Looks good. I'm not a fan of those wheels on E36s though.
And I may be one of the few that like the badge on the rear.

Looks like the side moulding on the front fender needs a little work.
Or maybe it's just the photo.

Looks cool, but I'm not really for tinted tail lights unless it's a white/silver car.

It has come a long way

I like the badge, I just don't like the chrome

your ti looks good, it looks like it's dropped, what kind of suspension is it?

What chrome do you object to? All I see is the exhaust tip. The wheel lips look more "polished" than "chrome."

I like the car man. I debadged mine as well. Yellow fogs are pretty sweet. Keep up the good work. What do you have planned for the car next?

Good Work Dude!...
Now get the Euro Tail lights... and the OEM wing and you're good to go

BTW
you could've at least left the Ti badge without the 318 in front...
KUDOS for the classy/clean upgrade!.... anyone that respects the bimmer like that gets 10 stars from me...

Your car is screaming for a corner delete mod. Otherwise, doesn't look half bad. Not a fan of the wheels, but it's not my car

A matte black badge sounds pretty rad come to think of it.

I was referring to badges in general, not the OPs car
