E36 from Essex, UK !

[edirty6eddie]

love how the white looks on it, is it arktisgrau?

[Robsy]

Ok so I never updated this thread because I'm lazy.....basically got the LM's al fitted up and it looked like this








Then I got bored of it and brought a Mitsubishi Evo 8 Fq300...



Then I realised that I was going to kill myself in it so changed to a an import Ek9 civic type r...








Then I got bored of that so sold it a few days ago and now I'm going to be getting back on with the e36 to get it ready for a snowboarding trip to Austria end of next month. LM's were sold to a dude in Italy so they have gone, I'm in the process of refurbing some style 5's so once the shit cold weather and snow clears ill be getting more pics and updates.

Oh also had a guy roll front arches and roll and flare rears giving me an extra 10mm flare on the rear.

[Robsy]

So adaptors came and i couldnt help but sling one of the wheels....still waiting on tyres before they can be mounted.


Also gave the inside of the barrels a lick of matte black paint to tidy them up, look alot neater than brake dust plastered all over them.


Fingers crossed tyres come tomorrow then its a friends garage saturday to fit poly bushes, tyres + wheels and rear strut brace

[Robsy]

Thanks for the comments guys

Adaptors have arrived from the U.S now to finish building wheels whack on some tyres and start ballin

[slimadi]

Welcome to S/W looks a promising build your off to a good start

[Jorge]

Reverse mount for the extra offset !

Gonna look good, may need more than just 25mm adapters but that is going off E46s, not 36s. Probably nearer 30-35.

have a small update.....

Seeing as me and my bud are taking a road trip over to Mayrhofen in Austria to do some snowboarding i thought id get myself a roof rack for the boards....


Also decided to paint my kidneys black as the rest of the trim on the car is black....


And finally got my centre's back from powdercoating, had them done matte white. Got my polish on and starting to build them back up, here is one of the 9J front, just need to get some lock tight and bolt it up. Also unsure whether to reverse mount the face's or not...Opinions please

Reverse mounted..

nice man, whells must of cost twice the value of the car?

Yeah man even the coilovers were more than the car !

The guy who was selling the BMW didn't have a clue on how much it was worth. E36 325i coupe with a fully documented 105k, rust free for sub £500 is bargain of the year

You might be alright with that spacer size actually, some reason I thought 36's were low offset.

As for tyres depending how much stretch you want..

195- 205/45 - front.

205-215-225/45 rear.

i would personally go 205f and 215r.

Im sure the 36's have a high offset, i could be wrong though!

Yeah i will probably go for tyres similar to those sizes, thought they would be expensive but for a set of 4 toyo's delivered its only £340, pleasently suprised

you'll need some thick spacers thats for sure

Looks a good start though! bet the wheels wernt cheap.

Where in essex are you? I'm just past saffron walden.

Well they 5x114 fitment so with a 25mm 5x120 to 5x114 adaptor im assuming that will be plenty

Nope not the cheapest, they were originally intended for my s14a but they have been sitting around for ages so thought i had better fit em to something

Im just outside Colchester dude towards the coast
