Core splitter from BMW nz(due to size), brackets from Ecs tuning(freight friendly).

Just picked the M3 up from Gavin at Hi Velocity after a custom tune. In short, the chip i purchased from the UK is confirmed as absolute rubbish, see prior posts on this thread for what NOT to buy. Its now tuned for an endurance (reliability) level and pulls 252.5WHP (188WKW) on gavins dyno. This looks respectable for what is a stock motor with exhaust only. Will take it back to torques dyno at some stage so we get a before and after on the same dyno, will wait for a cheapo club day.

Couldn't help myself, purchased one of these. Genuine BMW product so keeps with my keep it authentic theme, not to mention proven aero and quality

or

are the tail facelift tail lights genuine BMW ?

The ones that plug into and throu the bonnet. For m3 coupe pre facelift. Note, don't need heated version. Pm me Needed ASAP

Isn't the M3 front sub frame already stronger than the non M3? I know turners do some front sway bar reinforcement plates. Unless you are referring to the back ?

Focus in the sway bar height on both photos. My custom plate goes over it, whereas the splitter is moreso underneath it (assuming its length was longer/continued).

Had a look at this further and alas i think my sump plate and mount will interfere with it without major cutting to the back of the unit. ie

Cool. Will consider that. I am in the US in 4 weeks, but i suspect its a bit large for cabin baggage

Thanks, SERIOUSLY looking at this one now. Its not as low as the OEM version but more robust. As it isn't as low as OEM its probably not as effective either, but probably still has a positive effect on aero's (compared to lips only) to match the rear wing

I understand there is two different heater fan boxes, one for a air con car and one without. I'm looking at weight reduction options for my e36 m3 3.0 which had the air con compressor removed. Does anyone know if it's a straight swap out and what the weight differences are?

i think the wheel offset helps with that look allot. I have some new lip/chins for the front ready to go on but are tempted at a full extendable lip, but fear for its robustness.

Not cheap, but quality www.bimmian.com/

F/Glass boot, spoiler and bonnet on. Alu doors on. Still needs finishing with locks and sundry.

Number as per his website, called mid day.

i spoke to him yesterday and booked in a dyno for 4 weeks out. I called his cell.

The word is all e36's had the issue, even with the motorsport ECU. The fix is a E46 4 circuit retro fit using kits which are available. But when you then change all the rotors and calipers to bigger units (say AP), the calibration is out, so it just gets hard again. Thus most at the top end just remove it.

Search on e36 abs brake ice mode and see why. In short it can limit braking force unexpectedly and cause a crash.

Booked in tue 2 weeks out, and emissions pump removal, and abs pump (currently disabled) removal .

Paul from Plastic Construction providing a quality finish. Note: Almost finished, still needs the 2nd duct and the rear bracing. Ducts will be plumbed into the vent hole in the lower back of the 4119 seats, probably with the aid of an inline fan. TBA.

Geoff Steel RAcing UK http://www.geoffsteel.co.uk/shop/ The parts are (were at time of order) cheaper than NZ sourced product, lighter and arguably also a better finish (not perfect thou), however the freight will kill you. Try and consolidate it with someone else's freight or shipping to bring that freight cost down. They also do a hi-rise GT spoiler which the main NZ fiberglass manufacturer doesn't do. Really wanted this over the lower two piece version
