so back in september 2012 i purchased my first BMW off one of my best friends, his parents bought it brand new and garage kept it the entire life of the car.
it was super clean e36 coupe, none sport and only a baby 4 banger engine... but that won't be staying.
My mum had an e36 compact which probably started my love for the platform but there was no chance i was going to get a compact and my friend said this had to go as they only had room for one car at there place and there brand new car was due to be delivered the next day....
so i basically got the car for free. win win.
about 3 days after i got the e36 my mums engine went bang in hers. i already had a different car and the plan was to keep this one off the road and build it as and when i had the time and the money.... so i said that she could use the car whilst she looked for a new one...
almost 4 years later i finally get the car given back.... bodywork still extremely good condition but unfortunately the engine sounds like a bag of nails and all the suspension was well and truly fubar, but that didn't bother me as the engine wasn't going to stay and the suspension sure as hell wasn't going to stay either.
luckily i don't need to drive to work as i work in the centre of london so i get a train in and this just sits waiting for me to work on it as and when i get the time....
