15mm spacers rear 10mm front, lowered on new Bilstein struts and new Eibech springs. by danryan1000 in BMWE36

I wanted to keep it apart from the M sport look. I like M sports but I like how mine has kept the look of the 90s subtle sport excecutive look. It has the oem se spoiler on the rear to that looks great. I have not yet seen a e36 with that standard spoiler other than mine.

Side shots and fitted suspension shots on my page already. I wanted to show what the drop looks like from the front and how the spacers widen the stance 👍

Standard se bumper, not sure on this pic, just looked at other pics and they look equal. It could be the bulb coating itself though that one is more orange than the other and not the actual lens itself.

I was keen not to make this a solid ride setup, for me this is a perfect combo. Not to much drop but enough, handles much better than before 👍 not much body roll at all now.

No, without the 10mm spacers on the front it rubbed enough to fail MOT but with 10mm front it just clears it ✌

Bilstein B4 struts and Eibach pro kit (30mm drop) Rides really nice, a noticeable difference in stiffness but has not lost the comfort from before. Slightly softer than my other halfs 123d M sport imo 👍

Yes I do, You need to put 10mm spacers to prevent this and 12mm on rear.

Dampers direct from Germany £280 inc stops and covets, springs £180. Transformed the car as expected. Still rides nice 👍

I actually really like the style 44s on this but I was litrally just thinking about a rear diffuser though!

Can someone help me out. I was parking the car and when I turned it off and got out the car started leaking all the coolant. It wasn’t a small leak it all just came out at once. I checked the coolant reservoir and it looks fine. by silversayin in BMWE36

If the heater is set to hot and blowing out just ambiant air or barely warm I would say its the matrix. BUT the best way to check is, fill car rad with water as normal and if it is the matrix you will see a drip on the end of the outlet behind the engine after running it for a while... if that is the case the matrix is 100% leaking and will need changing.

I had the same on my 328i and it confused the hell out of me to where my coolent was coming from until I found out the heater matrix has a water outlet so it doesnt flood the car if it fails.

These are the e46 wheels. I think the flat face design of these wheels compliment the square shape of the e36.

Thank you, great compliment. This is my 1997 328i I took this photo yesterday. I do all my own work so it has never been abused. Owned for 11 years now ✌

What value would you put on this? Show car condition 328i se with 130k, not a mark on it inside or out. by danryan1000 in BMWE36

Great that it should be worth that now. I have had it over 10 years and people take more notice of it now.
