Got a e36 99 compact 1.9 8 valve as a daily, and tbh i think its pretty fun. its under powerd, a bit boaty, but for what i paid i cant grumble. toyed with the idea of tracking it as some stress free fun, and not crying if i bin it. Seen some cheap ebay coiler kits etc, and anti roll bar kits, bushes etc. For say 3-400 quid, whats the best upgrade i could throw at it to tidy up the handling. I put new genuine front arms on last year, so they are relatively tight.
thanks
thanks
Wow thanks for all the input! Much appreciated. I’m leaning towards a coil over kit on eBay, as I’m sure the 20 year old shocks are past their best. But would I need to re Bush before that?
The engine is the m43, ands it’s bearable as long as you keep your speed up.
What’s the best shout ref bushes or suspension first? Thanks

Depends how good the existing setup is. There's a lot you'd want to do to make it drive better on track, but perhaps just spend that initial £300 taking it on a track, getting a feel for the car and upgrade the things you are not happy with.
It feels like if I take it on a track at the mo, and hit some quickish corners it won’t be very happy lol. Just to say I’m no driving expert, far from it, but I can tell it’s to soft and wallow as it stands at the mo. Gassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
