Hello everyone and just to say my names Andy or as you will know me on the forum as spirit and a complete bmw nut who after waiting 15 years since seeing one decided in a moment of madness to rescue a e36 bmw 328i coupe 10 minutes from being crushed as the owner decided that he didnt want it for a drift car anymore so decided the end was nigh so fate had it i bought it there and then and started to make it a road car with an added twist but still retain the classic e36 feel.

the car is being built on a tight budget including the car of 2k so most of the car has been built with second hand parts and very few new ones and also calling in favours,swops,deals,begging etc to the point where just the rear arches need doing and a quick respray to tidy it up.

some of you may already know me anyway as i am a prominent member of bimmerforums.co.uk but i like to spread my knowledge and gain also so i use various forums in my quest as i like learning all the time

i hope its ok with admin staff if i post my project link from bimmerforums as its very page heavy and i will also post new stuff of course on here all the time so i hope its ok guys

There is an icon for bulk loading photobucket, then just copy the link and paste, I think it is the 3rd section down for the link, good luck. :D

The only way I can think of right now is the 'Share This Album' option on photobucket.,

Or we have our own bulk uploader, but that can't link to photo bucket.

I ill look into it though, seems a good idea.

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
