Welcome

What a great looking car. I love that green in combination with the green hood. Also the light interior with green piping gives that finishing touch

What colour are the carpets?

What dampers and springs have you gone for?

You just cant beat a classic Alpina

More pictures and information required please.

new roof going on, i wish it was my garage, thats the M&K interiors in kent, they are the only people i trust to do any work for me,

the car i have owned since april last year, it was owned by a man from tunbridge wells i bought it off him when it was in a very sorry state, since last year i have had quite a bit done but then had to stop whilst i spent some time with my newborn as money was tight but luck for me i had space to store car till i was able to do more, so now im getting final big bits done so car is fully restored without anything missed off so i can use the car daily again if i wanted.

I thought the carpets may be green, that is why I asked. We have a member Simon13 who has an E36 B3 3.2 touring in the same colour combo as yours. He also has the dark green carpets.

We are about to renew the suspension on our B3 Touring. Decided to use Alpina/Eibach springs with Bilstein B8 dampers up front and Bilstein B6 on the rear.

As said above. Never saw this car for sale, so it is a pretty lucky find. Rare as well

i think that touring is a different colour as i have searched everywhere to find anything in same colour but failed, when we had the paint mixed it came up a complete different colour so i had to go direct to glasrit to make sure paint was right it took them 3 weeks to get paint code sorted as so many very close but its a gruen the touring looks more dark, mines got a gold fleck in it, car was ordered from T C tunbridge wells for the directors wife as new so it has everything extra on it and i read the set up was very rare, as its so well spec'd and the colour combo

Lovely looking car , a really classy colour combination!

Did you try to sell this car in the last year, I seem to recall something on Andrew's e36, e46 b3 facebook page?

Gruen metallic. I've got the paint code somewhere it's made by glasurit all I know is it's bloody hard to match and it's got a slight gold in it and no where near as dark as Boston green

I did think of possibly selling it last year but now it's never to be sold money at the time was extremely tight and toys had to be considered to go but businesses picked up and I love the car.

Bmw Maidstone sourced the parts from wherever they needed to, to ensure it was kept as original as possible, I don't pay retail and got the whole kit for under 350 so I couldn't care what colour theyare but its what the car had on when new so it's what it's got now.
