lights from an E39 into the lights cluster...
As for rust, it was originally kept as holiday car on an island in the mediterranean, so not many km and zero rust, And I'm trying my best to make it survive here...

I was used to it, i also have a 320i convertible that is still in italy and it has the armrest, but now driving this one everyday i have to say is not so bad.

yes the leather needs serious works to be done, how much is it here to re-do seats and door panels?

Nice e36..rims are awesome..

rvars · 25 Jan 2017, 20:53

Looks great!
What about strut bar? Is it custom made?

KarayaTwo · 25 Jan 2017, 21:15

Thanks, Strut bar is coming from the states, it's a ECS tuning bar, I bought it used in Italy and painted it matt black because the polished alluminium was sticking out too much.

Love the look with hardtop installed, but hate the lack of m moldings.

Ruudolfs · 25 Jan 2017, 22:31

Yes, I can agree about M side mouldings, but overally car looks great

Maybe only smoked front indicators would look better than white, but I'm not shure

Are you a pilot? Noticed the airport security pass in the first pic

Car looks nice! And the hardtop is a really nice thing to have (taking into account the average length of Latvian summers

).

Looks pretty majestic

You must be familiar with those to recognize it in that picture! Do you also work there?

Yes hardtop and heated seats have been very useful lately!

Mint as F*ck. Keep up the good work!
