Nice work!

Sold for £6350!

Think it'll be worth a lot more in a few years time.

Just had a look at the wishbones, they are coming up as the same part number as a regular E36 3 series (or may be inter changeable)

Matching engine code too and very reasonable price.

Not too sure what your source is there but M3 wishbones are M3 specific.

Check RealOEM or BMWFans.

Nice project btw!

I was told that E30 wishbones are interchangeable with both the regular E36 and also the E36 M3.

The E36 3.0 and E36 M3 Evo use different knuckle bushes though. Same arm but different bushes.

When I changed the wishbones on my 95 3.0 coupe I was told only BMW will supply them as they are an alloy wishbone where as normal E36's use steel WBs, The bushes are pressed into the Alloy wishbone and is not replaceable!! and due to time and expense they advised to change the whole unit.

ps car is coming up nice...

Market is slower than expected on these. If anything, E46 M3s have started climbing quicker than the E36s.

Good news is that there are still bargains to be had out there if you look hard enough!

Agreed. Hasn't really taken off. I note the 1996 one owner techno violet coupe, which sold twice within a month earlier this year (original asking 7-8k, then 10k) is now up for sale at weybridge car auction with a guide price of 8-10k, I think.

I wonder if the e36 vs e46 are comparable to 964 vs 993 Porsches, respectively?

Found a nice little project to sink my teeth into again. Work has already begun on it with the proper M3 door mouldings already fitted now. You'll have to excuse the picture, it was the only place I could park with free parking available
