Bump. Still on the look out!

Does anyone have an e36 m3 rear end assembly (trailing arms, brakes, diff, subframe) they would like to part with or ideally m3 evo rear end. Or can get hold of one?

Still on the hunt

Hi Brent, How much for the uni joint in top corner?

Thanks bud for info. Was wanting to dummy fit as making a custom steering shaft for my e36. If it works I’ll buy new.

Hi as per title. Needing steering shaft uni-joint. thanks, Niroy

Hi I have a single one which I believe has never been used (it’s in mint condition). Not sure what it is worth. If your interested let me know!

Thanks for the responses guys. I’m getting the car ready for Certification so unfortunately it’s not road legal to drive. I’ll have a yarn to my local auto sparky. cheers

Hi team, Anyone know how to reset an early type E36 airbag light? It’s the type with the two Fluoro orange impact sensors in the engine bay. I have a Peake airbag scan tool but it doesn’t detect this system. Accidentally connected the battery with the steering wheel removed. Thanks, Niroy

Bump!

Up for sale is my E36 coupe. I have owned this thing for about 4 years and slowly modified it for a bit of fun. Modifications, specs and maintenance include: • Suspension bushes refreshed (apart from swaybars) including Meyle HD front control arm bushes, M3 offset lollypops, Ruff rear subframe bushes. Have most receipts. Done at 205530km • Vogtland Sport Suspension Kit with new mounting hardware (top hats, bumpstops, Ruff rear mounts) with a rare AC Schnitzer front brace. • ZF manual gearbox conversion (around 3000 kms ago), RHD flywheel, carbon kevlar clutch, UCC braided clutchline, replacement slave, replaced hanger bearing, guibo. First gear whines a bit but hasn’t caused any issues. • Braided brake lines (Stoptech) • Style 68 wheels 17x8.5 square (refurbished, lathed lips, acid dipped and painted), front Turner Motorsport 15mm spacers, Bridgestone Adernalin RE002 • 325i twin catless exhaust • Refreshed cooling system (previous owner @180k) Radiator, fan shroud, coupler, fan, thermostat housing) • Black leather interior, good headlining, door cards ok and has new shifter and handbrake boots. • Comes with misc bushings and seals and subframe reinforcement plates. • Known faults: has usual stone chips and a couple of scrapes, needs new front indicators, bonnet struts, bonnet/boot badges, displays tail light failure on computer despite them all working. Probably missed a heap of things, my plan was to convert it to m54b30 and the reason for it being un-certed. Poor car sits in the driveway and has only done a 960km odd since January last year. At the time of purchase it was a better price consideration then the 328i Asking $6k ono PM me for more details

Hi Aaron, What is the condition of the soft door seals on the e36 coupe you are wreaking? The seal goes around the car body frame and sandwich’s between the door and the frame. Thanks Niroy

Great score on the E36 and nice work mate! What scanning tool have you got there?

Hi Dave, Ive done this on an M50 before, from memory: I used an engine crane. A combination of support brace and trolley jack may do it, Undo steering shaft coupler at rack end, There's a bracket on the power steering pump to sump which needs to be unbolted, Undo engine mount bolts into sub frame then sub frame bolts and lower down for clearance, Work your way around oil pan bolts (don't forget the two into the rear main seal cover), Not sure about the dipstick tube, believe there's a bolt half way up on the M50 but M52 uses a different dipstick tube (one bolt, some breather tubes and its pressed in with an o-ring). I didn't disconnect any lines for the power steering, however taking the power steering reservoir out of the bracket does help in getting the sub frame lower. Hopefully that's some help!
