Very broad questions - But if you have to change the suspension coilovers seem to be the route, or have a look on M3 cutters or E36 Kings on Facebook there are some quite helpful people on both. There is a set of standard Titan Silver mirrors on there for £10 at present, respray is the harder part - original colour i was quoted between £1400 and £2k for mine. If you want one already done mine is up for sale

oh really, I dont want to waste your time as I am in initial stages but how much? details etc

I have seen a bargain which has an exceptional service histrory BUT has had coilovers, those horrible m3 mirrors and coilovers and I'm wondering how much to restore to mint....

For the springs and dampers I'd go to BMW unless you get something like Bilstein B6s/B8s.

The mirrors I would get from a breaker.

As for the bodyshop it is a case of calling around. I know SPAWN on M3cutters has a good reputation.

Which coilovers are on the car in question? If they are JOMs or TA Technix etc. I'd run a mile from the car ; if they have gone that cheap on suspension where else have they got something just because 'it was cheap'? I wouldn't worry too much if they are decent coilovers.

I know of a sound E46 328i for sale if you are interested. It's an estate and has a fastidious owner. Miles are high at 150k but the car is very sound ; I've driven worse low milers! It's had the key areas done including the lollypop bushes, new clutch and DMF etc.

I'd have bought it if I fancied an E46 and if I didn't have my eye on another car.

This thread has got respray prices on. Currently I am expecting £2-3k for a cash job

I've had very good service from Costwold BMW for OEM spares (mention PH for discount) and http://www.jdhautoservices.co.uk/ as a breaker.

For the mirrors, second hand/ebay/breakers yard imo. Plenty about.
