Popular Post danger Posted November 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2015 Decided I liked BMW E36 coupes. So I bought this Rough body and interior, manual gearbox. Was supposed to be a 2.5 but its only a 2L. Bonus was the gearbox turned out to be a ZF manual from a 328i or M3 Then I bought this 2.5 Auto Motorsport. Body tidy although doesn't appear to have been washed in its life. M3 Style front end and M3 style mirrors. Came on Bilsten shocks with Eibach springs which handle awesome. Average interior and rooted roof lining. Then I aquired this because it was super cheap. (far left) 320i non motorsport with motorsport kit front and rear, BBS's with new tyres and immaculate roof lining. So yeah, plan is to put manual in the silver one and tidy up the black one to sell for proft. I wasn't happy with the brakes on the silver one, which although better than the other two seem to fade quickly. I've brought E46 328i rear brakes, going from the factory 280mm x 10mm solid rear rotor to a 300mm x22mm vented one. I'll be getting E46 330i front brakes to raise the factory 286mm x 22mm vented rotor to a 325mm x 25mm rotor. Will do braided lines and M3 master cylinder at the same time then save to get some slotted rotors and performance pads all around. Ideally I'd like to get the silver one stripped out and handling as good as possible then work on upping the power. Would be a fun car to do a few local gymkhanas or hillclimbs in on the cheap 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a while going by how washed out the metal is/the weeds growing in it. Pity you don't have any roading connections to get it tidied up, and sealed. It would give me the shits to have that outside my place. Also, my condolences at you becoming a BMW owner. I guess you can't help bad luck........... At least your ones run I suppose. More than I can say for mine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yeah may get some beefier swaybars but it handles lush. With big brakes and a bit of body bracing I think it'd be a cheap RWD platform thats hard to beat. Then just need to find some more killerwasps.

yetchh Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've got one you can have.. it's a Japanese killerwasp tho and its lost a wing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I feel for you. I have cam locking blocks and associated paraphernalia if you need such things. Doing the Vanos seals on my b28 woke it right up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 ^ this is also relevant to my interests. I have a b28 in my e36 and it feels like it has two different power curves, 1 below 2500 and then a funzone after, but quite a marked step, thinking it might be Vanos related.
