Ive just bought my 3rd BMW. ive only been on the road legally for 8 months and i just cant stop admireing BMWS. for my first car i had a original e30 318i coupe, but sadly she died in a ditch upside down, but after crashing my first baby, i started to get abit more interested in the good old beemers. I then had another e30, but this one was a e30 320i, she was a good runner, till i went through 3 sumps in a week, i just couldnt stop thrashing her, and she wouldnt stop either. But now ive got 3rd lucky motor, its a red e36 318is, and shes lovely, i am defo going to project on this. but anyway as u can tell i love my beemers and i only joined the BMW OWNERS CLUB, to meet new BMW admirers, and exchange knowledge.

thanks for looking

p.s. does anyone know any good links for performance parts for e36's, i.e ECU'S, CHIPS, and other mods.

Hello mate

well when i bought the car, it was lowerd on 30mm springs all round but on standard shocks. and it handled like a boat haha. but i was driving down this nice twisty country round and there was a dip in the road and i twatted the sump and oil went every were, then i got a new sump, and i bottomed out again, and it happend for the 3rd time, then my diff seased up. in the end i gave up, and bought a e36 1.9 is. shes lovely to drive and quick, ive gt 139mph which is not bad for a standard sport. what beemer do u have.

OUCH!!!! 3 sumps.... My E46 is lowered and i drive over bumps likea !Removed!, n agree it upsets handling, i'm going back to normal springs :)

did your rear diff have a leak? If you clumped the sump a few times then perhaps the diff also had a knock and broke the seal. This happened to me once before.

Dont worry mate im a !Removed! when it comes to bumps haha i do like to look after my beemers. my dad is looking for the e46 m3 csl on piston heads they are so nice. a few more no years no claims and i might have to treat myself to one.

my mate has got an e36 m3 he just had it remapped and its now running 356bhp it is mental.

where abouts are you from then, and is there any meet ups atall round where u live.
