Welcome Sir, Sounds like you have got a nice car. Not sure about the badges

They will fix easy. As for tyre size it's really up to you. I think M3AN (Dave) is running 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear on 18x8.5" others run 215/45/18 all round.Just depends on what look your going for and how you drive! ; ) Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Some how find enough time in my day for a wheel alignment! At MAYNE AUTOMOTIVE down the road from my work. Nice guys seemed to know there stuff but it did take them about 10mins to get the car on the alignment machine because of how low it is. "Not that low ;)". As its not the last time i will be dropping the rear on the car I didn't see the point in going to a really good place. Will when i'm 100% done with the suspension. All in all happy with the alignment and happy i'm driving the car again!!! :)

Hmmm, You might have a PM from me

Still on stock M-Sport sway bars. Next things on my "Buy list" Swaybars, LSD, Front camber adjustable top hats.

No I am running a 3.15 open diff atm. Will be looking for a LSD soon... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

UPDATE 12/06/16 Car is back on the road! Wow over two mouths of it being off the road we got her done! Car feels great after doing a rough wheel alignment ourselves (As no one was open at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon) it was drive able. Feels like a new car! Is a lot harder ride and feels tighter in the steering but not a race car either. Feels more alive, takes bumps and corners amazingly well both at low and high speeds. I'm so happy with - it feels and drivers better than I could ever of imagine. IMO it was worth all the time and money it took! Can't wait for new tyres a proper alignment and reinforcement plates to go in and really see what she can do. Some pics of her back on the road.

No still waiting on them to get here. Will be doing it next month or so. Also need time to get better at welding

Hey guys, Anyone got one I can have happy to buy it off you or replace it next week if needed. No parts places open in the weekends. Really wanna get my car back on the road this weekend and its the last piece of the puzzle. Thanks, Conor

Update 11/06/2016 After our long weekend last weekend we got lots more done.We really only have to put the brakes back together and get the exhaust back on. How ever i need a new handbrake cable as one of mine has broken.(Anyone have one in there parts bin? Be happy to buy if off you or replace it next week if needed. No parts places are open and really wanna get the car back on the road this weekend!) Note: Sorry for bad pics most of them are after everything was back in the car and its hard to show whats new etc. Here is the rear subframe with all the new bushings in and getting back into the car. Front all back together.... Something everyone should have if your wanting to redo all your bushings. Made the whole project a lot easier. How ever this is still a every time consuming project to under take. Well it was for me anyway

didn't know I needed one? However if I do then yes will be getting it certed probably wait a bit and get everything cert as once!

Thanks Dave! Yeah can't wait to get her back on the road(hopefully this coming weekend) and see the different. Will have to pop over for a beer when Shes driving again and let you take it for a rip!

Thanks man. Yea that's next on my list just about to order the reinforcement plates from the us! I plan on getting rear subframe and rear trailing arms any other i should do as well?

It handled really well before didn't floated or wandered cornered amazing as well. That's why we couldn't believe How fu*ked the bushings were. In saying that as Nathan has said I do have upgraded Shocks and springs.

Hey guys, Here are my plans for my 1996 e36 328I ,otherwise known as "Black Betty". This year I plan on doing a lot to her. Right now I'm doing all new suspension bushings (powerflex polyurethane bushings) along with some new suspension parts front lower control arms, Tie rod ends, Sway bar end-links, braided brake lines, Diff and Gearbox oil change ,rear sub frame sandblasted and repainted, and some other things I can't think of right now. Not sure in what order but after this I will be doing the following. New gearbox. New clutch. (CC stage 4). Reinforce Rear sub frame and rear trailing arm mounts. All new suspension (Powerflex). Exhaust. New wheels and tires. Window Tints. Redo/Upgrade cooling system. New Shocks & Springs (koni yellows w adjustable damping & eibach proline springs) Some type of big brake upgrade ( e46 330I Front Brakes & e46 328I Rear Brakes) 3.46 LSD built by KBM. New window seals all round. Eibach sway bars. Respray. Interior clean up with fixed-back seats and 6 point harness. Half/Full rollcage maybe? Cams Tune Temp Gauges Oil Cooler XYZ Coilovers Some type of power upgrade. (Not sure what road I wanna head down yet) Hope you guys enjoy reading along and watch myself and some mates build a killer car over the months to come! Dropping the rear subframe, Diff and Suspension arms out of the car! All of the old parts! They were fu*ked and needed to be replaced. Some of the new / refurbished parts! Subframe had been sandblasted and repainted the finished product came out way better than I ever expected!!!!! More pics and to come of putting everything back together
