3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) Hi All Im new to Bimmersport so thought id introduce myself. I recently brought myself a NZ new e36 318is manual coupe. Pretty wrapped with it as I was looking for a tidy man is coupe for a very very long time. Its absolutly mint condition 2 owners, 86k and got it for what I reckon was a steal! Planning on doing a few mod's to it. Nothing too over the top thou. Genuine BMW mags, lowering it a little, 35% tints, and some nice sounds. Would like to hear some comments, good or bad. All will be taken onboard Cheers Brett Edited June 1, 2007 by 3 SERIES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks all for the welcome. Just brought some mags for it today, so slowly getting there. Here is a very very quick amature photoshop pic of the mags on the car. Now have to decide if I should go low or super low springs? Any input and advice would be appreciated. Cheers Brett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Brett 18s? hyper silver? go for a set of superlow jamex ones on trademe seem to be good low springs will drop the car 35-40 superlow 50 itl make more of a diffrence an it wont be draging its arse along the ground but if you wanted you could compress the factory ones an level the car out eg i found that it was.....low......HIGH front BACK bit like a drag car end of the day its up to how low you want it hope this mite help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 Cheers The mags are 17" hypersilver. Its a hard decision as once I have the springs on the car, they can't go back! If I go putting super lows on the car with 17's will I get guard rub and trouble going over judder bars etc? I want the car to look like its been lowered but not so low that its rediculous. I want it at a nice height. Can anyone speak from experience? Cheers Brett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Brett i had superlows in before with little gaurd rub on a 19x8.5 wheel so you should be sweet azz for jutterbars you should be ok i had a another e36 coupe on 17 m3 wheels with superlow jamex wasnt a problem but by the sounds of things go for just normal lowered springs Edited June 2, 2007 by PBOY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Brett Hey man, i had superlow kings on my Z3 which are the same for any E36 coupe, they were obviusly really low but not rediculously low that sh*t would scrap, i only had 16" wheels on it so with 17"s it should be algood.
