Sick Puppy 1 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 If repairable, depending on how much you got it for, repair it. Or part it out. E36 wagon would be good, certainly a project I'd keep tabs on here, but resale? Dunno... Please don't Ti it - am I the only one here that doesn't like compacts? Simply cannot stand them, they look like child versions of the coupe - "one day when I grow up, I'm gonna be a - !" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1284 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) this is the donar car , all panels repaired already (managed to get most panels it needed in teh correct colour) just putting through compliance now. just should be wof'ed and reg by tuesday. and in for some paint on the fornt bumper and front panel and rr quarter next week glen do you see any electrical issues. with m3 cluster fitting , ews ?? , abs lights , asc etc donar m3 is non ews. 1998 318ti auto has ews and asc etc also will need a e30 medium case diff (lsd) axles??rear hub bearings?? is this correct. will e36 m3 rear brakes bolt up to the ti arms? or use 328i rear ones etc?? can i use the m3 rear shocks , but maybe need some other rear springs to get the correct height Edited May 27, 2011 by Brent HARTGE535i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 I 'm not sure...maybe a wiring loom swap with the cluster.. ASC isn't a problem.. do a bit more research on the other forum. I know the pin config is different on the Ti's for the cluster... been there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 Might pay to have a read through my build threads Brent. Using a M3 engine will be quite different in alot of respect but most of the other stuff will be the same. I can help out and talk some of it through though. You might have quite a few different issues than I had though. Hairdressers cars are much more complicated than the average crap E36 ... you still coming tomorrow ??

BM WORLD 1284 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 Whats the size difference between the M42 and M3 radiator? Expansion tank on the side of the M42 rad could free up a bit of space yes though of that , could use a nz spec 325i 328i rad with the tank on the left , or a jap spec 325i 328i rad with the seperate tank mounted on the right side to the back of the radiatorBattery can always go into the boot ( hairdryer / curler space)yea thought of that , not a lot of room in the boot of these .maybe 2 small motorbike batterys in each corner pocket not alot of room where the tools are most of the websites are refering to lhd cars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 The body systems (ECU'S) are seperate to the drive systems. You only have to worry about DME, EGS & ABS... ASC is not a problem unless the M3 has ASC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
