  1. early m3's had 22.5mm sways. m3 evo's have 23mm. 25mm was a bad choice to base that on. Instead if one was to use a 23.5mm bar from a 318 would this be an acceptable sway bar? I was wanting to know if people use adjustable endlinks to adjust preload.For me i would like to get rid of any preload caused by changes in corner weight and lower suspension. Or is this not noticable until you go to extremes? the 328i with motorsport suspension has 25.5mm swaybars What swaybar's do you currently have?
  2. http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/html_project/...g/sway_bar2.jpg Is there any clearance issues if using an e36ti sway bar (25mm one) on a 6 cylinder? does anyone use adjustable endlinks for adjusting the preload on the bar?

  5. I take it you have an old 325 with strut mount sways? These have the same control arms as an e36. So mounting them will be no problem. Just get different endlinks There is a good discussion of strut mount sways vs control arm mount on bimmerforums. I'll try find it again I think the gist of it was people found they had a better 'feel' from the strut mount. The only other bennefit was that you can run a thinner sway that weighs less OT/ what strut inserts are you going to use?
  6. Yes they come with tyres. Tyres are yokohama 205/55 DNA Grandprix. 3 have about half tread. 1 has a puncture and is a bit more worn on the shoulders

  19. what brakes are you using?
  20. Sorted the fuel level sender. Seems to be a ver common problem for 95-on e36's and is 9 times out of 10 on the fuel pump side. Very easy to fix. Pop out rear seat, unscrew the cover on the drivers side(4 phillips head screws), unplug the level sender and fuel pump wiring, unscrew the cover from the fuel pump. I used a hammer and large flathead to beat it around. Carefully remove the fuel pump where if your lucky you'll see this: Was just a loose wire. Use a wire stripper to expose more wire if necessary and screw back into it's spot. Install is opposite to removal. The smell of petrol went after a short drive If your an idiot this could be dangerous quite happy to not have to carry the safety bottle around. then swaped old for new tensioner bearing, belts and bonnet emblem
  21. is the bonnet fibreglass? Amazing project
