My E36 328i Sport

I think mine are 10mm (I've had them off countless times but still can't remember) and they look like this for reference:

LSD is a must! Nice car.
Ahhh f**k it - that picture has sold it for me. Spacers and coilovers next year for me.
What coilies do you have Matt?
As CS is always right, I've ordered a pair of 15mm spacers and a pair of brand new clear indicators. Updates mid-week...

15mm???
The above picture is 10, TEN, and it's pretty wide.
Cancel sir, cancel.
Oh and you don't need an exhaust on a bimmer, just a tip at best. They're not meant to roar down the road, you'll just look council.
You'll learn Joeman, you'll learn.

I can guarantee that 15 will be fine.

Going to clean up the Bilsteins and keep them. It's not like it matters when it's stuck in traffic 90% of the time anyway.
I'm planning on getting a daily in the new year, so it will most likely become a lot more 'driver focused'. For now though, I'm not arsed.
Having said that, I've got a new throttle cable waiting to go on, and I'm going to order a Z3M shifter kit this week along with some fresh gearbox oil.

Strangely, your camera seems to "worsen" the car somehow?! I mean no offence in saying that, in fact quite the contrary. The car looks so much better in person IMO.
Wingmirrors aren't great but other than that and the indicators which you've already said you're changing, it's lovely.
As long as you enjoy it, who else matters?
Anyway, I need to post some love for this:
That is so nice! Despoilered looks 900% better. So, so much classier.

Agree with de-spoliering. It's certainly on my to-do list. And yeah, my pictures aren't great. I've kinda lost a bit of love with photography at the moment due to doing it day in day out with mundane s**t... But cheers Ed!

This is a prime example of modding for the sake of it.
You have, imho, ruined what was a beautiful looking car.

They are shitty JOM's. The car came with them on. They aren't horrendous, but not great either. I'd like something a bit better when I have the other things I want to do sorted.
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
I made a mistake, as I've said. New ones on the way.
E36 328i
Something that is easily adjustable on the rear (JOM's have adjustable spring cups, ballache). I like the look of HSD's, I think the chap who has the 328 track car on here runs them. Can't remember his user name!
If you wouldn't mind. Not sure if your wheels will have the same offset etc though. I'll do some research.
Both appear to be 17x7.5 ET42 on the front. So yeah, if you could check it'd be much appreciated! It's odd, because a friend with an E36 M3 has 15mm spacers on the front and it looks nothing like...
(hope you don't mind me using your picture Niall!)

The M3 backbox is not a straight swap. You need to swap the whole system from the manifold AFAIK. Different sized pipe.

Ballache. Oh well just the golf tee mod for now.
I was looking at your car actually on eBay (before you got it obviously). Looked a good'un on the ad.
Had one back in 2004/5, they're so easy to drive slowly aren't they, but have the beans if you really want to shift - good for the licence, my Type R and 172 have landed me in bother a few times.

Golf tee mod isn't that bad. Mine kinda gargles when the exhaust is hot. Sounds nice enough and not loud in the slightest.
That's one thing that's really pleasantly surprised me - how it drives at slow speed. So so easy!
Yeah, got quite lucky with the lack of rust in most places. The bootlid is a bit scabby and I've found some on the passenger door, but I got it for £1400 so I'm not moaning!

I'd love to know, if you don't mind?

I think his name is cruisecontrolstalk29, aka f0xy.
I like the look of them too, especially with the 0% finance deals on drift works! They are basically rebranded H+Rs too I think, the monopro version? IIRC, stretching my memory there.
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Flywheel would be awesome. I tried to remove the CDV only to find it had already gone! The DMF makes shifting quite a chore
Didn't even realize they had a DMF. Lol.
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Yeah man, mine had a new one about a year ago too - wish he had ditched it!
At least it's not going to break anytime soon though eh!
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Are they just hubcentric with longer bolts?
E36 328i
Yeah, no make on them either.
I've been looking for stud conversion kits but there doesn't seem to be much choice? Quite expensive too.
Excellent news! Thanks for checking!
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Yeah thanks for checking matt!
Do you get much scrubbage? Stock tyre sizes?

Clutch Delay Valve - a valve that restricts the flow of fluid to the slave cylinder. Makes for sloppy clutch engagement, but gives the 'nice' 'soft' gearchanges that OAPs larvveee.
E36 328i
No problem chaps.
No scrubbing, it used to when the rear was lower, even with just me in the car. Now the rear is raised I can have a full car and still nothing.
Not sure on the stock tyre sizes but the rears are 225/45/17 and fronts 215/45/17.
Danith - CDV is very easy to do and very worth while
