Currently waiting on some style 32s 17x9 in white that Im going to pick up from jacksonville next weekend.

Than I plan on doing a whole front suspension overhaul, I needed new control arms and bushings, as well as new struts so this is the opportunity to get some new coilovers.

Ft. Lauderale, you?

[edirty6eddie]

Same here, lol. Davie area. I didn't know there were so many E36's owners in the area on S|W

[CallousNinja]

I still have yet to go to that weekly meet in Davie, but hopefully next weekend ill make it out there

as soon as i get my car fixed up a little, i'm gonna go again. It's pretty decent too. a mix of every car culture; muscle, tuner, euro, etc.

Can't wait to see the style 32s on it. Looks good. Lower it quick.

My shopping list if I were you would include:

Coilovers (if you can find a nice used set of Ground Controls, Bilstein Gruppe N *I found a set 5yrs ago for $600)
Adjustable rear control arms
Camber plates or Shims and extended bolts to add front camber
Low offset 17x9f, 17x10.5r mesh wheels

Buy used, so when you sell the car you won't be losing a fortune.

I'd ditch the Cosmo CAI if there's any chance of deep puddles in your neck of the woods. Good luck!

Already working on it, talking to a guy on bimmerforums about a used Bilstein Pss9 set for 300, if that doesnt work out ill probably just get racelands.

but should be doing a lot of work on it this weekend

Finally got my style 32s!







I did not think I would like the white as much as I do, I wanted to do a matte black or gun metal but I really like the look, what do you guys think?
