BMW E36 328i Sport Coupe

I feel like I should update a little, car went in for it's MOT and passed requiring just one tyre and a bit of play in a ball joint!

I have just managed to find someone that doesn't need a remortgage to do the wheels and bolts for me so they are booked in for a week Monday to be done.

In the meantime I had it detailed by my brother in law so so far this is the result!

Can't wait to get a replacement bonnet and have the wheels done, the should transform it...

Looking good but I think you need a little drop at the front mate, looks a bit high.



This is with the B12 Pro-Kit fitted, still needs to settle a bit more at the front imo..

The angle doesn't help it but it does look a little high doesn't it.

When the suspension requires a refresh i'll be fitting something a little better. Love the way yours sits.

Wheels are being refurbished week after next, and i'm on the hunt for a bonnet (Titan Silver) if anyone knows of one local to Sussex.

Been a whle but another update - Car is in having most of the bodywork sorted now, top of the windscreen (i.e the roof and windscreen surround), rear spoiler and osr 1/4 into pass door for a key mark and a rust bubble. Hopefully get it back mid next week, looing forward to seeing it. Also tidied up the interior so apart form the sagging glove box it's sorted inside now. Just need to change the O2 sensor on the exhaust and that should cure the idle...

Well, i'll update again - Sent the car in to have the wheels refurbished and one thing led to another. Changed my mind on the wheel finish so have had the bodywork attended too. Had a key mark on one wing, rust patch and some heavy rust from a poorly fitted screen a while back on the top of the window, a badly sprayed rear spoiler and some small various dents. Here you go!









Expecting the car back soon (I hope) and then I can get on with getting the wheels refurbished, going for a polished (similar to oem look) lip with silver centers and new bolts.

What was the cost of the paint? I'd like to get something similar done for me e36 too!

Would also be good to know where the work was done if you're happy with it!

Thanks!

[ChrisDT]

The cost is sort of a mate doing me a favor really, but as far as the work goes i'm hoping to have the car back at the weekend so i'll know more then. The previous work I have seen has been very good. He couldn't get the finish I wanted on the wheels so I decided to have some niggly bits done on the car whilst he had it.

It's back...
