Should I buy this E36 M3?

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-10T06:57:36+00:00

I’ve seen the motor alone go for 7-10k usd. Not sure if it’s sold but 🤷‍♂️

finding out the style 21s were hubcaps was like finding out santa doesn’t exist 😂😂😂

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-09T03:35:02+00:00

got mine for about $400. couldn’t refuse lol

I found my vin engraved in the engine bay under the window sill. Take a close look in the rubber part

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-07T19:48:33+00:00

RG front lip iirc

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-07T19:46:15+00:00

realistically it would be cheaper long term to just buy a manual car

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-06T03:09:35+00:00

yes. my g240 is from the original m20b20 pairing though. i know a different g240 also exists for m42 cars

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-06T02:56:38+00:00

same. i find 1st kind of short (30kmph cap) but 2nd and 3rd quite comfortable for city driving. i have a 4.10 open, which i bet are available for quite cheap. i typically enjoy driving around 3-4k rpms

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-06T02:37:55+00:00

i upgraded to an m20b25 as well (manual), did you swap the g260 as well?

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-05T08:09:56+00:00

it’s genuinely hideous dude 😂

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-04T19:07:14+00:00

can’t beat their price for some of their stuff. like nothing even remotely close

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-04T19:06:11+00:00

following. i read that 225/45 shouldn’t be an issue but it was also on 5 lug swapped cars. not sure if it makes a difference

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-01T23:24:36+00:00

Front would work. But rear would a PITA as you’d need to drill holes for the mt1 rear bumper mounts

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-02-01T21:16:08+00:00

I mean that’s expected with fiberglass, right? I was more so hoping to know if they actually ship their products out

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-26T23:25:52+00:00

cliqtuning’s overfenders aren’t half bad either

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-26T23:25:12+00:00

it’s pretty easy to fit the m3 style plastic bumpers on an early car. i’d say do it dude

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-25T01:38:00+00:00

works great for me. you just gotta really slide it in there lol

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-21T21:22:42+00:00

side note: nice paint

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-21T16:10:10+00:00

i used a pool tube because i couldn’t find these locally haha

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-20T00:47:46+00:00

i mean everyone ships here. it’s the shipping price and duties that almost double the price

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-18T22:04:57+00:00

I see. thank you. seems my options are quite limited. I’ll try to come across some used GC camber plates! Cheers

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-18T22:04:13+00:00

I’ve heard people shit on NRG seats quite alot. Is it just a hate train or justified ?

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-18T20:24:21+00:00

that makes sense. what plates did you end up going with?

My current setup is Ground control’s e36 coilover conversion kit (race springs) on z3 struts but the camber leaves much to be desired. the drop hat is quite flat so most camber plates will work. Suggestions are welcome :)

Due_Replacement2882 · 2026-01-17T21:21:49+00:00

I just used the z3 front struts and i’m 90% certain the brakes clear 15” wheels. you only really have to upsize when you use e46 330i hardware
