Daily E36 street drifter

[FunfGang]

I really want a 4door e36 as a dgaf daily/ drift beater, and those are definitely on my list for OEM wheels I'd choose.

Love the car, those wheels look awesome on e36's.

Thank you, I really love them and I feel like I don't see a lot of people use them, honestly that was one of the reasons I really likes the wheels to begin with.

car looks nice dude. loving the stance, little bit more space in the back and it would be perfect. What are your future plans for it?

Right now 10mm spacers and 3-3.5 degrees of camber up front and 10-12mm out back and try and keep the natural camber it has now, I would like a smaller profile tire in the rear and a better stretch up front. Im also on the look out for another set of 9's for the front.

Damn that looks good, especially that profile shot.

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate the positive feedback. I've ben looking for a clean coupe for so long and I just fell in love with this color.

These are the camber plates I've ordered, they come with a warranty and I've read good things about them, ill report how they ride and how noisy they are. I mean for $102 shipped with a 1 year warranty how could I go wrong. I just didn't want to spend more on my camber plates than I did on my coils by going with ground control or TC kline

Let me know if anyone has used them.

Love it, and also that 'that steez' slappie.

Thanks man, yea I try and support smaller companies if I can.

Very nice. I like where this is going. Are those Style 32's on the black one? Rear looks a little deeper than a 9 inch would. What suspension does that one have?

Thanks homie, The black car is my best friends 328is, they are staggered style 32's 9's out back he's got a lot of fender work to make them fit that low with stock camber.

Recently started making progress on my 97 328is coupe. Its my 5th BMW and my 3rd e36 and it has been by far the most well maintained, and i must say it makes such a difference buying a car that was taken care of. When I got it had had an M3 interior and front bumper and some Bilstein coil overs.

When I got it it looked like every other grandpa e36, This was the coils on the lowest settings front and rear, they were quality, but they had seen better days and where better suited for a track build so I sold them to offset the cost of my next purchases.


I came home for Christmas break and had ordered Jom coilovers ( I know everyone thinks that unless you are on BCs or Broadways then your doing it wrong, but it doesn't matter to me and I'm not going to buy coilovers that cost half the price of my car so I don't care what you say in regards to coil over choice /rant) Some Camber plates with pillow ball mounts to replace my worn out top hats, started searching craigslist for wheels.


Now, the camber plates never showed up so i started to investigate and the Ebay seller was SUPER helpful, and even sent me a new set free of charge, we are guessing UPS lost the package. (Tuningpartsmaster have great customer service) They should be arriving tuesday hopefully.

So I cleaned the shop and got to work took about 4 hours to take off the old stuff and put on my new coils and wheels. The rears have no adjusters and need to be cut, or shorter springs purchased. The fronts I removed the helpers and they are less than half way down.

The final result made me happier than i could have imagined with such little time and effort.


I still need to order some spacers and new tires and then find a appropriately geared diff and put a rebuilt oem LSD in it. I was going to weld it but my last 2 welded diffs kinda wore me out, especially on a daily. Im going to run about 3 degrees up front 0 toe and 3 in the rear max, I know a lot of people are trying to be super jdm, Formula drift, whatever you want to call it, and run zero rear camber but it looks goofy on a street car and ruins every other aspect of handling other than forward grip and I don't think ill have a problem considering I have 180hp.

Idk let me know what you think, honestly my tumblr and IG or the best place to keep up with the build, usually nobody comments on my builds so i don't update often. Thanks for your time
