BMW e36 - "On a budget" build.

[InSpeedWeTrust]

Just read through this thread again as I just got some style 66s myself.

Just a quick question, before you put the 205s on did you test them for fitment lowered on the old tires?

I ask because mine have new 235s on them and I have done little arch rolling but not lowered it yet. Just wondering if the natural camber helped with clearance. As I'd rather not get rid of these tires.

Thanks

Hey man! You definitely need 205 tires if you will lower your car. I test fit the rims with 235s and the car not as low and it was impossible to drive. Tires were stuck on all 4 corners. 205 40 is what i run on them and they fit nice also with 10mm spacers all around.
Hope this helps

looks so good! im in love with avus blue now. You just need a M3 LTW wing to complete it

[frozrr]

Quite jealous of this build! Looks sick dude!

Ugh I love Avus Blue so much. My one and only regret about buying my car is that it isn't Avus or Estoril blue.

Also, you make those wheels look fantastic. I'd never thought of putting those on an E36 before.

Where did you get that M3 bumper? How's the fitment? I need an M bumper for my vert so badly.

Thanks dude!!

I bought the bumper off from Ebay and the fitment is very close to the OEM one..

I haven't been on here for a while, but I've enjoyed this thread a lot and your car looks great. "on a budget" is my middle name and I'm inspired by how much can get done without going crazy with the $$$...

Which exhaust is that by the way? I'm looking for something like that for my new budget E36 cabrio build and the 14816 Magnaflow although very nice is just too pricey for not being a full catback.

I bought it with a shitty magnaflow exhaust, you probably saw i in the previous pictures.. I did cut the muffler though and replaced it with the one you see now. It is only the ending, the muffler, it's an RS Tuning muffler, bought off of Ebay with 80$
You'll laugh I know, but that was a great deal for the way it looks and sounds.
