At last a turn for the better! I found a -97 328i sedan for the time being. The car seems to be in good condition and has only 97 000km on the clock. As a first tune I ordered a H&R CupKit with 40mm/15mm lowering and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. After the suspension and tires are installed, hopefully within the next couple of weeks, it’s time to see how the car works on the track.

Otherwise the car is a bit of a suprise for me. My BMW story started with an e46 so I had no previous experience of the older e36 and therefore had some prejudice when it comes to the car as whole.

Luckily I was wrong. For the price I paid of the car, it offers suprisingly good handling, quiet ride and enough power to keep me awake during accelerations It is interesting to see how the 10 year old car handles on track and how well it holds when driven hard.

That’s all for now. I’ll be back when I get the suspension and tires installed and have tried the car on track!
