So i can please the masses? I didnt build the car for the internet




Yeh, i love being able to enjoy the car . Even now though its hard to drive some roads without the splitter getting abused.

I honestly dont think ill move back to stretched tyres unless its very light stretch. Cops are onto it these days , so i like to try and keep the car looking as "legal"(in australia) as possible

Yea i can see that being an issue on some of the roads is aus haha. Yea some are pricks. others are just like "meh isnt driving like a cock let him be" Im keen for low..... 2 cops in my street and i already sorta crab it up my driveway.. funz

Looks fantastic man! So purposeful and agressive! Love it... How are you finding the GAZ coilovers? I really like the idea of damper and spring in one unit on the rear!!

loving them so far, have only put maybe 1000 miles or so on them, but impressed to say the least.

the true coilover rear is so much nicer for jacking the car up, and runs a much lower spring rate than stock location.

ive ordered a mason engineering strut bar for it, the one that ties into the rear diff subframe mounts, to take up some of the stresses, but theres plenty of guys running true coilovers with no issues whatsoever, with just z3 reinforcement plates.

YES!

jk I just think it'd look little better... just my op

I think this car would run rings around your car as is.

Actually, I dont think, I know it would.

get rid of the balloon tires and go lower

Keep it as is. You can actually drive the thing hard with the height/tire combo. Plus fat tires always look boss. +1 for fat tires and no ride height drop.

You're right!

Look at this portuguese. With smaller tyres and wheel gap:

And still have ground clearance. But I respect your opinion!

thats all well and good with the oem m3 front bumper and lip, but you're obviously not looking at my car well enough.

i run an m3 gt front splitter, with the car at its current height, it has about the same clearance as the front lip in your pictures. if you like, tomorrow i will measure the distance between the ground and the splitter on a flat surface.

Love it, you should get a varis rear splitter. would really suit the car.
what's the point of those tings you removed of the caliper?

haha, still contemplating a varis rear splitter, been looking at the dtmfiberworks one, since its a bit cheaper. but its definately on the todo list i reckon

from what ive read, theyre weights to stop/lessen vibrations, probably noticeable on a brand new car that drives smooth as a babys bum, but on the 36 i wont even notice it :p

You need smaller tyres!

if i went smaller tyres, id need to lower it more to close the wheelgap, and if i did that, the front splitter would end up munted with the roads i have to drive, or id need to remove it, which isnt an option.

im happy with the height its at anyway, sure its not ground scraping like near every other e36, but i dont need to slam it to enjoy it.

thanks though!
