  • Straight outta Germany: My Dad's E36 323Ti

    So, some of you guys liked my dad's compact when I posted some pics a few months ago, so I figured why not make a build thread for it.

    He bought it like this in September 2007:
    • 8x17 ET35 Rondell 72
    • 225/45 tires
    • old KW V1 (quite old, it was one of the old normal steel ones... KWs had been INOX for a few years then, so this was most likely already over 5 years or so old)
    • Eisenmann SS exhaust
    • Schnitzer strut brace













    Here's a soundfile of how it sounded with the Eisenmann:



    Then in May 2009 some changes were made:
    • swapped out the 225/45s for 215/40 tires
    • 15mm spacers in the rear
    • swapped out the worn KW V1 for cheap TA Technix coils
    • swapped out the Eisenmann SS exhaust for an AC Schnitzer exhaust
    • swapped out the white turns for grey turns
    • swapped out the yellow fogs for normal ones











    Just a month later and he sold the Rondell 72s.

    The new wheels that came were OEM Styling 32 in 8x18 ET20 and 9x18 ET22.

    Originally, he mounted 215/35 and 225/35 on them.












    Then he went to the TÜV to get this setup approved, but there were some problems with the TÜV inspector claiming that the rear wheels having ~10mm more in diameter would mess up the ABS and something, so he wouldn't approve it. With 215/35 all around it was approved fine, but my dad raised the car up 1cm because the splitters were scraping on the parking lot of his work and he didn't want that.



















    That's it for now.

    What's to come is still unkown, he wants to fix up the interior next year, remove the silver bits one of the previous owners installed, but apart from that there are no plans yet to change anything.

    I hope I can convince him to go lower.

                    Small changes today.

                    1. Took off the splitters. What does this mean? More low of course. Coils will be adjusted once the car is sitting on summer wheels again.



                    2. Swapped the tails for rare smoked MHW ones. These are the first gen MHWs, difference is the fog light chamber which is white. On later MHWs (like I have on my Touring) it's red.

                            Now with more low.

                            Swapped the TA Technix coils for a set of JOM coils... both are el cheapo, but they do the job. There's still about 4 cm of thread left in the front, rears are all the way down. On the previous coils, the rears were all the way down also and the front had only about 10mm of thread left... and you could fit almost 2 fingers in the gap.

                            Going to wash the car tomorrow and take some proper pics.










                            One thing that makes me wonder tho... with the new coils there's almost no camber in the front.

                            Maybe we'll swap in M3 3.2 strut bearings for added negative camber.
