The front lip and rear diffuser, being aftermarket parts, do not fit 100%. Something i will have to live with.

I must apologize for the influx of pictures, i have been itching to do something to the E36. I love adding personal touches to my cars, i feel it is part of my DNA.

I received the car back on Friday night from Grant, once again, many thanks for the excellent service and great work from the team at Italian Auto.

Italian Auto repaired the torn shock mount by installing and welding a reinforced piece into the tower. The car drives beautifully now with no clunking sounds, etc...
While the car was with them, i had them paint and fit the front lip that i have had sitting in the store room for a while. Also, the rear diffuser was fitted.





Now, i have a problem... I had to park the car at my neighbor cos my driveway isnt exactly friendly. My E90 cleared this with a very minimal issues. The E36 starts to touch on this concrete piece (soon to be chiseled away), thereafter continues to touch on the gate rail.



Reversing in is worse as the driveway is uneven:


After effects of trying to get the car into the driveway:


With some advise from those experienced in low:


While it did help, a lot, the exhaust still scraped the gate rail. Big thanks to bra Mnce for the advise.

An then for some random pics...









The car drives so smooth, its literally low (too low for me) and slow and i love it... Only hate parking it in my driveway.

lovely Yas, just how low did you go?

Arbs is that 40mm or 60mm drop you went with.

Car does look lovely in all white.

According to the box, it is a 35mm drop... Although, on measurement, its 55mm front and 45mm rear... However, remember, the previous set of shocks had seen better days.

The only thing missing now are 15mm wheel spacers.


The car is looking tops! Reminds me of my E36 years back.
