[Wout CSL]

Hi all, I'm Wouter from the Netherlands.
Being here for a while and reading a lot, I thought it's time to show my own build.
This is my BMW E36 323i coupe exe from 1995 in this pic is almost as I bought it, couple thing changed like amber pinkers for white OEM and OEM 325i exhaust system.
The BMW was on style 22's 17x7,5 et 41 and was lowered with Eibach Pro-kit on OEM dampers.

I started working on the power of the engine, changed cams now S52B32US, full 325i exhaust system, M50 intake, debaffled airbox with K&N filter, fan delete and custom chip on dyno. Result from 170hp->230,5hp!
So now the car had to be lowered more, so I bought Bilstein B10 Power kit and staggered OEM wheels style 39's 17x7,5 et 41 225/45 and 17x8,5 et 41 245/40 and I painted bumpers and skirts.

Of course this wasn't low enough so new goodies have been bought. That's my old man behind the wheel

V-maxx XXtreme coilovers, height and damping adjustable set made in the Netherlands. OEM E36 M3 strut mounts and E46 M3 cabrio RSM and all other OEM stuff needed.
Coilovers front and rear at lowest position.

Quite disappointing :.(
So helper springs in the front and in the rear spring pads and perchs had to go too.

Now it's a lot better, so now I'm busy with spacing front and rear, bought a new goodie.

Will update soon.
P.S. sorry for the dirty car and pretty bad pictures

A little update, rolled the rear fenders, fitted 20mm spacers in the front and 12mm in the rear
Rear wheels still rub a little so some rolling has to be done

You need some skinny tires!

I really like this setup, looks like a car not like a piece of shit. Engine mods are nice things to have in there also.

I want to stick to the OEM tyre-size for several reasons;
- Form & function; I drive the car hard(don't trust the stretch)
- Don't want the speedometer to be off
- It suits the OEM+ build

Your current wheelsize + 2 inches + the flattest tire you can find = same on speedo as current size

Nothing wrong with stretch if your tire pressure is high enough


Lekker bakkie verder hoor

Lol defenitly no plans for 19"

[a112]

Huge tire pressure leads to bad grip, some people are concerned about this including myself.

ziet er goed uit jonge

[Riskant]

Didn't mean hella-stretch... Just a little for needed clearance..
These are balloons...
Speedo difference is minimal to none...

Just my 2 cents..
Nonetheless .. Proper car!

17" Is just the right size on 36's..

[Draggin_ma_balls]

Would love a bimmer!

Haha balloons

Thanks for your $0.02, advice taken, and will reconsider my tyre size
Any suggestions?

[Riskant]

F + R 2 sizes smaller?

That would probably do the trick ...

Www.willtheyfit.com
It wil calculate the speedo diff. , if your really concerned bout that..

Ps. Hoe bevalt de M50 inlaat? Heb hem al dik een half jaar liggen
Vooraf ook op de dyno geweest?

[Wout CSL]

Yeah I'm looking for new tyre setup

I'm in doubt, fronts are 17x7.5 195/40/17 or 205/40/17-> 8% or 6,5% error.
For the rear 17x8,5 215/35/17 or 225/35/17 same tacho difference as above.

But 225/35/17 is not a tyre size which you can choose a lot; Kuhmo, Hankook, Dunlop & Falken

M50 manifold works great for top end hp gain, but you will lose low- and some midrange torque.
Haven't been on dyno before all mods, just when I was finished, 230,5hp 267nm

U have PM!

[Wout CSL]

Installed new Meyle HD control arms and Meyle tie rods.
Then aligned the car:
Front: camber -3,3 degress, 0 toe
Rear: camber -3,5 degrees, 0,10 toe in(maybe I wanna let it set to 0)

My OEM Styling 39 wheels are at a wheels doctor now I have big plans with them,
hope the will be ready soon.
Also there will be fitted way smaller tires then I previously had

For now I'm driving on the Z3 wheels with snow tires of my girlfriend's Z3 coupe

[P78]

hmm snow tyres??

[Wout CSL]

Hell yeah!! Happy with my idea to refurbish the styling 39's!

Fitted Conti ContactSport 3 195/40/17 in the front and 215/35/17 in the rear.





Stretch on 17x7,5"


Strech on 17x8,5"


Gonna fit them tomorrow and lower the E36 to absolute max

[Wout CSL]

A quick picture as promised of the refurbished wheels mounted on my Bimmer.

[nellydragracer]

Looks great, could do with being a bit lower at the rear though.

Thanx bro, I totaly agree on lowering rear a bit more. And I want to poke the front and rear more with some 35mm fronts and 25mm rear spacers.
