Who spotted the M3 Touring?

MHD will read the codes.

Charge pipe is pretty straight forward, I have done one on an M135i and it was about a two and a half hour job. I am sure you will really enjoy it.

The E36 Market is certainly on the rise. I had no trouble selling my 328i for good money and to be fair could have sold it 3 times over. People are starting to see how good these cars are now.

This is my 335i on Tein S Tech Springs Koni adjustable and M3 arms front and rear. The front setup uses E30 Top Hats to raise the ride height as the S Tech springs are quite low. The rear uses 10mm hard rubber spacers in the spring cavities. Suspension is firm but surprisingly its not harsh and is daily drivable, and I live where the roads are crap. The M3 control arm conversion reduces the intial understeer noticeably and all but eliminates it at medium speeds and up. Turn in is very positive and precise.

A faulty solenoid in the mechatronis unit is not uncommon. BTW you have a ZF 6hp trans which is a very common unit so will not likely be any challenge for a good trans shop.

Btw you are welcome to drive my 335i with Konis and Tein S tech springs, pretty firm.

Yep have to agree with Olaf I think B4s are a slightly retrograde step.

Yes Jon is very good, real professional.

Yes 335i's will do that especially when tuned.

Very nice looking Touring.

Becomes very quick with a tune.

I bought DCIs and pipes off Amazon. Ditched the DCIs no improvemnt.

Looks like 16mm difference, 17mm was pretty close.

My buddy Boytie has one and we fitted a new intercooler and gave it an MHD stage 1 tune. I have driven it a few times and its pretty rapid. Its a really nice cockpit and that ZF8HP box is a thing of joy. Much more HP than it has now could be a bit dangerous. On the twisties its really a lot of fun, one of the most enjoyable cars I have ever driven.

Why dont you just send Bilstein an email then. I read the difference in an E90 between M sport and standard is 17mm.

If you are going B4 then yes this is the way to go but its just stock replacement twin tube shocks, . I think you are over complicating the B8, B6 thing. M Sport springs B6, simple.

Bilstein make it pretty clear that the B8 is for lowered springs like Eibach H&R etc while the B^ is for stock springs inc the M sport springs.

Kashish this is very good advice from a guy who pushed his N55 pretty hard and broke it.

Good plan, FWIW I am taking my Tein S Techs out and going back to M Sport springs. Well I think I will

Yes thats the one. Do it.

Drive a few first and check how they feel. I have added roughly 100hp to my 335i and Its quick, but HP is addictive and you may want more, but you may be happy with what you get stock.

M3 control arms; Best advice I can give you.
