Took this quick pic of my pedals after installation. I highly recommend bmwpedals, very good customer service. Thanks to Clubber for the tip.

Congrats from a fellow e36 ///M 3 owner!

I have always wanted a Euro spec e36 (tough to get here in USA). I think the wheel is a perfect fit as the e36 had alcantara options originally.

I will look forward to the progress.

Thanks man! Hope to have some progress posted up sooner than later. The aim at some point today is to detail some of the body parts that need some TLC; and then hopefully getting it to a garage in a day or two to check the oils, mounts, timing (brought to my attention by fellow TSer - Mean Machine) and a few other things.

Stay tuned!

I think I may have gotten a sneak peak from Nawaf, but from what I saw... it looks fantastic! SHARE IT!!!!

One more thing... can anyone help me with a technical forum question: how do I embed images into a post and type between them? Currently, I am only able to group them up into one batch of images. Thanks!

Okay, so now it's time to discuss some body issues which instantly jumped out at me when I purchased the M3. There are little dings and scratches around the car, not too bad for an 18 year old machine (trust me, they look a lot worse in the pictures).

A general issue with E36 3 Series models was that paint fading on the front and rear bumpers was common; as seen on this example as well. The black trim around the car will need replacing, as well as the window / door seal trim will eventually be removed and replaced with newer items.

Nice work! Great to see another restoration. Looks like you are well on your way to having a mint M3.
