- I have been back and forth on the look I like the most for over 2 years, and today we finally decide to make a change modifying the e36 m3 and see how it goes. We stop by to see what Riley thinks of the new headers and the front end, take him for a rip, and he puts the k04 to work in the golf 1.8t! Enoy!

First
I just bought a 98 M3 from an estate sale with a hundred and forty Thousand Miles and paid $2,500 for it it was idling rough and I fixed it for twenty bucks cleaning the ICS valve and replacing the the little piece of hose between the throttle body and the ICS valve win win I spent $1,750 putting new brakes and rotors tires and tinting the windows so far I absolutely love this vehicle
I've tested every set of e36 corner lights I could get my hands on and like the TYC Smoked the best. They're better quality than DEPO and have the critical double locking tab. With DEPO the single tabs wouldn't fully lock onto my ZKWs and the corners could pop out at speed unless I drilled and zip tied them.
If you want them darker I suggest a layer or two of light tint film.
Yeah, the smoked corners and yellow fogs look much better in my opinion. Really a nice combo with the black grilles and silver paint. You get that nice pop of yellow color with the dark monochrome of everything else. Some people also tint their highbeams yellow, which I think looks great as well. Takes some work though, since you gotta take apart the whole headlight assembly to do it.
What’s next on the agenda? I’m thinking wheels. ARC-8’s are the classic choice, but that might be a bit cliche for ya, haha.
Also, SOLID choice on the smoked corners; that’s what I got. The “clear” corners stick out like a sore thumb and really make a car look old
Great tinting match! I really like the eliminated amber look! LED bulbs, depending on the color of their heat sink/housing, also reduce the amber that ends up showing up from the amber bulb being mirrored in the reflectors. I used them to give my headlights a similar look, since the original bulbs were giving off some amber look, even when not illuminated.
i'm not a fan of the bright yellow fog lights. you do you, but that's just my personal opinion, since you asked what we think
I appreciate the input man! Solid!
my man had the car for so long n is still in love with it. if that doesnt tell u how great are E36s idk what will. love mine
In case you don't want the corners to be lit, and only for blinkers, cover one of the filament contacts under the bulbs with electric tape. I did that when I had clears.
I prefer the orange corners. Gives the car a nice contrast with the silver and makes it look more retro? The car is 20+ years old after all. But that's just me, good video as usual 👍
Love the appearance modifications on your M3! I just got my 1997 m3 e36 3 months ago. Only has 17000 miles on it, my first BMW. Your channel is helping me understand this vehicle a lot more with the how too's. Keep the videos coming and keep driving it like you stole it.
i love how the amber corners accentuate the vintage feeling. no modern cars have full amber lenses anymore, just the bulbs. aesthetic mods like this just make the car look cheaper to me, especially as this is entering the collectors market, where only (basically) stock examples are worth a premium. same goes for rims, window tints, exhaust. just my thoughts.
Dude, also the corner light bulbs have 2 nubs in the back; on each bulb tape one of them off with a tiny square of electrical tape...
This turns off the corner lights when your headlights are on, and only activates them when you use your blinkers/ hazards. Looks better when you have the smoked or clear corners. No real reason for the actual lights to be on anymore (when you don’t have the ambers on)
Alright I’m done. Nice car!
Dude that sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip I'll look into it and see if I can figure it out.
That’s a great tip. I’ve had clear corners for 6 years and somehow never knew that.
Yup this haha
Like the new look lights! Both corner and fog.
“That tip is huge” lol.
That’s what she said 😭
I prefer the smoked amber corners you had before. It was so unique. No one had those. Everyone just has regular clears or ambers.
I guess I am a traditionalist as I like the amber corner markers better. I have left them on my E36 M3. Tastes and preferences...so enjoy what you like! Car looks great either way.
I'll go with the smoked corner lights, without the yellow fog lights, it should be all smoked, I hope you win that race haha.
You should maybe try to get the silver tutn signal bulbs, so they are invisible from the outside, but still glow amber. Looks so good like this! I just tinted my turn signals too 😄
I forget which episode, but complained about being too tall and your legs hitting the door. I suggest getting a steering wheel spacer/ extender. That way you can move your seat back and still be able to reach the steering wheel. If you can't find one online, I think any local machine shop could make you one fairly cheap.
Did not care for the after until the lights came on. Looks killer. 🔥🔥🔥
Great vid! Sad golf though, they are kinda incomparable, can't compare VW to BMW especially not e36 to any golf... I understand it's cheap and all but I mean... lol
Good job on the website! Like the idea and effort, awesome move!
I'm a fan of white blinkers, really does change the car. I'm driving with white ones too. Change them every now and then, it's awesome and cheap thing to do.
Kind of a fan of yellow fog light covers but since your car is artiksilber and even blinkers are white/gray now, i really don't feel it fits there... Would keep 'em white/smoked, really goes well, for me fills in the car much nicer than that sharp yellow...
Overall Good Effort bud, keep it 💯
Cheers!
Hahaha. You sound salty that a econo shitbox with less than 4k total investment can hang with the almighty e36 m3. It’s true. There really is no comparison. They’re just fun slow cars.
@@r1l3y91ef 🤣 lol no it cannot measure with the m3. my 325i has 215hp now, my friend's 328i has 240hp. they both cost less than 5k
Sibi just wait until next video 😁
Always Love the look of clear corners on e36/46. I feel like the ambers give the car an older retro look but the clears make it hard to tell what year these cars are from. They still look modern.
Both versions look great. I prefer the orange because of the contrast with the silver paint. Plus I think it makes the car look more aggressive. Either way you have a great car bro 👍🏼💯
It looks really clean but I personally love the orange ones too
smoked gray turn signals + foglight cap = perfect
Smoked signals and yellow looks great.
Wait your friend works for Parker Hannifin ?
These kinda mods were popular in the early 2000's. Now that the cars are getting more rare and a bit collectible I like the factory look more.
the way you had it before is my absolute favortie e36 on the internet. Im not a fan of the wheels but honestly apart from that its a beauty
Really love the transformation with the smoked euro blinkers and its look with the silver
Juat got those same corner lights... So clean on my black on black on black e36
The new yellow fog lights with smoked corners are a good look for your car! I always think Euro spec when I see yellow foggies.
Yellow fogs is what i really hate but the orange blinks are better in my opinion
I'm curious, have you ever considered a rear diffuser? I keep looking at mine, seems like something is just missing on the back of the car behind the rear wheels. I was thinking about getting one for mine but I think I'd have to paint it to color match it.
Yellow fogs it's a magic! Thanks for video 👍
you should dyno it, i think everyone is curious about the power of this car.
Where is the 6 speed swap? Do you still have the transmission?
Nice touch. I really want to do a pre face lift grill and nose cone. I think the recessed kidneys look a bit more mean
Can’t stand clears personally. But good to see you enjoying your new addition.
I didn't think I would like the yellow fog lights, but with the orange deletes it looks sharp. Maybe paint your brake cailpers yellow to add more accent... I painted my BMW blue.
They also sell clear with smoke. That is what I bought for the same reason. The plain clear signal lights are WAY to bright next to the black inside painted headlights.
Great looking car. I’ve been trying to find a loon a like of my e36 M3 and this is about it now. Looks to be titanium silver, Contour wheels, yellow fogs, everything. Except my headlights are foggy and I have the stock spoiler
I love the tint. I'm trying to pick some up, but it has a Euro and NA option. which did you go with?
If you have euro headlights you'll choose euro. If you have the stock US headlights you'll choose those. 👍
As an e36 owner with Smoked corners and yellow fogs! Welcome! Lol
Bro do the pre facelift swap. It's SO much more of a clean look
Sweet man!!!!!
I have the same fog lights they are so great
Looks 🔥 man! Just ordered a set of clear tailights for my sedan!
Nice!
Clear lenses for the win!!!
I have a question : how did you make your turn lights turn on with the rings ?
They are tapped into the corner lights for power. When you turn those lights on it powers the halos.
Brotha, you should drop in some Shrick or sunbelt cams... the Dyno sheets all over bf.c have s52s w/ cams around 240-260 WHP all day.
Meanwhile, us M52 guys are happy with 200-220 WHP after cams, etc... BUT we’ll never have the m3/S52 torque 🤷♂️
I have thought about that. I love the high revving N/A experience. Cams are pricey though! Spend a bit more and you could go turbo with a lot more power. Hard decision!
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Na has a particular sound.
For sure for sure; it’s a lot of money for not that much HP relatively. Biggest power mod for an NA car but the most expensive. Anyway, the e36 turbos are everywhere these days... just sucks for us here in CA because we won’t pass smog :( so we could do it, but would have to remove every 2 years to pass mechanical/visual smog tests, then reinstall. Not worth it for us here in CA. It’s a bummer
Chris S agreed! Thats the only reason i havent turboed my M3
since u did headers, get a supercharger from hyde motorworks, and tell them jermaine / imschwaggy sent you . u will get a pretty good discount . they're very much worth the money . after my supercharged e92 m3 build is "done" im getting a m5x/s5x swapped e30 and supercharging it with one of their kits .
Don't you like the prefacelift kiddneys better?
nice 316i man! love the colour
left side looks way better keep it oem looks classy
phase 2 of this car. Less OEM. More tastefully aggressive
Hi do you know where I can find that spoiler you’re using. Love your build and vids by the way!
Watz up breadrin how is that beautiful machine of urs . i want to ask yu where did yu get that front lip to buy cause I'm looking one to put on my e36 . God bless
Hey! You can find it on my website. The link is in the description 👍
I feel like with some body colors the amber corner lights look miles better compared to other body colors
clean and simple looking maddd nice
get rid of the yellow
What kind of halo/angel eyes are you using?
They are on my website if you'd like to see the details of exaxtly what they are. Link is in the description.
what rims do you have ?
Hey if you had a track day would it be snacks on the tracks?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hell yes it would!
Ambers are the best.
Hey, i just found your channel by looking up some issues i have with my 1998 E36 i just bought, and i wanted to know if you work at a shop, i live in SLC and i would like to ask you some questions if you have the time.
HELP!
I ordered the headlight but after two weeks they got back to me and said they don't make them anymore. They said DEPO ZKW were still available. I'm not sure but I think they are the same but without the led ring (which is the main reason I want them other than being glass that wont fade) Can I order these and add the LED ring on myself? Do you know of any other place that still sells them?
Did you order it from the link on my website?
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Thanks for responded so quick. I basically restored my entire 328IC and I was looking forward to the headlights the most. I think I did, but it was an old EBAY seller that was also out of stock so I found them by Body Kits. What is the link again? I will look
Amber corner lights
Looks awesome 😎
What’s the little gadget in his left air vent?
Ultragauge
Thanks man!
Big fan of both the whip and u...
#inspiration
1.39....why does he look like a giant when he is next to the car...?? how tall is he ???
love and enjoy every video mate, but the best look is the stock look. The look when you take the car is way better then after all that chines optiks.
Frankly, the Euro cars looked more like this. Euro M3s came with clear corners and yellow fogs were equipped in some markets. So this isn’t far from stock at all, minus the angel eyes.
@@TranceFur the yellow ones are only for France i think, for the corners, in Europe stock they came with yellow corners, here in the past swap with the white optick was e big deal, now the trend is back to stock orange, but it depends for the color of the car. But my opinion is that if Gavin is bored with that look, he must go with GT2 wing, gt spliters in front, and some BBS RC/RS wheels :)
My e36 gets too hot and while he did that little pull at the end i watched the temp gauge 😭😭
You look tall as shit next to the M3 😂
That's because I am 6'4" 🤣
in what world are different colored light housings a transformation
What is your obd2 screen thingy??
Ultragauge
Which engine is inside?
S52B32
@@TreatsOnTheStreets thanks
E36 😍
Yellow fog! NO! NO! NO! NO! it makes e36 looks older than it is... France also not using yellow fog lights since that requirements expired since 1993... (yellow fog lights introduced in 1930 up to 1993 after that people use white!
U been wanting to race for how many centuries now?
About 10 centuries. When we were going to race his engine blew. Over revved and broke a valve off which destroyed the head. He has swapped in a new engine and transmission which obviously took a while. Now his new engine has a bad head gasket losing compression in cyl 2 and has to change that. Parts on the way lol.
Treats On The Streets this VW needs two check engine lights 😂😂👌🏻
\[#_#]/ run 24psi through any car and beat on it daily it’s going to lose reliability. When your car sees that kind of pressure and has 242k come see me. Haha. It’s just a fun daily anyway. I have a new car in the works. We may do a video on it once I get more progress.
Love your vids...can you send me some info on that info screen you have on your left air vent...please..lol
It is an ultragauge.
Dont like the new fogs and the angel eyes
How do you not like angel eyes tf 💀
A.T X LEDs look wierd on 90’s cars
Web site doesn't work good. :( "This site can’t be reached. took too long to respond."
Not sure what is going on man. That may be an issue with your internet connection. Site loads easily for me an a few others I just had test it. LMK if you still have issues later.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Thanks for fast response! My Internet connection is fine. But... I live in Ukraine. Ha-ha.
