Did I Find the Cleanest BMW E36 328i? + Update On All Projects - Project Valencia - P1
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this episode, I bought sight unseen supposedly a really nice car. A 1996 BMW E36 328i finished in Arctic silver over beautiful Safran leather interior. The car has an interesting history as the first owner was an actual princess. We also do a round-up and update on all of the projects.

The character of the videos always changes (for the worst) when people bring in external editors etc. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we can wait for each excellent video to come out, when it's ready!
Holy shit, as a fellow E36 owner I only wished to see E36 content in your channel and it is now real! I am SO watching this tonight. Thanks for all you do man, you probably read this like 100 times a day, but these videos make a lot of people very happy.

Fun fact: in The Netherlands cars from the royal household were painted in a special blue color. When these cars were sold of they had to be repainted as that special color was reserved for the royal household. Not sure if that is still the case or that Belgium has a similar policy.

@@jorgex1604 I see no Aspensilber in this E36... It's too dark grey and has no hint of purple lavender metallic in the sun... (I've had a 1998 e39 in Aspensilber for 10 years and I'm still bitter for selling it...) Aspen would also be an interesting color for a royal especially in combination with Aubergine leather, but perhaps the princess wanted the yellow leather and the color table in the buying guide probably discouraged a combo of yellow leather & Aspensilber... Also on the topic of combos, how about this yellow leather and Dakargelb? :-D

All of these cars are so historical, interesting and beautiful that I would have the same problem of engaging in too much projects if I were in the position that you are. The good thing is that there is absolutely no rush because your videos are best in class and a blue e39 M5 is going to be as interesting in 2 years as it was in 2022 while the opportunities to acquire these vehicles do not hold for 2 or 4 years. Im ecstatic about the future of the channel, that e36 is a jewel. Congratulations!
All of your cars are nice and special on their own way, but that E60 M5 is by far my favourite! But that may change after the E92 M3 is done. Congratulations on your marriage!
E36 is peak BMW era for me. I had several (including the M3 Evo). Personally I feel the 4 door has the best proportions and I'm glad to see one on the channel. You'll need to add the exhaust trims to your list of parts needed too. They used to get stolen all the time around here. Not sure why unless it was because they would corrode and then get loose.

Sreten has the most positive comments section of any channel I follow and I absolutely love it.
A Tipp you propably already know: zkw headlights in comparison to the Bosch units have Glas stray lights inside. You can take them out and they clean up beautifully. Looks like new in the end 😊
The E36 looks incredible!! Such a clean car, and the spec is fantastic. Too much of a shame for a trackcar - but I fully support the build of a track car on your channel! Massive thank you again for lending me my childhood poster car/your favourite car, the E60 M5! Can't wait to post the video soon :)
Congratulations on your marrige! The plan you have in mind for the e46 touring sounds sick, and as for project valencia, it would be funny to reach out to the princess to see if she wants to buy it back (probably not, but it would make a really cool story if it came true lol)
Have you thought about using the e46 touring as a track car to learn on? To me it seems like a perfect use for the car considering it is being replaced by the e39 for daily purposes. The engine and gearbox can be driven hard on track as you are eventually swapping both with m54b30/6-speed. It doesnt need to be towed to the track -and can carry a bunch of tires/tools for trackdays in the back. Good starting point I would think, espesially with some light modifications.

Love the E36! Was my first BMW and I miss it every day. This one would be a perfect candidate for dry ice cleaning, it looks perfect underneath
OMG I loved these E36 328i models. I was in high school and I wanted one so badly with those same wheels and tires. Those drive beautifully. Wish they still made them like this. I would buy one in a heart beat!! You should restore it back to OEM and keep it as a classic BMW E36. This one is too nice to make it a track car.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Sreten! Enjoy your time away from all the projects, we'll all be here when you get back!
Congrats on the marriage, 9 years together is huge and all of us collectively are waiting on that E92 rebuild!

My father owned a E36 328i Touring from 1996 - 2001. Even today he's telling me that this car was the best in his whole life. In five years he drove close to 400.000km to this car and it never takes one drop of oil or water. It was also the first BMW with which I rode...In 1998 to my birth into the hospital and later back to my home. My parents also owned in that time a BMW E30 318i Cabrio in Diamantschwarz with leather in Beige. They bought it brandnew in 1990. Today I wish I was born sooner because I have no memories of that cars...
Great to see a new addition to the stable and what a gem it is. Enjoy your time off in July! We all need a break now and then, plus spending quality time with loved ones. We can wait and tinker on our cars for a bit 😉
Congrats on the marriage! Regarding the e36: finally you have one on the channel, and with royal pedigree to boot. It would be epic to give it the full m539 treatment and make it the nicest example there is.
Congrats Sreten! I'm so happy for you two. Do what you love and don't change, you're amazing!

What a neat looking E36 you have found and it needs to be saved for a new owner to enjoy it. Looking forward to next episode. Thank you for the updates on all projects and congratulations on your journey to marriage. ❤🎉
Congratulations, Sreten, on your nuptials. It's about time you pulled the trigger in your relationship. I wish you the very best, and you deserve it. Goddamn, that E36 looks amazing; such a great find. I can't wait to see what you get to do with this beauty. I'm sure you’ll be able to bring this car to near museum quality, as usual. That E36 looks like it was loved and taken care of. You got so lucky with this find, Sreten, time to get to work. Stay safe, and again, congrats on becoming a husband. Make sure you take care of your marriage as well as you take care of your livery, and everything will be fine. Also, thanks for the update on the rest of the livery; it's greatly appreciated. Take care of yourself, and we’ll see you on the next one, my friend.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, you two. Great to see an E36, I still look at my 328i Sport and cry. Metal was so fragile back in the day, it blistered and rusted. Good luck on a quick turn around and a bit of profit hopefully, to put back in your pocket.

I'm so glad to see you in an E36. its the chassis that made me fall in love with BMWs. I miss my '99 M3.
Congratulations for the second marriage (as the 1st was deciding to fix broken bmw’s)! Whenever you can, please tell me your opinion about E83 X3 lci. They are reaching bottom price here in Brazil, and I’ve been somewhat considering as a daily. Tourings around here have become really pricey.

Congratulations on getting married! All best wishes and thanks a ton for the lovely content! Would love to see M54+ build for E46!
Ohhh this brought back so many memories ! My dad had an E36 325i in navy blue color with Safran interiors, 2 doors 5 speed manual. I loved it and it flew !!
Congratulations and best wishes to you both ! Keep reaching for the stars !
Congrats on tying the knot! I recently mechanically restored a 1998 323is in Avus blue w/ a manual so this is right up my alley, looking forward to more E36 content. Also, that interior color looks very similar to Modena interior offered on the E36 M cars. I owned one such example in Alpine White years and years back.

YES E36 CONTENT just as i got mine back for free from the ex owner that abandoned it at a shopping centre because of a flat battery.. It cost me the trailer rental. I'm expecting more filmic masterpieces around this beauty in future!
Muchísimas felicidades por tu boda! Os deseo lo mejor ...y que vuelvas pronto para seguir con tus increíbles proyectos que tanto alegran nuestras vidas!
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals, Sreten! Considering how you found a lady who accepted and supported your Beemer wrenching when it was a hobby, and did the same when you started filming it, and then when you decided to do it full time, I'd say you got the ultimate petrolhead partner! Here's to a happy wedding, and an even happier marriage, dude.

Congrats Sreten! For the E36, check if the fog lights are working, if not that might be the cause of the ASC light. If that doesn't make sense, it's because I left out that the relay for the fogs and the ASC module are the same :). Super easy traction control delete if you want it.

Thank you for the updates and congrats on the marriage!! All the best! Congrats on the e36 too, very clean car and I agree the rear wing complements the very stock look nicely. About Lemforder, in my expereince, rear lower e90 balljoints and w163 balljoints were rather short lived. For the e90 they became noisy and for the W163 the boots torn, they were too thin.
You finally did it!! E36 baby!!

hi sreten I am delighted to see that you have acquired an e36 because I have often wondered when you were going to do it.

My wife and I owned a 1994 E36 325i that we purchased used from a BMW dealer when my son was around 1 year old (around 2002 or so). I remember my wife backing it out of the garage one day with our son in the back in his infant carrier when I noticed fuel pouring out from underneath the car. I quickly told my wife to turn the car off and then I opened the rear door and got our son out of there as fast as possible. I popped the seat out and found that the hose from the fuel pump popped off and the pump was just pumping gasoline out into the passenger compartment. That was a frightening moment that could have turned out really badly, many carbon fiber towels were sacrificed that day I can tell you. Anyway, I put the hose back on and tightened up the clamp and we never had any further problems with fuel spraying out of the car. Love your content. Makes me want to buy an old basket case of a BMW and fix it up.
Congratulations Streten! 🎉🎉🎉
