finally got some good pictures of my e36. ive had this thing for almost 2 and a half years, and its gone through a few different looks.
these pics were taken about a month ago at albert park raceway, before they packed everything up. only thing different on the car now is some tiny changes to the headlights
it started life as a 318is, and has slowly become an m3(including the euro s50b30). i bought the car as a daily, and everything else has just sort of happened, thats why i didnt buy an m3 to begin with.
im waiting for a medium case diff to rebuilt with 3.46 gears and helical lsd before i put a completely rebushed rear end in along with reinforcement plates, as ive already smashed one 4cyl diff.
and an old pic of engine bay, seeing as he didnt edit any pics of the engine bay that he took on the day :S
i like the chunkier tires
Very nice! I want an ltw spoiler so bad.

Beautiful in everyway.
And thank you for not putting an M badge on it, even though it looks and is prob faster then 50% of the M3's out there.

Love it, great looking car.
its good to see another e36 with beefy tires. I love the front splitter/rear-wing combo. Oh and acs side mirrors are awesome if the car is not a M, love it.
and the interior of course!
genuine m3 gt brackets and hardware, with a carbon fiber replica of the genuine gt adjustable splitter. i havent done any full undertray stuff yet.
that was one thing i didnt want, seeing as its not a real m. i ran the m3 door strips for a while with nothing in the badge spot, trying to decide what i wanted to put there, i ended up going the M clubsport badges, so apart from the cluster, theyre the only "m" badges on the car. main reason i chose them is because my first car was a holden, and they had hsv clubsport, so its sort of a throwback/inside joke among friends. and its the only badge i liked without going custom
oxer threw up some bay shots for me

Lovely car. Well executed.
dat motor. Awesome car. Height looks a bit odd--rear is higher than the front.
edit: God damn that splitter is perfection, did you build it?

Yeh, the rears a touch higher than id like, but it scrubs like a bitch on hard bumps on the right hand side at the moment. Ive gotta play around with it a bit once i put new rear end in.Originally Posted by adamnur
Nah, wish i had those skills, the splitter was made by a guy in usa, he sells them on ebay. The front edge is yellowing a tiny bit(its been on since ~jan) and i had to modify the mount holesto fit the bolts in properly. Its held up well to getting smashed into the road at speed multiple times
Are those style 32s on it? I can't tell looks like what I have but Idk haha
Nice transformation.
Hot damn that's one piece of eye candy. Love the transformation.
You have very good taste. What size tires are you running?
