I would point and laugh about how much oil it takes, but I'll keep quiet on that front
Bargain for the money
Make awesome dailies these things. Just dont start pulling it apart - i hated mine after i had finished doing all the work to it, wished i had left it standard and used it as my daily
Want some 18's for it? I'm selling the 18" e60 replica's off my E39 if your interested. would look hench on an e36
Good choice , the m50 engine is awesome , one of my e34's has the same lump.
Got my Mtech rear diffuser through the post:
Much prefer the rear end now
Got my cheap as chips coilovers as well
Spot the homo:
Fronts done:
Rears are a spring and damper setup with a height adjuster on the top of the spring:
All finished:
Now I was worried that cheapo coilovers would be awful. They are a huge improvement of standard though. Not crashy, turn in massively improved, understeer reduced and road holding much better. They really tightened the car up. I'm really chuffed
Looks a good car mate. and work so far is nice and subtle
Now you need a twin exhaust to fill the hole in the diffuser. I'm surprised it doesn't have one actually, I thought it was only the 4-pots that had the single pipe
And damn, that car looks clean underneath considering how much E36s rust

Its a 1997/8 car so there shouldn't be much rust, and they are made properly
Later cars....generally less rust but yeah there are exceptions....
My 328i is also a 97/8 car and has no rust at all! From the ones I have seen they don't rust anywhere near as bad as S bodies!!
