This is the progression of my e36 M3 evo that i have owned for almost three years. I've owned BMWs for the past 6-7 years and always loved the e36 M3, the plan was to keep the car original and clean but over time boredom sets in and you gotta switch it up. So....
How the car started out..
Then came the lowering, Eibach springs for now..
8000k xenons, de-lensed ellipsoids and GT style front splitter..
The car remained this way for a long time until i was offered a mega cheap deal on CSL reps for the winter..
I got bored of the tall skinny 18s soon though and the car went back to..
I always loved styles 5s but mis-information led me to think they wouldn't fit an e36 without arch work. After my own research i found out they would go right on with the right tyre So the hunt was on..
These came into my possesion 17x9 rears wearing 265 rubber
Once the fronts were sourced i had the shit job of splitting the wheels. Broke my sledgehammer shaft on the last centre! Then off to the coaters..

Then the rims were polished and bolts painted..
Then came the fitment, the wheels are 17x8front and 17x9rear with 205/40 Falken zeix912s all round. The original idea was to run 195/45 up front but at the time i couldn't source the Falkens in that size..
I also added additional sidelights to my indicators on an independant switch and the sidelight remote trick.
**(in the video the front sidelights are leds, these have been replaced with ULTRA 501 bulbs for a smoother dimming effect)**
Next up was the "French" fogs, always loved the yellow fog look and after a STANCEWORKS member advised me of a stained glass product.
This is up to date on the car, next will be coilovers to get more low and more stiff, smoked front indicators, possibly two tone centre caps for the rims and a unique interior look if i get around to finding the parts.
Cheers for looking
