Reading this makes me kick myself for selling my e36 328 manual, such great cars! That was ten years ago, around the bottom of the market (around 5,5k🤬)

Great to see tidy and well loved examples getting used, and that B3🤤!

Super stoked with the current e39 540, but still have a major soft spot for an e36 coupe, one day…….

such a nice car 

i just use a mobile windscreen man 

easy 

if you need a rear screen i have in stock

Thanks Brent, I am struggling to find struts. I have found some Sachs Z3 OEM shocks but they dont state they are for M Sport suspension, any thoughts?

 

part numbers for 6cyl z3 msport type

https://www.google.com/search?q=31316753262&rlz=1C1GIWA_enNZ599NZ599&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

https://www.google.com/search?q=31316753261&rlz=1C1GIWA_enNZ599NZ599&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

and older part numbers 31311094191 & 31311094192

z3 has much shorter struts and little lower springs 

so yes will fit but will lift the front up quite a bit

Thanks guys or would a e28 be a better plate form to start with? @Gaz @BM WORLD

yea probably 

still not easy , but better rear suspension set up

Rust is probably your biggest thing. There are some crossovers with suspension parts with the likes of the e3/e24 maybe some e28 stuff to. @BM WORLD is probably the man to ask

haha yea rust and hard to find old parts issues

Factory sizing is 225/45 and 245/40 so yes will cure the rubbing

yes and new shocks and bump stops , most z3 i see have worn out guard liners even when running correct tyre sizes 

but yes 235 wide is a no no on the front 

these all do this 

foam degrads 

get a car upholstery shop to redo them 

my guess the sword 

these will all die 

maybe get it repaired by a electronic tech guy

Thanks for that, would they polish up ok ?

My problem is the other one I have is close to brand new nick

Wheels on that for sale ?

you could try 

these wheels gone 

have this parts car 

i think some early 5L commodores used to had a 5spd ZF 

also i think some vettes may have used one?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZF_transmissions

sell it and buy a 330i or 335i etc
