I want the 285-wide tyres and E46 GTR bodykit and it will be better then all of you. If you disagree I'll stab you in the neck and have sex with a manatee....(I have a dislike from Jordan)

I'll definately do a detailed step-by-step thread on the process. I want to list and photograph individual parts, part numbers, etc. One of the guys here at work knows the Noltec dudes and dudettes, so I think i'll investigate them. With the E36 parts, would my E30 Series 1 Eibach Pro springs and Billy Sprint shocks still fit (bearing in mind mine's a late-model 51mm strut)? I've been told there's a brake upgrade that uses 850i Brembo calipers. But if 330Ci calipers and rotors bolt on, that's even better! I won't be tracking it much, but I do drive it to work and back (1000km just doing that), plus weekend jaunts to fun driving roads/track means it'd be nice to know I've got gooooood stoppers under the guards.

Haha, thanks for the welcome and the info guys. G'day to you too Ash, hope the M3 is treating you well... particularly with the young lasses down at Cottlesloe Beach... hahaha.. The Breyton kit is a high-quality fibreglass. I'll have to take some pics and post em up, cause its an AWESOME fit and the quality of the raw kit is very good. I thought at first it was crap cause I'm used to stuff like C-West, et al, but I soon realised how well it fitted and how strong-yet-malleable it was... I need to have a look at the exact parts list, but looking at the Uber3 website has given me a good idea of whats involved in the swap. I really, REALLY do not want to cut or weld anything. Small brackets for bigger calipers doesn't faze me, but welding new suspension mounting points can be a pain in the arse with our rego requirements over here (draconian is to put it nicely). Has anybody got any experience with Kmac adjustable strut tops? Or is there a product out there that is by far and away the best, blow-ya-wig-off-and-empty-the-nutsack beaut? I'm an E30-owner. I'm too poor to afford shoes...

Hi guys, I got told to check out these forums for info on 5-lug swaps on E30s by a bloke (Ray Smoodiver) on R3v Limited (home of the e-cock fight). So yeah. Umm... I currently own an '89 E30 325i coupe that's not-so-fondly referred to as "the money pit". I've had most of the undercarriage rebuilt (steering rack, sway bar end links, et al) and its been resprayed, slapped some smoked lenses on it, bought a Breyton kit for it and am now looking to brakes/wheels. This is where I wanna go 5-lug as I'll get more wheel options and the ability to run the 540i/850CSi brake upgrade. I've been talking to a few guys who reckon E28 parts are the go as they are basically just E30 M3 stuff but without the M-Sport pricetag (ouch, hurts just thinking about it!). Personally, I wanna get the little red biatch handling and braking like a race car before upping the hp, though eventually I'll slap an eta crank and 10.5:1 comp pistons and some other goodies in it (Schrick cam, piggyback ECU, etc etc). Cheers, Iain

There is a guy here in Australia with an E36 that's packing an LS1 Gen III Chev small block. I know there's a link to it doing a "no brakes" burnout SOMEWHERE on my computer... I'll find it and post the link up.. http://www.fullsickbro.com/album/displayim...?album=22&pos=8
