Lacquer done test fit next week

Can't wait to see these bad boys on the car!!!

M50 finally unleashed and remap done today.bbtb still to fit money permitting but even with a slipping clutch the car feels like a beast unleashed now and amazing through the gears now and very happy with it.

I love what you did with the car man, it looks very clean!

I was always interested in upgrading my 2.8 engine from m52 to m50 with BBTB but was not sure about the extra power that the engine will gain.. Can you feel the mod or is just something minor?
Thanks,
Vlad

Wheels are looking good,

You should have test fitted one when it was yellow, that would have been funny

Mot passed once the handbrake issue was sorted and ride height once again dropped plus bbs rims gone and style 68s as a temp set for now till the style 32s get done.
hope a new job is in the pipeline so maybe it can move up a gear again.

m50 fitted and running great
remap this week coming
slipping clutch soon to be replaced
alignment done on a hunter machine and all good now

Pretty cool E36 you got there But I really miss the BMW badge on the trunk and some oem style exhaust tips. Apart from that: nice and clean build!

Thanks buddy nice to hear

yeah those wheels i had them five years were that color silver when i got them lol i promise im not the muppet but they do have leprosy my rat on the other hand i have encouraged leprosy still great fitment on your car brother and for free got some good wheels really and i know you will make them look awesome and from the rear arches i think its prob a good thing there not staggered but if you roll the dogs meatballs out of them you might be able to get your thin spacers in the back honestly tho people the photos dont do this car justice it looks a lot lower in person and andy has put a lot of love in to this build and a lot of work
full respect mate

Epic fail this morning as i was due to buy another set on top of the 32 and style 68s ive got and the intake boot and maf gave up on me some quick blast to bacons and second hand one replaced them and some other bits and shes firing again fine and looks as new condition:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

other wheels will have to wait for now

Anyway nipped to lennys(he is signing up soon with a gorgeous e36 328 coupe) and test fitted the style 32s and fooook me a big difference in look and rears need more rolling to be safe imo/
Any way they are e46 ones so dish is the same:frown:frown:frown:frown but still nice and will need more of a refurb then i wanted as some muppet sprayed them before without etch primer properly and bright silver paint and its all flaking off so i will start on them very soon and sort them out:hihi:hihi:hihi:hihi:hihi.

because they are not the rare ones i might do them in either a soft silver or anthracite grey like the bbs ones were at one point to freshen them up and keep it simple....no bright colours this time im afraid.

Anyway pics of fitment and the rat bike too
