Nothing more beautiful from the 90s than a e36 coupe 👌🏼😎

[@OGBemfa]

This one is a sedan, but yeah a coupe is nice 😃

[@ladin425]

Induction sound is incredible and so is your driving!

[@pablofigueroa4847]

The view of this video is great A great road to enjoy with your car

[@blz47]

Highly underrated channel 💯

[@OGBemfa]

Thank you so much 🫡

[@ESKATEUK]

Cool video, in all honesty I think this mainly comes down to how hard you’re pushing the car. The guy in front of you looks like he’s pushing a bit harder through them corners, your car definitely had more to give. The e46 while heavier has a superior chassis, which kind of counteracts things a bit.

[@bmxmaster1997]

good ol areh runs

[@Hesaar123]

Very nice video bro❤ coul you tell us wich intake setup you got?

[@leifnisi5345]

Would you ever do an overview of your car? Would be very interesting to see what modifications have been done. Great video as always!

[@OGBemfa]

Will keep that in mind! Thanks :)

[@Mad3838]

not a bad swap for the e36 the m54 is so strong

[@ESKATEUK]

And you say your car is stock, but it definitely doesn’t sound stock, I owned a 330ci for years and it didn’t growl like that 😂

[@siorzen1473]

330i in e36 is mad damn

[@arthurgopro8508]

The video is awesome !! What is your camera setup ?

[@OGBemfa]

Gopro mounted to my forehead with a head strap 😂

[@maxwellglobule6543]

Just want my swap🎉🎉🎉

[@tomislav335i]

Ako slučajno bude u Sloveniji neki 328i u dobrom stanju za donora možeš javit Imam 320i M52Tu pa bi prebacio na B28 330i mogu imat ali radije bi ovaj stariji motor Pozdrav!

[@ValeTTH]

Hi, I own an E36 and I'm thinking of changing my M52B20 to a B28 or a M54B30, just for road use. Do you have any experience with a M52B28 on E36? Does it differ a lot from the M54b30? I think that at low rpm any M54 is better

[@OGBemfa]

I suggest going for the M52B28 since it's the easiest and most original swap since you already have an M52 in it. The M54 requires some modifications, so if you want to keep things simple and original, the M52B28 is the way to go. But if you don't care about originality and difficulty then go for an M54 of course!

[@s.s77731]

Bro sent you to gapplebees 😂 anyways great video and slide control

[@OGBemfa]

Yeah, I couldn't keep up 🤣

[@Teo4.7.8]

How would it be if the e46 had the 3.0d 204hp with remap to 250? U tried it?

[@OGBemfa]

Haha, no, I haven't! 🤣 But I did get a ride in a remapped E46 330d once, and it pulled nicely. However, being a diesel, it only revved up to like 4,000rpm I think, before needing to shift, which is a bit weird for me.. I prefer gasoline 😆

[@sevdinilten]

Nice video. Where does the microphone sound come from?

[@OGBemfa]

Directly infront of the air filter box

[@jdmtuner2886]

hi, what type of microphone are you using?

[@sevdinilten]

@@OGBemfa Can you record the sound from inside the vehicle next time? Also turn on the camera that's how it's perfect 🤙🏼

[@OGBemfa]

@@jdmtuner2886 simple lavalier mic

[@OGBemfa]

@@sevdinilten There is also a cabin sound here. It's a mix of both. However, if I left only the cabin sound, you wouldn't be able to hear the engine at all. Check out my first couple of videos if you want to hear how bad the audio is from the cabin only.

[@VladiIliev]

What is the fuel economy during this type of driving?

[@OGBemfa]

Glad you asked that! I actually reset my average consumption before recording this video. When I checked it at the top, it showed 16.6 liters per 100 kilometers.

[@VladiIliev]

@@OGBemfa She was definitely thirsty hahahaha. Is this way of checking the consumption accurate? I've found that on-board computers can sometimes give smaller numbers than the actual ones.

[@OGBemfa]

I would say it shows more fuel consumption than it actually uses because it also accounts for idling when stopped, which can accumulate over time. However, that's typical for daily driving. I'm not sure if that’s the case for this type of driving tho… I would have to conduct a test haha

[@VladiIliev]

@@OGBemfa I agree that this is pretty good mpg for daily driving. I own 318i with 143 hp and it gives me around 17-18 l/100km when I'm doing city driving.

[@OGBemfa]

@@VladiIliev Well for daily driving I get 9.5l/100km (I mostly drive on open roads). This video is an extreme case and obviously I don’t drive like that everyday 😆

[@GAMER-MM]

What engine is e36?

[@OGBemfa]

It says in the title that it’s the same engine 😆. M54B30

[@GAMER-MM]

​@@OGBemfa sorry i don't see😂

[@forexengineering9877]

That E36 wasn’t playing great driving skills

[@OGBemfa]

Nope he wasn’t haha. Thanks!

[@haraszharaszenko2489]

Will there be pov from this drive from e36?

[@OGBemfa]

Not from this drive specifically, but there will be a similar style video featuring the E36 on the same road!

[@E46Quay]

First

[@northernmaten7676]

ur 330 is so slow i think it needs some maintenance

[@OGBemfa]

Haha, no. It’s just that I'm driving up the hill in the video, and it doesn’t really show on camera.

[@northernmaten7676]

@@OGBemfa the gap between you and the e36 is very big, well i suggest you do a drag race between your car and the e36 to see how much is the difference between the 2 cars

[@OGBemfa]

@@northernmaten7676 Well, the e36 has a shorter final drive, it’s about 200kg lighter, better flowing intake and exhaust, some minor ecu adjustments for better power delivery and so on. Plus as you can see I was granny shiftin’ not double clutchin’ like I should.. 🤣

[@northernmaten7676]

@@OGBemfa e36 is not 200kg lighter i own 2 e46 and 3 e36 i compared e36 328 and e46 328 weight the difference was 85kg and many people on e46 fanatics did scale these cars and came with weights close to mine so people who thinks e36 are 200kg lighter than e46 dont know shit

[@OGBemfa]

My E46 is around 1470 kg. He weighed his E36 before the swap, and it was exactly 1234 kg. It's a bit heavier now because of the engine, but it also has a sunroof delete (-17 kg) and a lightweight bucket driver's seat. So, I can tell you for sure that there is still around a 200 kg difference, if not more.

[@analmfortheloveofgod]

with the m54b30 swap did you upgrade the original gerage 5 manua ltranssmision in the E36, i heard that the getrage is not too strong and reliable

[@OGBemfa]

No it’s not upgraded. It’s stock 318is Getrag 250 transmission. It should handle this power without any problems.

[@fxck7901]

Ur gears so long, what ratio is ur dif??

[@OGBemfa]

Original, 2.93
