Straight outta Germany - Vol 2: E36 Touring

[Dr.AK]

Fuck life.

I killed a street sign today with the Touring.

There's a dent in the rear quarter panel, just below the tail light.

FUCK.

[Dr.AK]

Just one thing to say:

Your car made me register!!

Nice to hear.

BTW i have some questions to ask, are the e38 styling 32 a direct fit into the e36? Isn't the radius of the hub different same as the e39? How did you center them?

E38 hub is the same as the E36. Only E39, X5 and X6 have a bigger hub. The E38 fit wheels are a direct fit, perfect OEM sizing for the E36.


Btw. I bought new wheels today.

8.5x17 ET13 + 9.5x17 ET20.

To be honest, I don't know myself yet. Still looking... I've got a few ideas, but nothing I'm 100% set on.

I want 10x17s for the rear, though.

[MadMax]

Sounds Good what 17s are they going to be ??

[Dr.AK]

I need style 32s

Mine are for sale, hint hint.

Originally I was going to keep them, maybe have them widened to 9s and 10s, and paint them either a dark graphite or bronze... and I was going to wrap the car satin black, but after some more thoughts, I won't do that. I'll rather invest the money in some suspension parts.

Hopfeully there's still a set of the AST Zero Clearance coils left by the time I've scrounged enough money together...

Also, I'm going back to 17".

And adjustable camber arms in the rear.

Rape my rear fenders.

I think I'm onto something good here.

Seems it's getting time for a new bumper...

I think it lasts longer by repairing well

[EThirtySicks]

Front bumper is going to the painter next week if I can make it.

As for M-mirrors...

NEVER, EVER will I install M-Mirrors on any car I own. I **** them with a passion. In fact, if I ever were to buy a car with them on, even if it is an M3, I'd straight rip them off and replace them either with the stock blocky mirrors, which fit the shape of the E36 about 1000000000 times better, or with some aftermarket mirrors like the Hartge ones or something.

+1123581321. Agreed! I need style 32s

where'd the wheels GO??? jk man looks so sick. im a sucker for wagons

[Dr.AK]

Ripped my bumper off yesterday while visiting a friend, so had to do a quick on-the-spot repair of the broken bumper mounting points using a soldering iron.

Sick tourer.

[Dr.AK]

Beaten but not broken...

One of the mouldings keeps popping off, the rusted doors are still not replaced, haven't washed the car for about 2 months and now it's sitting on winter wheels...

[Shinji Hirako]
