    E36 M3 Resto-mod.

    That steering wheel clean works a treat. I couldn't find soap flakes at the super so used a bar of soap instead. I didn't even notice mine had "M" colored stitching until I saw this thread because it was so black, now mine looks like yours. Stoked!
  2. Definitely the cleanest one I've seen driving around. It's good to see one done properly and not all ricer with stupid headlights and tail lights like most the ones you see around in chch. +1 on the meet idea I haven't met anyone either
  3. Saw you in this down Fendalton Rd earlier this arvo. Looks rad in person, nearly veered off the road turning around to look as you drove past haha
  4. Nah I just don't think it's my style. If I change the front end I'll just go with a whole new aftermarket lip replacement like this Max Velocity GTR one here....
  5. I do realise this and agree 100% with you on this. I'm not in any way saying a more knowledgeable explanation of the suspension components is not required, because it is. I was more getting at the fact that just because everyone on here doesn't have that kind of knowledge, it doesn't make it okay to criticize other members' input into this thread to the extend of Ron's comment, although I do appreciate his knowledge. I'm here to have friendly conversations and learn things not get put down for comments I make
  6. Have you ever considered that not everybody wants an over complicated answer about their car's components and wants something in lamens terms that everybody understands? Not everyone has such biased views like you, so calling other people's comments simplistic, subjective, and meaningless isn't really appropriate
  7. I kind of like these, but I HATE how on the sides they don't look flush with the factory lip on the msport bumpers. To me it just looks odd. I think they look good from front on but the sides kind of put me off them. I wish there were styles that looked more like an extension of the factory lip as opposed to just sitting vertically, but I imagine this would be hard to replicate as the curvature of the sides of the m lips is weird
  8. Rare because 2 door. Hahahaha idiot
  9. Bump. She would probably accept offers around 6k
  10. I have BC BR Gold's in my e36 328i coupe. The ride is ok, quite firm over bumps but I don't mind it too much. Definitely handles better than my old factory setup for sure. If you live in an area without smooth roads I probably wouldn't recommend it and if the only reason you want them is to go low you're probably barking up the wrong tree - having independant rear suspension means the rears won't go super low (well I guess it depends what you classify as low) unless you get a different rear spring rate setup to the most common 6kg front/8kg rear combo. I currently have mine set at the lowest setting in the rear, with the spacers taken out and the plastic inserts that come with them inserted (I personally think it's too low and will be raising it when I get some spacers). The front has ridiculous height adjustment so you're covered there no matter what height you're after Some pics of mine at the moment with rears rears wound right down:
  11. Got mine today, really happy with the plates and the surrounds. Great value for money and look great, cheers Andy appreciate your efforts. Here's a few cell phone pics in case future buyers want examples....
  12. Wow. I have nowhere near the amount of self control required to do something like this. Awesome!
  13. I have a listing to my friends manual 318i for sale in the for sale section. Although she is based in chch....
  14. A friend of mine is moving overseas and wants to sell this. 1999 318i Manual in great condition. $6500 ono Link to TradeMe Auction here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-747512781.htm Enquire through the auction or on here
  15. Interested. PM me some pics, details, price etcSent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  16. Those tyre sizes are probably going to be too big, not sure whether it's worth it to take them off and sell them + buy new tyres. Will give it some thought and PM you if I'm keen. Cheers
  17. Not sure on e36. They look real good on e46 tho
  18. Nah man, I'm TERRIBLE with wiring I don't wanna screw something up. I could probably do it, but I'd rather not practice on something like this haha Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  19. Looking for someone in chch who knows what they're doing and could wire in an 18 button obc in place of my current 11 button in an e36. Don't mind if it's just a member on here looking for a few $$ either, at least it won't cost as much as taking it into a shop. Will supply beers and probably some sub-par banter! Any takers PM me
  20. The guy didn't want to wait around he was being a pain so I told him not to bother. To be fair he was a douche anyway I couldn't be bothered with him any longer. Thanks anyway Rod
  21. Wow this looks amazing! This will hopefully motivate me to get mine done!
  22. Saw this the other day, have watched it about 30 times since! WANT
