One of the base things I did on my E36 M3 track car was upgrade the power steering line. Those are prone to failure.
Regarding E36 reliability, I actually specifically bought an E36 M3 as my track car because I wanted a reliable car that was on the cheaper side to maintain. There are known weaknesses, so as long as folks take care of those, these cars are really solid. I got 7 track days in this year with no failures. One issue was cooling issues on a 110°F day. I retrofitted the S54 oil cooler to take care of that.
The e36 m3 isn't a car you buy to just drive around. It's a car your take care of more then your wife and children.
LOL bound to happen! Glad you were able to make it home both times.. which reminds me.. mine has been making noise for a while now LOL
Dude my e36 is automatic slap shift, not manual, they only bad thing about the slap shift is that it has a delay in shifting, so you have to learn the delay timing and being a previous stick shift driver this is hard to get used to. The only issue I have with my e36 is is the water pump and ball join (ball joint because the car caught air.)
I've had a '95 and a '99 M3. I daily drove both to almost 300,000 mi. and never had a single problem with power steering, ever. I had to change lower control arm bushings but other than that I don't know what you did or didn't do to that car. Usually it's the ps lines under the bottom of the reservoir that leak in almost every e36.
Carly does not work for e36’s though
It does, you just need to have OBD2, so 96+
Can you recommend an OBD scanner for pre-96 cars. My 36 doesnt have the OBD2 port. Only the circle thing beside the fuse box
edit: Finally happy to see you to ditch the amber corners for a clear one!
The only thing that has left me stranded (but not really, a good hard smack on the seat while starting the car has worked more than once to get me home) where fuel pumps; e30, e36, and e46 all with over 200k on the pump though. If you have an e36, and you don't have a power steering fluid leak, you will (unless you have already fixed it). I have one of those ECS kits sitting in my garage waiting on me to have time to put it on the car.
One of the first things I did with my M3 was install that same rebuild kit. Aside from that one clip, honestly pretty fun!
Hard to believe that little clip is that hardest thing about it, but it is haha.
Mine actually stranded me the other day when my upper rad hose backed off. Fun time :).
If it came off once the plastic is likely broken and needs to be replaced or it will continue coming off
@@Sammyzuko No, I put on a new hose and forgot to tighten the clamp by the t stat housing. It was completely my fault lol.
Wanna come rebuild all of ours? haha
Haha..... The worst part was getting that stupid c clip off! It doesn't have the little holes in the ends to be able to use pliers.
Some kind of links ? I slowed down and froze the frame. I love the color of them
I was looking into an accurate scanner. My m3 is mostly garage. My codes maybe need to drive it more often.
What happened to the 6 speed swap???
It was bound to happen 😂
🤣
That intro was fucking sick
Im looking to buy one of these but im looking on Facebook marketplace but I cant find one on there and I need help
I better check my Power Steering system...
Does your glovebox flashlight work? Still have mine, 96 328 sport. Great channel man!
What all can carly do for the obdII style? I have a 97 m3 and just curious about the features
They have a lite version on the app. If you install it and play around you should be able to see. At the very least you can read and diagnose any codes, including manufacturer specific codes, monitor love data, clear codes, etc.
My 95 wbs with that easy stomp test and clear codes.
Z3 steering rack maybe?
My PS pump blew about 3 hours from home, I drove all the way back and just threw a new one in lol
You got lucky if you didn't damage anything else.
Everyone I know that did that had to replace their steering rack shortly after because the pump is pretty much sending metal flakes all over the lines and circuit, and those metal pieces will fuck up the rack seals.
Stock lines > Chase Bays kit. Or have a local hydraulics company make you new lines. This is for people in the comments.
What makes you say that stock lines are better than Chase bays AN lines?
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Properly manufactured crimps by Tier 1 suppliers are pretty good, vs some hoses with an AN fitting. Nothing against CB, I have their E30 rear brake line kit. But for a simple PS hose, factory replacement is best imo.
@@zk9964 people will always assume anything with a name brand or whatever everyone else uses is always better. OEM parts will always top 90% of other brand parts
I agree most OEM parts are better, but one big reason my car has been so reliable is because I replaced OEM parts with non OEM ones: plastic radiator with all metal one, plastic water pump with all metal one, electric fan, etc. These cars have been around long enough to find all the OEM weak points, and any BMW shop will tell you the stock power steering lines are prone to failure. Many tracks will not let an e36 on if they have stock lines because they blow so much when pushed and it greases up the track. I've also seen a lot of OEM parts replaced with crappy aftermarket ones so I know where you're coming from.
But where do you put the carly stick in in an e36 ?
A 96+ has an OBD2 port. These only work on OBD2
@@TreatsOnTheStreets i have a e36 320i but i only know where my 20pin OBD1 is, where is the OBD2 than ?
What year is your car?
@@TreatsOnTheStreets 1998
It is under the driver's foot well
What music do you use in the background? Digging it
Music is in the description of the videos 👍
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Wow im dumb thanks. Thanks!
Shoulda got a Honda🤣👌🏽
What air intake is that
Dinan carbon fiber
Do you have a X-Brace on yours?
Yes
@@TreatsOnTheStreets is it worth it, in your opinion? (Sorry if you did a video on it, haven't been subbed for long)
No problem, welcome to the channel man! If you expect a night and day difference you won't get it. It does make a small difference that is pretty much only noticeable when driving the car near it's limits.
Should’ve just had it towed, 300 is nothing over the thousands you already have into it
British motor dont work BMDW
Did you enter to win Tommy's Slicktop
How could I not? 🤣🤣
YOU don’t deserve a BMW at all as to how you treat them....😡
I bought it to drive it hard so that's what I'll do 🤣. If I break it, I fix it with stronger parts.
There are not so many around anymore...and it hurts to see how you amateur molest that Beauty...
Whats the point in getting a sports car/ performance car if you drive it like a camry? There made to drive hard
I've had mine for 18yrs and drive it like I stole it almost daily. They're made to take a beating
If you think you can drive it like a race car, then go on a track and not on a Walmart parkinglot...try to drift like there is no tomorrow... senseless bullshit !
BMW is 🗑
