Dutch BMW E36 OEM+ build

[Draggin_ma_balls]

Would love a bimmer!

Didn't mean hella-stretch... Just a little for needed clearance..
These are balloons...
Speedo difference is minimal to none...

Just my 2 cents..
Nonetheless .. Proper car!

17" Is just the right size on 36's..

Huge tire pressure leads to bad grip, some people are concerned about this including myself.

Your current wheelsize + 2 inches + the flattest tire you can find = same on speedo as current size

Nothing wrong with stretch if your tire pressure is high enough


Lekker bakkie verder hoor

Lol defenitly no plans for 19"

[iloow]

I want to stick to the OEM tyre-size for several reasons;
- Form & function; I drive the car hard(don't trust the stretch)
- Don't want the speedometer to be off
- It suits the OEM+ build

I really like this setup, looks like a car not like a piece of shit. Engine mods are nice things to have in there also.

Thanks man, that's exactly where I aim for

You need some skinny tires!

A little update, rolled the rear fenders, fitted 20mm spacers in the front and 12mm in the rear
Rear wheels still rub a little so some rolling has to be done

Hi all, I'm Wouter from the Netherlands.
Being here for a while and reading a lot, I thought it's time to show my own build.
This is my BMW E36 323i coupe exe from 1995 in this pic is almost as I bought it, couple thing changed like amber pinkers for white OEM and OEM 325i exhaust system.
The BMW was on style 22's 17x7,5 et 41 and was lowered with Eibach Pro-kit on OEM dampers.

I started working on the power of the engine, changed cams now S52B32US, full 325i exhaust system, M50 intake, debaffled airbox with K&N filter, fan delete and custom chip on dyno. Result from 170hp->230,5hp!
So now the car had to be lowered more, so I bought Bilstein B10 Power kit and staggered OEM wheels style 39's 17x7,5 et 41 225/45 and 17x8,5 et 41 245/40 and I painted bumpers and skirts.

Of course this wasn't low enough so new goodies have been bought. That's my old man behind the wheel

V-maxx XXtreme coilovers, height and damping adjustable set made in the Netherlands. OEM E36 M3 strut mounts and E46 M3 cabrio RSM and all other OEM stuff needed.
Coilovers front and rear at lowest position.

Quite disappointing :.(
So helper springs in the front and in the rear spring pads and perchs had to go too.

Now it's a lot better, so now I'm busy with spacing front and rear, bought a new goodie.

Will update soon.
P.S. sorry for the dirty car and pretty bad pictures
