From Bags To Riches - Austin Norton's E36 M3

[fackinsteve]

One thing that always bugs me is the brake fluid resevoir. Obviously the color serves a function but in a sea of black it looks so out of place to me

Euro m3 radiator cover and the oem strut mount covers help=) You could get a euro m3 washer bottle too to get that tucked out of sight behind the bumper.

It looks so good on those new wheels. Definitely one of my favorites


what's up with your driver mirror though?

Thanks man! It's a black bandana on the mirror. #fortex

E36 on RS2s is always a good combo.
I would say a little spacing front & rear and it'll be perfect.

I'm going to space the fronts 10mm or so.
I decided to swap the rear RSii barrels with 10's...just have to find a pair
Once the rear camber arms are installed, I'll see how much room I have to work with.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of my imperative winter/future plans include...

- Finish the RS2's / find wider rear barrels (as stated above)
- Adjustable camber arms
- UUC transmission mounts
- Replace flex disc (guibo)
- Repair/Paint nose panel
- Replace the broken amber turn signals (tabs are broken & held in place by zip ties)
- Reinstall the fender lining, splash guard & brake ducts
- Dye the interior carpet black
- Fix the drivers side seat heater / replace the passenger seat motor
- Fix the infamous sagging glove box

And on the back burner...which should probably be on the "imperative" list
- OEM clutch kit
- M50 intake manifold
- 24 lb injectors
- Schrick cams
- 3.5 HFM
- Tune
- Supersprint headers
- LTW wing
- Custom diffusor
- Renown steering wheel & Momo hub

Those look so good. I like your attention to detail with the small things you have done on the car as well. Awesome job!

Thank you all!

Once I get the car aligned I'll mount the rears.
Until then, I'll continue driving around like this...
