  • Red E36 Touring

    I've been posting up in the Builds section quite a bit the past few days, figured I'd come and say hello seeing as I'm in good old blighty and have been to a few of the meets in MK.

    This is my Touring - it used to be on bronze Rotas, but I put E34 M5 Contours on it last week, and it looks much better now! I usually think people writing out a full spec is a little bit ghey, but here goes anyway:


    '99 E36 323i Sport Touring

    Engine:
    2.5-litre straight-six
    aFe induction kit
    Fox cat-back exhaust
    Evosport power pulleys
    Traction control removed

    Chassis:
    Spax RSX coilovers
    RPM camber/castor-adjustable front topmounts
    Rogue Engineering rear topmounts
    Eibach anti-roll bars (though rear not installed yet, I broke a bracket so I have no ARB)
    Eibach/SPC adjustable rear camber arms
    Powerflex polybushes
    Meyle Heavy Duty front lower arms and ball joints
    Meyle Heavy Duty front ARB droplinks
    TAR-OX G88 discs and Strada pads all round

    Wheels/tyres:
    8.5x17 ET13 (front) and 10x17 ET15 (rear) Contours, silver centres with diamond cut dishes.
    195/45 and 215/40 Falken Ziex ZE912s.

    Exterior:
    M3 Evo splitter
    M3 rear valance
    Roof bars removed and carbon roof wrap
    Lamin-X tint film on indicators and fogs
    6000k HIDs
    Matte black headlight shrouds,
    323 badge removed
    Kidneys painted black
    US spec numberplate blank strip (not fitted in most pics)
    Arches rolled & pulled

    Interior:
    Momo steering wheel
    Alcantara gaiters with ///M stitching
    E46 Clubsport gearknob
    Flocked glovebox door, trim panel and wing mirror backing plates


    I think that's the lot... Here's some pics.
























    Hope you like it!

    Build thread is at http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=11730 - doesn't really kick off until pg3.

          Thanks - not too many plans now tbh. I want to get it better prepped for some track work (on the Rotas) and generally make it a bit quicker, but I'm in no rush. Other than that, just some tidying up to do really.

              Cheers Josh. As I said on my build thread, I originally bought these wheels to do up and sell on, but couldn't be arsed and got them professionally done by Dips @ Custom Cars. So they've ended up costing me more than I thought - they will end up for sale eventually though, I have another project to fund

                          Nope, M50 fannymold - the 2.8 one is the same as mine, and the 2-litre one. It's very restrictive, once I've got this manifold on with a BBTB I should be looking at around 200bhp. Not loads, but enough.

                          And thanks

                            ah yes i remember now my mate had that fannymold on his 2.8 thats where i was getting confused lol. 200bhps will be nice, i have been thinking about putting a 535 lump in my e30 but im not to sure yet

                              That sounds about right it's kinda confusing with it being an older 2.5 manifold and what-not.

                              200bhp will be very nice, even if I can only use it in a straight line because of rubbing.

                              Go for it, there are plenty of 3.5-litre E30s to be inspired by. We're in the middle of a 4.4 V8 E30 build
