Zinnoberrot

If you were wondering what the title meant. It means Vermilion Red in German. BMW Paint code A82. One of the prettiest hue's for a BMW. And it was this lovely shade that draped this lovely example....

This very clean and beautiful E36 is Sanka Jayasundara's pride and joy. I had heard about this car before, and what I heard about it was too good to be true. But when I was lucky enough to see it personally I have fallen head over heels for it!

This 5 year long project has seen its fair share of mods, starting off life as a M43 318i, the engine was swapped out for an M50 Non Vanos 2.0 and now its been powered by a 6 Cylinder 2.8 engine! Amazing!

The front end has been uplifted with the ever so famous M Tech front bumper and smoked kidney grilles. Angel eyes too have been installed, which is a must on any Bimmer!

Lovely side profile's these cars have. Looks have been improved with the addition of the M Tech side skirts.  16' wheels from a much more modern E90 complete the look!

M Tech rear bumper is on its way. A subtle spoiler has been integrated into the boot lid. Keen eyes will also notice the more modern side mirrors. 

The clean and simple look has been carried over to the interior too!

A more sportier M Tech Steering wheels has been installed. But what takes the cake in here are the lovely cream leather seats!

Creature comforts include digital climate control and 18 button On Board Computer. It also sports the original short shift kit. 

I will end with a beauty shot of this lovely car. Thank you Sanka for showing me around your car!
