BMW E36 M3 3.0 project
Discussion
Bit of lockdown boredom thread resurrection. Ages since my last update when I think I'd just done the AP brakes and Diff ratio and rebuild On the whole she's behaves pretty well behaved and With the exception of the usual annual maintenance there's just been a few jobs aside. Rear arches were starting to get a bit tatty and whilst I was at it I had my jacking points, sills and bottom of front wings attended to. The rust had also crept from the bottom of the front wings to the floorpan. All this has now been sorted and is good for many years to come. Temporary fix on front wings by cutting Rot out and welding fresh metal to the bottom. It can't be seen here and whilst I've got two new wings ready to go on the car is a few years away yet from needing a full hit when I'll replace the front wings. Other jobs to note were new thermostat, replacement reinforced front subframe, new engine and gearbox mounts. She's due a big service so all fluids and valve shims as per inspection 2 will be done when my new eisenmann backbox arrives. Smashing car this, and definitely a keeper. Might refresh the HSD suspension in future, one damper has ben replaced and I'll see how the others do. before biting the bullet on a set of KW clubsports. She's long since retired from the occasional trackday but is still used as intended on the roads when we are allowed out.
