  8. As a result you will get increased caster and negative camber. I am not sure about that spring issue... I would think that the strut mounts would have nothing to do with that.
  9. Ups I could be wrong Here is the write up that might help you to figure this out One of the first things you may notice: most parts catalogs list shocks/springs/struts for the E36 with 3 different fitments... 1 for the 95 M3, 1 for the 96+ M3, and 1 for all other E36s built after 6/92. This is crap. First, be aware that all E36 coupes and sedans have the same chassis mounting points. Second, there is no reason for 95 M3 aftermarket parts to be different from 96+ M3 aftermarket parts, unless you are looking to mix and match. Then the issue becomes spring perch diameters. At the top, stock E36 and 95 M3s have the same diameter upper spring perch (although the part number is different). The 1996+ M3s have a slightly smaller upper perch. At the bottom, non-M3 springs are a significantly larger diameter, so it follows that the lower spring perches welded onto non-M3 struts are too big for M3 springs. From this, you can conclude that any M3 spring will fit any M3 strut, with the appropriate upper perch. As far as the "early" 1992 325s.... The 1992 325i/325is built before June of '92 use all the same front suspension mounting locations as the later cars, but the struts, spring diameters, and strut mounts are all a little different. Also, the swaybar attaches to the strut body with a droplink, which is how it is configured on all E36 M3s, rather than to the control arm, as it does on all other E36s. The rear is the same as other E36s. To upgrade the suspension on one of these early cars, you need to do the whole package including sta-bars (due to the width of the stock bar relative to the control arm mounting locations), but that package can be intended for any E36.
  10. BUMP!!! For those who are interested they will fit non-m3 E36s with offset lower control arm bushes.

  12. If you have a manual BMW (I have an M3) make sure you drive in higher gear than you usually do. For example: take off with second not first then put into third at 2.3-2.5 and drive in third all the way. Do not exceed 40km/hr and you will be fine. If you'll start loosing traction take your foot off the accelerator then put into higher gear if at reasonable revs. What ever you do do not brake!!! Try to brake with engine only. If you are driving an auto "*" mode is the one to use keep your speed below normal and again try not to brake if you loose traction. Hope this will help And yes reducing tyre pressure should help as well
  13. I love it!!! So want both of these cars in my garage!!! Perfect combination. But it looks like the CSL driver is not that good he tends to turn into corners a bit too late, which makes him go a bit wide rather then turning sharp into the corner and coming out with speed... That's my thought. Although, I would love to think that getting a 1M will give you everything you want from my perfect car, which is perfect daily/track car
  14. Very nice cars!!! Welcome to the forum!

    Plate - BLZKRG

    Yeah me too!!! My first guess was BLZKRG w**?!
  16. Holly Crap!!!!! Is this for real??? Is it really your car?
  17. Hey Sam, Is there going to be another chance to sign up during the O-week? When is the next track day?
  18. Not a member... when is the track day though? Cos I am at Cantebury uni I think you can still sign up during the O-week
  19. Man!!! Honestly just give it a break! You obviously don't like this car because you don't really see what it is all about and you are definitelly not going to buy it. Some people are different from you and would love to buy this car! I know, I would! And if to follow your logic all people in New Zealand should drive 1.3 litter Hondas or Suzikis or even more convinient to ride bicycles and become a member of Green Peace! Trust me this is not going to happen. People who can afford and are willing to buy these cars will buy them and it doesn't define who they are! They could be anyone! You just need to understand that and finally deal with it...
  20. I have BBS RG 18" 8' Et38 front and 9' Et41 rear currently on my E36 M3, but keen to sell and get a different set of wheels. These are exactly the same as the ones above plus they have warrantable tyres all around (6mm front and 4mm rears). Look them up on google. PM if interested.
