Yes they are interchangeable. I have some Koni adjustables from an E30 series car that I am willing to part with. These are adjustable at the top and in the car as opposed to the proper E30 Konis that require you to remove from the car to adjust.

My car is standard height. Could you please DM me with a price please if they will work at standard height? Cheers Paul.

Are the E30 shocks the same as E36 compact?

TIA

Noticed two were missing when I changed my air filter.

1999 E36 318ti M44 they hold the fan housing/intake snorkel to radiator.

TIA

This will help you do exactly what you want and at half the price. I'd say you would need to run an aftermarket ECU to get the benefits of them

Some pics of RHD ITB's in situ

Man they look nice. What $$ does this cost to do with the RHD kit?

It has certainly been done, but not (yet) by me.

I have ITB's on an M42B18 which is similar in many ways, and probably going to do an M44B19 in the next 12 months or so. 

Keen to see who has done it, what gains they got and how many $$$.

ITB on m44b19, anyone done it?

Looking for one or two of these with 40mm hole to suit meet Motorsport regs. 
cheers 

How much does that ITB setup cost?

Looks good! Im about to start down a similar path now too

Cheers. All the best with your build! Feel free to post pics   

Cage done and seats and belts all in.

cage all done, just need homologation and it can get painted and all go back together  

what is involved swapping one of these into a a 1999 E36 318ti?

Before I go new (again), need a seat for passenger side.

TIA

You could go for a LTW replica since it might get broken ?

If I'm breaking boot spoilers I am doing something seriously wrong!

 

As the topic says.

The ti boot lid is very short, so wondering what people have fitted from other bimmers or other makes?

TIA

bump

Are there any options for a chip or ECU swap to give my wee engine more grunt?

TIA.

Can you not try them ? I was running 235/35/17 on 8.5" ACS wheels on mine. Got occasional rub and I had pretty stiff suspension which was lowered as well 

They are in Auckland and I'm in Masterton so no unfortunately!

Yes tyres are a bit too wide for the rim, but not dangerously so. You definitely wouldn't go wider on a 7.5 rim.

 

Also bear in mind that the speedo will be slightly off with that aspect ratio, but that wont matter on the track.

but you reckon I'd be OK for (no) rubbing with that offset and width?

Is that a square set Paul? According to http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/22 the Style 22s only came in 17x7.5. That tyre width is pretty chunky - are the 235s only on the rear or on all 4?

It's a square set Kris, all 235s. There're a few pics of compacts on that link with 22s.

Depends on the offset of the wheel.

If the offset is correct they will fit - if not they will rub.

They are style 22 offset is 41, where on an M3.

As per subject, looking at some  style 22 17" with 235/40 Semis.

Offset is 41.

Will they be OK on my 318ti E36?

TIA

I have a lightly used set (4) of Nanking NS2R semi-slicks in 225/45/17 that I no longer need if they're of interest to you? Just over 5mm thread tread left on each.

Let me know if they appeal.

Price? Cheers
