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.
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.
@@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.
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
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
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
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..
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
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.
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.
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
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
As previous owner of RS13 (European 200SX) and now an E36 I can surely say that the driver's experience along with it's design is uncomparable to E36. S13 for ever

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

Good idea. I might have to do that as well. Thanks
@@jspeedracing do it! I'll be waiting!
Have he done it?
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
I think changing the wingmirrors and wheels on an E36 make the biggest difference
Headlights sell a car
Huge impact 👍
Big Keg agreed BK!
M sport package with spoiler and lightweight rims always work for track. Combined with some good springs, coilovers and stuff, perfect car
2:53 i actually think shiny orange peel actually looks quite good, particularly on dark colours.
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
Perfect top 5! Also, If you want your regular e36 to look a bit more sporty after that, just get an e36 M3 bodykit. ;)

Good luck getting insured aahahah

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.
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.
XDShizzle check if you have fuel. Starter fluid in the intake, and if it starts, you know you have a fuel issue
Perfect video im doing all the same and Carbon fiber hood, suspension energy dump headers out of converter. Everything interior exterrior.
I guess I better start saving for an e36 xD, restoring one would be so much fun
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.
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
I need little more saving for e36 its look sick and cheap cant wait to buy it
Right on brother!
You should have go for the headlight with projector looks even better👌🏻
Dude, 336K views!
Awesome 👍👍👍
Also wird mein e36 neu aussehen, indem ich neue Ersatzteile kaufe?
........ Sachen gibt's 🤦♂️
klare sache
I really want a white e36 now
good Points Right there
I love E36
Me too!
Informative; thank you.
glad you enjoyed
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
BMW E36 is the Best
Thx bro❤
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
awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
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
I kinda have your bmw on my lock screen😅
E46 before the e46......GANG
Oh yes.
I would love Hella Celis Black headlights with eyebrows but it's so hard to get these lights. But it would look very good.
great video man!
BudgetBoizMedia thanks budget boys, hope to see your e36 drifting soon!
Jon Drives that’s my plan!
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
Rear low diffuser, fancywide style
Nice car bro what's the black thing on the hood?
i got the E 46 but thank you
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..
Would the drift upgrades be the same for 1995 BMW 318I
nice car !!
BMW cars are really nice
For sure!
lmao i thought u were gonna say camber on the last one i was gonna be pisssssedddd
Ayden Gardient haha not for me.
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

1:15 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
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

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
#0= old seals all around the car. Especially the roof ledge seals those suckers rust like metal on a lake.
Drift mod video would be cool because jeeesus if I blow another guibo from just normal driving I’m gonna throw a fit. 😂😂

A ceramic coat would be nice too
Eric Welch ah smart. Might have to do a part 2
Love itd bmw e36
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?
This is your most popular video you need to recreate this video with more mods :)
You're so right!
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 e46 3 spoke steering wheel fits on e36 without any modification ??

yes sir
318 is for teens and ladys
how much did it cost to paint
Nice

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.
E36 king car
Can somebody please explain to me why rear tyres of e36 looks smaller than the fronts?
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.
You forgot the rims it make it really newer
