Hi guys,

I want to show you my daily driver!

It is an original E36T AMG from 94

It had full options - except:
no adjustable steering
no memory for passenger seat
no heater
no AMG suspension


what I modified:
-H&R springs -35mm
-BBS Le Mans @ 8,5x18 + 9,5x18 HA for summer
-Brabus Monoblock III @ 8x17 for winter
-334x32mm brakes from SL600 Final Edition

-Prins VSI LPG system self installe
-stainless steel exhaust up from headers with 2x 200cpi cats + TDI Style

-AMG center console
-E55 AMG steering wheel, custom veneered in burl walnut for W124
-leather seats changed from black to tan
-roof and pillars covered with Alcantara anthracite from W221
-leather covered doorhandles
-AMG door sills

-"Avantgarde" grille
-badges removed
-US indicators
-but NO red/ grey tailllights (I love the oldschool look)

Those are beautiful AMGs, very tasteful mods in my opinion.
I especially like the steering wheel upgrade, must be one of the most satisfying mods as you can appreciate it visually and physically.

thanks guys!


@Rahulio:

yes, you're right. Interior is very important for me...
...if I am driving, I am usually inside the car



@suginame:
There were built only about 170 E36 wagons... so they are quiet rare!
In the past two years I saw only 4 of them beeing offered on the internet.


@iceman:
a turboed Bnez diesel is a nice base for some modifications
looks clean and I love that brown interior!


regards Rod
