I used to drive an MKV GTI. I'm set on getting an E36. I was wondering what the belly side of those cars are like, what do you E36 guys smack off the ground the most, pan/subframe/beams etc. I feel like subframes on MKV's hang down pretty far, you can get one on the ground but the body will still be about an inch or more off the ground.

im not ridiculously low, but i scrape floor mostly, theres not a lot of chassis rail, but that scrapes too. pan sits fair high, dont recall any marks on it last time i was under the car.

yeah, dude, you're going to love it. my wife's mkv is pretty low (23" ftg), but my e36 is a lot lower with just over an inch frame rail to ground. i'd say (and she probably agrees) that the e36 is just as easy to drive even though it's lower. i have been scraping my frame rails a LOT though, but it doesn't affect driveability.025garage

Most 6cyl E36s have the fuel filter sitting next to the frame rails (I think it's got to do with the year), so relocating it might be a good idea if you want to go really slammed.
But apart from that, easy going.
