BMW E36 3 SERIES 328i COUPE AFTER 18 YEARS OF DAILY DRIVING | EPISODE #1

We thought it was time to formally introduce this car which you first glimpsed in Episode #1 of the Touring series. This is the "OG" BMW E36 which Arch owned before Mart and which Mart has kept as his daily driver for 18 years. This is a BMW E36 3 Series 328i Coupe Manual in Montreal Blue Metallic manufactured in May 1996 - he has owned it since 2006. It has 115K on the clock and if you want to see what 18 years of dependable daily driving and short-trip commuting does to an E36 - check out the video. In this film we examine the exterior, the [spartan] interior and take it for a winter drive in the cold - finishing off with a little pub visit. Our plan is simple, despite the freezing temperature, we give it a good going over and discuss what we can do in one calendar year to try and get it back to some kind of respectability. This will kick off a new series on this car over the coming year(s). You can watch the E36 Touring Series and Playlist here:    • "HERO" - BMW 3 SERIES E36 TOURING 328i MAN...   We will start showing the next steps in that ongoing Touring restoration soon, which will cover the period from October 2023 to present day. So three questions: 1) Why is there no carpet? 2) What does an E36 age like over 18 years? 3) Will he ever turn around? Hope you enjoy it.
