E36 Build thread. Stance in progress

[Bystrov]

Hey Dudes.
ive been lurking around here for a while, so i decided to post my current e36 build. its coming along slowly but id Like to contribute my skillz'sness on here all i can!

so i Picked up this Gem for 3 grand... Yes these deals are out there... Future Plans are Nice wheels, something with a massive agressive lip and offset, Poke, stretch and drop... Getting Rokkor Coil overs and Stance this baby!

so hope you enjoy.















Frenched the stock headlights with Lamin-X and Fogs too






Picked up a M-tech bumper at a local Yard for 20 bucks.




Painted it, and mounted! makes a world of a difference on the car!

Thats a sick beamer! hope to do one myself soon, good luck!

[hi its me alec]

Holy shit, nice mileage

M bumper really does make a world of difference. Nice find for 20 bucks.

Your seats and auto trans need to take a hike though

[Bystrov]

I dont mind the seats at all... i was gonna do a manual swap, maybe later on, for now, the idea is Low and slow... however those 310R trannies are pretty dang awesome even for an auto. way more than i expected honestly!

[Bystrov]

got some wheels, trying on fitment. not sure how i feel about them on this car....

[hakhawk]

get some low, rears will be plenty fine, fronts should just need some camber. everything changes when you lower it though, as i found out with mine. see what the more experienced e36 boys have to say, ive only had mine a few months.

[Demoniac]

The rims looks great on your bimmer, keep on working dude.

[Bystrov]

i dunnno, im partial to these wheels... they look way better on e30's

[Bystrov]

I put the wheels up for sale if anyone wants them their i nthe FS section, i picked up another set of wheels. BBS style 42... the car they were on was in a fire. so i got them for 150 bucks, but they need alot of work and attention.. the goal is to repaint the centers, and polish the lips!

[SeanDub]

Can't stand Style 42's. Not a good choice IMO

[Bystrov]

Fixed all the Curb rash, and sanded them down 40 grit /80/120/400/1000/2000.

next step will be to polish the lips and powder coat the center mesh .

Will be keeping an eye on this

Looks like you've got some dodgy after market headlight units though (check out the gap between the top of the lights and the bonnet/hood lip). Should be flush more like this...



Cool project though, should look sweet when it's a bit lower

Headlights are OEM, i dont think i set them properly after i frenched them.

i'd say go with the first set of rims, they'd prob give you a better stance look if you slam the car and ad some spacers imo

[Bystrov]

So ive been messin with my car here and there when i got time.
i got some style 69 wheels off a X5 and decided to mount them.
this is the test Fit.
