  • OMP's E36 Touring

    Hi guys, im new here and thought i would get a build up going of m newly acquired car. I sold my honda civic ek which id taken from a 1.4 shopping car, to a great handling b16 engined car.
    went from:



    to:



    So once id pretty much finished with the civic i wanted a change of direction with something more low and less track orientated... when i came accross this...



    its sitting on bags and has m3 bumpers. Its now on style 5's as the breytons were going to be unnecessary expense and i want to make the car my own, I want to build this car myself so will go for my own wheels. Although i really like the breytons, i may go back to them at some point at a later date when iv done some stuff to the car when iv been through a few sets of other wheels

    so this is how it sits now, very dirty and bad quality phone camera make it look worse than the old pictures and the wheels do nothing for the car so i really cant wait to get it looking better than it ever has.





    Tiny bit cleaner, doing droplinks...



    Will get better pics asap as these pics dont show how clean this car is, a few little car park dinks but nothing big. Mileage still under the 100k, full service history, great condition cream leather interior, 18 button OBC and generaly very very clean, oh and its a 328i so it's fairly nippy for its size too.

        Good to see this car stayijg on the SW forums! You def. need some wide 3 pieces to do it justice, though!

            So today was a productive day, cleaned my leather interior a bit, gave my steering wheel a good clean (amazing what crap came off it) and managed to fit my bmw m3 front and rear strut town supports/strengthening plates.









            Also keeping the engine bay nice and clean, gave it a nice dressing today too

                So i bought some wheels the other day, went for m3 contours, however when they arrived they were repainted really badly so sent them back, turns out its a good job i had to send them back as when i had the rear of the car in the air the weekend i found the rear bags down to the canvas. So im ordering two new rear bags this week and adjust the mounting points slightly as they are chafing on the lower wishbone currently. So once thats done its time for an oil, filter and plug change along with fuel filter and pollen filter!

                  So this is what happens when your bags rub! (No one wants a rubbing bag!)

                  Up in the air







                  Nice fresh bags...

                    Yeah, can't recall the guys username at the moment though or I would do a search for the threads, haha.


                    Too bad about the rubbing bags.

                    Interested to see where you're taking it!

                    I'm planning one or two trips to the UK this year, would be cool if we could meet up and take a ride with your Touring, I'm very interested to see how the bags handle in comparison to my coils.

                        Yeah i found all te content from the previous owner, his name was 'wagon' and most deffinitley, you're welcome to see how the bags are, i think theyre like a good set of comfortable coils, noteably stiffer than standard yet still comfortable for daily use. Yeah the bags were bad! The guy before had mounted both sides too close the the one edge of the wishbone... So under pressure they were rubbing, was very dangerous. I have sorted it now though, moved them over so there is now plenty of room.

                        What shows will you be attending!?

                              Trying for Players @ Goodwoon in early June and maybe DC13 or the later Players event.
