thanks guys, appreciate the comments

tell me about it, but oh so worth it. you just look at the rims in the guards and laugh at the c-class merc's with rim sitting just on guard lol

no probs, will get in contact on monday. Charlie

hey, what about these springs makes them not legal? (Full set of King Supa Lows for E36 sedan 6cylinder (not legal tho)) cut or compressed? cheers

interesting conversation, What i basically mean is i want some good springs that with good shocks will sit the car nicely and also handle well. i see many 3 series with superlow jamex and the back is still a lot higher than the front, if they both lined up things would look good. In time the money is there to do things right, Im after suggestions from people who have been down this road and know what works best in this car. trust me i am also as against cut springs and scraping like all of you. i thing "low az" has been taken the wrong way, of course safety is of a higher priority. cheers.

not cool!!! how many times have i looked at my car and some cheeky street sh*t is looking at the audio to steal. feel sorry 4 u mate, that sh*t is immoral!!

offset is 40. says ET 40 on the back of the wheel. is that a suitable offset for my car? also, what is a good tyre size for the back?, as they are getting down i will be in the market soon and will visit your shop when the time comes. currently on dunlop direzzas all round many thanks.

hey mate yes the car sits 5cm lower main thing that concerns me is that the tyre is 1mm from the back guard lol no breathing room there (poor tyre) , they were off an e46 328i wagon (my mates) yes they are genuine.. is my only option to roll or flare? (dont really want to have to do that) can offsets be changed? will take the wheel off now and get back to you on offset size. many thanks

Ok sweet thanks, bu my handling will be sweet? all safe etc with wrong offset? THANKS

oh yeah lol its a 1996 328i coupe lol

Hey guys, i am thinking of getting jamex superlows and compressing the back 4cm with short sports shocks.. will this be safe and probably captive? does compressing f*%k the springs? where on earth can i get coilovers? thanks heaps

hey all, just got some niiice motorsport rims off an e46 328i wagon. i put these on my e36 1996 328i coupe. i think the rims are 8" wide, tyres are 225/40/18, my problem is the back is 1mm from the guard... is this normal? also front rubs ocasionally (not very often). my questions are: are these mags likely to be the right offset? do i need my guards rolled or flared? if so, where from in auckland is this normal? thanks heaps guys look forward to you help and the discussion, many thanks charlie

Yuen, i think you are right!! as my radiator and waterpump are brand new and just replaced i could be affected by the same problem you had, your advice is gold!! i will try this and keep you updated many thanks

The warning lights are a pain in the ass huh. ok thanks for that, i will go and have a look for it now, will get back to you cheers

Hey, another problem... first radiator, then waterpump, then Crank angle sensor now Coolant level warning light appears everytime i start/switch off my car. it looks to me like the coolant level is o.k. my car is a bmw 1996 328i coupe any ideas why i may be getting this message? thanks guys

thanks, i think by the sounds of things mabye jamex superlows (which i had in my 1996 Celica, handled well) in combination with new sports shocks? what are the best bang for buck in terms of good shocks? i appreciate the help guys

how much engine oil do i put in inmy 328i, automatic 1996 e36 jap import? What is the best performance oil, or good stuff? i used to use mobil 1 in my Toyota Celica, was good stuff, is this best for beamers? many thanks

hey i dont have any springs, but how much does it cost to reset a set at snells? i am also interested in doing this. cheers mate

many thanks for all your help. i mounted it with velcro on th bottom and neatly screwed it into the parcel tray to stop any movement. appreciate the ideas =)
