Eagle

E36 is boring for me mainly because there are so many around, everyone from young chaps to grannies drives one. I respect people who drive them because they are a good car but alot of seem to get them just to be posers compared to other BMW's, they look modern and are cheap. For me if just depends on what you want in a car, no doubt E36 is alot quieter, handles better, more power etc ie better for a daily, but as many have mentioned not as fun as the E30. Looks are subjective but for me an a nicely done up E30 looks far better than any E36 ive ever seen. Stock for stock E36 is probably a bit better thou. PBOY: My E30 has no cracked dash or rust and build quality is very good compared to some E36's ive seen

Love the shape of all older BM's ive owned. Not the most powerful cars around but cant really beat them for the whole package - looks, comfort, handling, price & decent power for their age etc, not to mention seeing E30's less and less so good ones stand out.

thanks, will look into it. My ones are a bit shot so thought might as well get some slightly bigger ones about 15mm to raise the rear a tad

Anyone know where to get bigger rear bottom spring pads for the E30, like 15mm

+1 good communication and good delivery times in just over one week for me

Always wondered what sort of price bracket ecu remapping costst

Don't need the picture to know who would drive that, eye sore

E30 being manual drive fairly quick most of the time. E34 & E32's casual around town but on the open road I just want slowly accelerate and cruise at speeds its built to do

Looks pretty ancient & might as well be replaced. New genuine ones are about $30-40

Big fan at the front on the engine, i quoted one up from BM Workshop awhile ago and it was bit over $300 for an E30 one, id imagine yours be similar price.so i imported one for just over $100. Could buy a 2nd hand one but bit of a gamble if the clutch is good enough. Is it easy to spin?

Never been under a E24 but should be similar to other bmws in which you only have to remove: 4 19mm? bolts at the top which attach the diff to the housing(which you seem to have done) 4 17mm driveshaft locknuts, Allen Key bolts for the 2 cv joints on the diff Big 22mm? that goes through the diff rubber diff mount

I run these as you can see. Mine are 35 offset, 6.5 inch rim. Ran fine no spacers until i renewed my brake pads then were grinded on front calipers. You could get away with a 3-5mm spacer but im getting some 10mm hubcentric ones made up so all legal and right offset. Look damm good good thou, worth every penny.

nice vid & cars bar that E36 with bonnet vents and a white grill

I know the dude who knows that and his son. Should ask him for a drive

Just a had a look again and your right it was an E32, not sure how i missed that .

Yeah Clarkson's wheel flying off cracked me up for awhile, E34 too tough for them .

3.4-3.7 ratio, medium case.

M60 is better until you have to work on it.

Least your be able to keep a leg now that you dont have it. I drove a E32 with it and it wasn't anything special just get decent shocks

then you would have to but that E21 323i in there also

Looks like mine too, think only the 325i and M3 E30 came with oil coolers

^^^ these them http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-160698546.htm

Im running -1.5-2 in the front and -2.5 rear and tyre wear has been even as over my 8000km, this is with 14"bottlecaps and 15" weaves

1st time ive dealt with them so who knows

Main reason i have a radar is for passing people,. Alot safer imo passing where there are no passing lanes & going a bit over the limit(esp when the fools speed up) than to take longer to pass and hold up people behind you. Don't remember the amount of times ive seen cops at the end of passing lanes, law pisses me off. Gotta get the money
