Slammed E36's with non-M bumpers.

[B13PWR]

This has been a great thread for someone who was going to get an M3 front bumper to match the engine, gearbox and the rest of the running gear.

An old photo of mine but about as low as I could run it on the Eibach coilovers I had at the time. Offset 20 wheels with 25mm spacers on the front didn't help ride heights either.

Alright you two, I don't know what the rest of either one of your cars looks like because my ocd wouldn't let me take the focus of my eyes off your side marker lights. It's as simple as 1-2-3... I'll break it down for you: 1. remove side marker lights, 2. flip them upside down, 3. re-install them on the opposite side of the vehicle... Done. Simple as that, they are in fact upside-down-back-ass-wards.


Now then back to topic. I personally <3 the M3 front bumper... But, Don't extremely care for the M3 rears. The non-M rear diffuser looks so much cleaner. So lets see some more non-M asses!

P.S. (IMO) 75% of the aftermarket bumpers shown so far look like J Leno trying to toss Rosy O'Donals' fat salad.... = not good

Tucking 16s will be lower again in the summer

Damn, I saw that blue e36 and I thought it was some newbie ... didn't realize it was your new car. Looks like a nice clean start. Do work man.

btw, Just for the record, if you still have your old wheels, I would totally paint them white and rock them on the new car.

My 318i (M43 1.8 8v) is slammed today after M50B25 swap.. Crapy phone pics, but good ones are on there way, back is going to be lowered more, it has e34 Steelies in the back and e46 steelies up the front with now 195/50/15 tyres, this pictures are with the old tires and old M Rim, like i said, i'm now runnin steelies cuz its looks nice imo..:

[SethuM]

[Kaantjee]

I am swapping of a 318i (m43 1.8 8v) to a M50B25 engine, so tomorrow i am going to hook up the rear axle and so the coilover set..

[SethuM]

[Kaantjee]

Look at my Camber and steelies (gotta paint again):




(wehehe, just kiddin, replaced my rear axle with a 325i one with my new coilovers.. i post a pic tomorrow..)

[SethuM]

how you get your car on the lift haha

[slocar]

Seth, you're almost an inch lower than me judging by the frame rail shot; Florida must be smooth as hell because even with my careful driving, I'm pretty sure I'd rip off half the car around here.

That said, I still want new wheels and skinnier tires ...

[mo gun e36]

im from Tampa its flat as far as the eye can see. ive seen cars down there sparking from low he can go lower hahaha

[SethuM]

oh no lol florida is not smooth at all!
they doing construction everywhere so every now and then you have these big steel plates in the middle in the road, and that not even the worst part,.. lol

PS my frame rails used to be closer to the ground but the speed bumps dented them in like half inch lol

[Kaantjee]

how you get your car on the lift haha

Nice rearlights, sprayed it too?
Youre bimmer is awsome

And how i got my car on the lift? Hahhaa, i higherd my coilovers but not enough cuz the underside of the car scraped over the bump..

And than i jacked it up @ the front subframe so i could push the arms under the car and lift it up.. the car is still in the air because i have to instal the rear coils and a complete new rear axle/subframe/diff/cardan/discs/etc.. for my swap

[SethuM]

haha yea rear lights sprayed
i dont even bother trying to get my car on the lift lol

what suspension you running?

[Kaantjee]

I'm Runnin on Tec-Tuning coilovers..

But haven't lowered the back like i said, because of i was changing my rear axle, subframe, discs, diff, etc.. from 318 to 325.. Than i am going to install the rear coils to!

First time posting about my 93 325is. Hope its slammed enough. Can be lower with my struts but can't be any lower with houston roads. I keep it simple yet pure.
