Re: advice on e36 m3 please?

Put a set of ARP rod bolts in it for £80 plus £12 for the sump gasket which should protect the bottom end from spinning shells and enjoy your car...

Re: e36 touring, something is draining my battery!

You will find that behind the dash of e36 with climate they will make a noise with the key out but that's normal, it's the resistors and it's normal but that's not where your drain is. Your drain no doubt is a bare wire somewhere touching the chassis
