Hey i am still here.
Waiting for bits to arrive, still waiting on the RTD shifter then i will go to BMW to get all new clips little rubber bushings and basically everything new to fit it all.
then got a few other bits to do and then it is getting taken to a BMW specialist to have the starting issue figured out, they are also going to look over everything i have done to make sure its all working and correct. i am going to also get them to replace all the brake hardline whilst it is there too.
In other news,
I FINALLY managed to get the spoiler I've wanted. I have taken about 4 years to hunt one of these down and i finally managed to find one and at a stupid cheap price at that too!!
its the AC Schnitzer 3 piece, genuine too.

Yeah he couldn't get it off so i got the entire bottled and the rear quarters of the car. i need to work out how i am going to get it off myself now.
the spoiler is from a compact but i have done some measurements and it will not be to far off fitting with the help from the body shop it will be perfect.
Here is how it will look fitted.

Looking great! Never saw this on a Coupe before, but I really like it.
By the way, your wheels are "Mille Miglia Chronos". They are quite popular in the VW scene, but very rare in 17" and with 5x120. I saw a set for sale years ago and thought that they would look sweet on an E36. Back then I did not have the money for another set of wheels, but I'm glad to finally see 17" Chronos on an E36.
Please keep on updating, thank you.Tut DAS denn Not, dass der Karren so tief is?

Also, the spoiler looks wicked mate. A similar looking one off an E46 Alpina just poped up for a good price on facebook for Ł70 and I'm really tempted to snatch it up for my car.

I couldn't even be bothered to finish painting them, i know this is bad but i wanted to get the equips off the car because of the weather and i didn't want the car sitting on ale stands, these will get a proper professional paint job at some stage in the future but for now this will have to do.

So today consisted of getting the tyres switched from the equips over to the 1000Miglia

And i really like how they look fitted to the car, much better than i was expecting. Some people have even said they look better than the equips but i am unsure if i agree.
Here are the photos, the wheels are 17x8.5j square. i have 195/40 up front and 205/40 rear

Oh, i also bought another e36. This time its a touring!!! its a little rough around the edges in the aesthetics department but i am sure i will sort that out. Now would you guys like me to start another thread for the touring?

Dare I say it... DARE I say it... but those miglias are next level. I say build the touring around those wheels, they'd look perfect on there. And yes, 100% new thread for the touring pal.
Man I really like those miglias so much, they sort of remind me of my ex261s!

Those Miglias look better than I expected, I still prefer the Equips, but on the touring they'd be the bee's knees.
Also props for refinishing them so quickly, I have a set of AC Schnitzers in my garage that I've hardly touched in the months I've had them, seeing this makes me wanna start sinking some time into them haha.
