New stock headlights, New paintjob, New leather on the interior, new original wheel, new BMW badge, new original shot knob, new wheels with a nice pair of tires, that's my e36 receip, and goes for about most cars
should look into best mods to make them drive like new. the most important bushings and suspension mods etc to make these 20+ year old cars drive smooth again.
Crazy how big a difference new badges make on any old BMW. When I did it on my old E30 it went from nugget to legitimate classic car with just the badges lol.
Few more things I would add to this list are: dash cluster bulbs, door panels, upholstery, all air filters, good clean, and decent seat covers to match type of seats you've got.
@@leobird403 i have an e36 320i as my first car insured it 2 days after i became 18 paying 70 for simple insurance and 91 for almost all in and mine has 6 cylinders and 150hp but im only paying with taxes everything 160 a month only to have it so its do able
man i have an m3 e36 97 and for sum reason it just won’t start or turn on, we added a new battery, checked the fuses, and the engine is completely in good condition. and thanks for the tips.
As much as I want to agree, everyone does it (with good reason, it does look great). I think a Non M car lowered looks great with stock bumpers/sideskirts, although I think the M3 side trim on the doors looks killer.
@@letsplayclassicgames5024 I know what you mean. There is something special about a lowered stock E36, even without the side skirts. It just screams class and quality.
But the E46 steering wheel looks bad on E36, because it's not period correct . You should buy the mtech 2 or mtech 3 (with air bag) if you don't want to go aftermarket
Hmm the price of a painting here is around 5k.. u could buy 2-3x E36 with that amount. I would add also rear lights, I just upgraded mines to the new model Led ones
My dad wants to buy me a car even though I’m 16 so we can start upgrading it ASAP and have it ready to go when I’m old enough but I have zero knowledge in cars and I really really really want this car I have no idea where to even start though where can I find a e36 for a reasonable price ? Thanks
Facebook marketplace or Craigalist. Try and find a 328i with a manual. It's a solid platform and will be able to grow with you as a driver. Trust me, it's a great first car. They're just fast enough to have fun, reliable, cheap, and not super hard to work on.
Hello friend! I invested $3,000 and Mr Gareth Smith made profits of $7,200 for me after 14days. I’m not here to converse for him but to share my testimony. You can reach him through his mail Garethsmith5395 for any crypto related inquiries
Yeah that would be cool to but I feel like if you showed essentially what you did to get where you are with having a shop and multiple drift cars that could also motivate people to try it out
Hello yes and there are many more things you can do , White lights front side and rear , easily available on EBay makes the car look so fresh , , Paint the sills and bars the same colour as the car also , Big plus is NEW Wheels , I got a very good set of F90 3 series 17x7.5" alloys with 235x45-17 Firestone S01s , ( just fit under the guards) , makes the car look like a Tonka Toy on steroids !!!, also some gloss black M grilles. one other thing Chrome exhaust trims ! also use Tyre shine on all the mouldings and under bonnet plastics keeps them shinier longer and yes New badges i bought Alpina Bages and side stripes , my Madiera Schwarz 325i Coupe looks new not 27 years old now
Replace the Thermostat n flush the radiator. You want to see the radiator gush lots of water when u run a hose on it. Also the Heater control valve vould be stuck not allowing the heater core to fill properly n get the trapped air out of the system. Upgrade the bleeder screw to a brass bleeder. Also check if your fan clutch has tension when it starts to reach normal operating temp. Verify any other coolant leaks
my dad had a E36 (which got abandoned for various reasons) and I asked him to make it useable again It haven't been used since I was 4 and I'm 13 and a half now
HeyImSLY haha I’ll have to start putting it together. These types of videos might be beneficial in the winter because less daylight = less time to shoot videos 😬
Jon Drives do you still use a rubber guibo? Because I’m about to grab an aluminum with poly bushing one from ecs tuning. I’d rather something else brake at this point. Tired of cutting and welding the exhaust. Lol.
Great result Jon. Btw I'm still waiting on my stickers. It's about a month now, you posted them. Normally it takes 3 weeks from the US. Have to be patient I guess..
Hey man. Not yet. With stock power, I would imagine that wouldn't be a huge issue. My buddy actually broke one once but that was because it had 188k miles and 27 years on it. So maybe just replace with new ones.
Really late to comment but maybe it’ll help someone. If the cars lowered the axles cam overextend and break. You can get axle spaces which will basically fix the issue
New stock headlights, New paintjob, New leather on the interior, new original wheel, new BMW badge, new original shot knob, new wheels with a nice pair of tires, that's my e36 receip, and goes for about most cars
Don't forget angel eyes(ring lights)
I would add to this list:
-m-pack front bumper
-m-pack rear lights
M bumpers are a good mod for sure!
zuniek thinking about getting one for my e60 , should I?
@@alvojnikovic2171 it is a good look, but just the front would be kind of incomplete, right?
I would also add new wheels
You can get everything you want in a month ask me how on Garethsmith5395@gmail.com
should look into best mods to make them drive like new. the most important bushings and suspension mods etc to make these 20+ year old cars drive smooth again.
Good idea. I might have to do that as well. Thanks
@@jspeedracing do it! I'll be waiting!
Have he done it?
Crazy how big a difference new badges make on any old BMW. When I did it on my old E30 it went from nugget to legitimate classic car with just the badges lol.
Bought my e36 because of you! I need to upgrade my steering wheel for sure it’s a little beat up
Awesome Josh! I love to hear that
I want to upgrade my e36 steering wheel but I don't want to lose the airbag
How’d u get it?
#6 Replacing/Repainting any outside plastic pieces such as windshield cowl, window trim, and all the black door/bumper strip-mouldings.
Maybe should have done top 10 lol. Good idea
Few more things I would add to this list are: dash cluster bulbs, door panels, upholstery, all air filters, good clean, and decent seat covers to match type of seats you've got.
I wouldn't do the tint unless I use clear tint like V Kool because it looks a lot cleaner without tint. The rest on the list are great
I think changing the wingmirrors and wheels on an E36 make the biggest difference
M sport package with spoiler and lightweight rims always work for track. Combined with some good springs, coilovers and stuff, perfect car
Headlights sell a car
Huge impact 👍
Big Keg agreed BK!
2:53 i actually think shiny orange peel actually looks quite good, particularly on dark colours.
i might be getting a e 36 for my first car and the previus owner put many upgrades and im so exited
Good luck getting insured aahahah

Perfect video im doing all the same and Carbon fiber hood, suspension energy dump headers out of converter. Everything interior exterrior.

XDShizzle check if you have fuel. Starter fluid in the intake, and if it starts, you know you have a fuel issue
I did m3 bumper get rid of all the orange lights with clear a strut bar m3 diffuser so tail lights, corner, lights, fender lights
Perfect top 5! Also, If you want your regular e36 to look a bit more sporty after that, just get an e36 M3 bodykit. ;)

Would the drift upgrades be the same for 1995 BMW 318I
I guess I better start saving for an e36 xD, restoring one would be so much fun
But the E46 steering wheel looks bad on E36, because it's not period correct . You should buy the mtech 2 or mtech 3 (with air bag) if you don't want to go aftermarket
100% do the drift mods🙏 love your channel by the way brother
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Ill start making the list. These are such great little drift cars.
I need little more saving for e36 its look sick and cheap cant wait to buy it
Right on brother!
Hmm the price of a painting here is around 5k.. u could buy 2-3x E36 with that amount. I would add also rear lights, I just upgraded mines to the new model Led ones
1:15 this is not the e36 m3 steering wheel..you showed the e46 steering wheel and i think is not even from e46 m3
Look at the bottom right corner
That’s what you call your first paint job? That’s professional!
Dont forget "Door Handle Gaskets / New Cowl" by Windshield wipers, Both will be very cracked and brittle.
I would love Hella Celis Black headlights with eyebrows but it's so hard to get these lights. But it would look very good.
Nice car bro what's the black thing on the hood?
Og you go fore the headlight i would sat get some agresiv ore custom headlight
My dad wants to buy me a car even though I’m 16 so we can start upgrading it ASAP and have it ready to go when I’m old enough but I have zero knowledge in cars and I really really really want this car I have no idea where to even start though where can I find a e36 for a reasonable price ? Thanks

Ended up looking into it myself, looks like the photos were taken by Forgestar

You should have go for the headlight with projector looks even better👌🏻
I really want a white e36 now
I want my first car to be a project car which is the e36 318is 😅, good idea idk please tell me
How much do one of these go for? Found a 1992 318is for 2k only thing wrong with it is a misfire. Idk if it's a good deal
Thx bro❤
they only come as a stick stuff?
Can somebody please explain to me why rear tyres of e36 looks smaller than the fronts?
Dude, 336K views!
Awesome 👍👍👍
Informative; thank you.
glad you enjoyed
good Points Right there
Also wird mein e36 neu aussehen, indem ich neue Ersatzteile kaufe?
........ Sachen gibt's 🤦♂️
klare sache
how much did it cost to paint
Hey I plan on buying a e36 328i for my first car and daily driving it, is there anything I should lookout for or is it a totally stupid idea??
Cool man! Honestly, I would recommend an E46 for a daily. Newer. Just make sure it was maintained well. Right on brother
1:14 thats a e46 wheel m8
Rear low diffuser, fancywide style
what wheels are those at 1:47 ?
U guys know how much it cost to paint a car? I got a 1999 bmw 323i
Depends. Maaco is cheap. probably between $1k-$3k
@@jspeedracing oh dang that’s expensive, what about raping the whole car? How much would that be?
Hey I realy need help with this but I wanted to know is if i should engine swap or turbo my e36
great question. I would say do some research on both and see what is right for you. I am currently gathering parts for a turbo setup. Thanks man
If it's an m3 I'd turbo it it already has a great engine in it. If it's just a 3 series since it's not as special of a car I'd do a swap.
The e46 3 spoke steering wheel fits on e36 without any modification ??
Șobi please do research before you try it

We’re did u buy ur e36
Does anyone know what front bumper that is, in the thumbnail?
e36 m3 bumper. They on ebay for cheap
I love E36
Me too!
what year is your car
1996
if i get a 4cylinder 5 speed manual is it still a e36? it’s a 96 318i. kinda new to bmw life
yes sir
318 is for teens and ladys
great video man!
BudgetBoizMedia thanks budget boys, hope to see your e36 drifting soon!
Jon Drives that’s my plan!
awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video! You should make videos explaining what you have done to get where you are and how you have grown
Good idea. I might just do that. What about a video on how much money I make off youtube with 5k subscribers?
Yeah that would be cool to but I feel like if you showed essentially what you did to get where you are with having a shop and multiple drift cars that could also motivate people to try it out
Wheels?

Can someone tell me where tf to find an e36 for $400??!
Facebook
i got the E 46 but thank you
Were did you buy your bmw e36
Luca Peiret Facebook marketplace
does the e46 retrofit fits on e36?
I think so but please google it and double check
How much did the paint cost you. That whole job.
aKa Chrispy about $400-500 for materials.
Jon Drives oh alright that doesn’t seem that bad.
I have an e36 and the cooling is bad on it I don’t know what to do😭🥺
Replace the cooling system. Put an electric fan! That helps
Replace the Thermostat n flush the radiator. You want to see the radiator gush lots of water when u run a hose on it. Also the Heater control valve vould be stuck not allowing the heater core to fill properly n get the trapped air out of the system. Upgrade the bleeder screw to a brass bleeder. Also check if your fan clutch has tension when it starts to reach normal operating temp. Verify any other coolant leaks
I kinda have your bmw on my lock screen😅
The camber on that m3 at 2:00 made me so sad
my dad had a E36 (which got abandoned for various reasons) and I asked him to make it useable again
It haven't been used since I was 4 and I'm 13 and a half now
SadJixx on Ps4 cool man! Save them all
@@jspeedracing I will trussme ❤
I really miss the vibes of that car tho
BMW E36 is the Best
#0= old seals all around the car. Especially the roof ledge seals those suckers rust like metal on a lake.
hello i would like to aske where did you bought this car ?
matulator from a friend of mine
nice car !!
Btw when you were painting the bmw you forgot to tape of the wheels
Thanks for the info. Ya i had some junky wheels on it. I covered them for the most part. :)
MFront bumper M3 side mirrors headlights
E46 before the e46......GANG
Oh yes.
lmao i thought u were gonna say camber on the last one i was gonna be pisssssedddd
Ayden Gardient haha not for me.
Angel Eyes headlights
BMW cars are really nice
For sure!
Drift mod video would be cool because jeeesus if I blow another guibo from just normal driving I’m gonna throw a fit. 😂😂

Same lmao I blew mine on the way back from a 300 mile trip and drove home on the metal bolt linings😂😭
A ceramic coat would be nice too
Eric Welch ah smart. Might have to do a part 2
Great result Jon. Btw I'm still waiting on my stickers. It's about a month now, you posted them. Normally it takes 3 weeks from the US. Have to be patient I guess..
Hey John. Have you ever broken an axle with a welded diff? Any advice on reducing that?
p.s. your videos makes me want to drift my 36 :P
Hey man. Not yet. With stock power, I would imagine that wouldn't be a huge issue. My buddy actually broke one once but that was because it had 188k miles and 27 years on it. So maybe just replace with new ones.

The thing I like about most of you yanks is that you do a lot of the work yourself, in the uk 90% of the car sense is sponsored by finance
imo windows tint is not a thing anymore. i will never do that to my e36 coupe.
Love itd bmw e36
Why would you not detail the car instead of painting it? 😩
Hi should I buy an e36 if it is rusted underneath?
No
wtf bro, you said it was your first paint? i tried to pant my bumper and the final result was shit tho, i can't imagine doing the whole car.
haha I was so stressed. I spent hours sanding and prepping. I was in too deep. My buddies were concerned for me lol.
Paint is ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL in the prep my bro
GRIM REAPER haha oh yes. Takes forever!
perfect
You forgot the rims it make it really newer
Κυριακος i might have to do a part 2 😉
This is your most popular video you need to recreate this video with more mods :)
You're so right!
E36 king car
You bought the E36 for $400? Where can I buy a E36 anyways?
This was 4 years ago. They have gone up in price lol
