Re: rear beam rage!

the bushes are cheap enough, but quite labour intensive then. i was going to get danthe to powdercoat a spair rear beam and fit the bushes. then i was going to ask my local bmw garage to fit it. ££££

rear calipers

hi, is there a difference between the rear calipers of a touring and the other e30s? i thought there is :?

would the rear calipers of an abs touring fit ones with no abs?

what are the differences between the brakes on the front of a 318 touring(vented) and a 325?

can anyone let me know, cheers

Re: e36 touring vs e46 touring

its looking that way for me to. the e46 is a nice car and drive. although the e36 is ahead at the moment, mainly because i like older cars.

i also like the e39 touring but i wont start that post :mad:

Re: e36 touring vs e46 touring

yeah not the fastests brick around the 2.0l. you need the 2.5 20v 170bhp or 225bhp t5 winkeye .

cheap old cars to buy and go on forever. obviously its not a bmw so thats why i was going to upgrade to a e36touring/e46touring in the summer :)

Re: e36 touring vs e46 touring

come on guys, i only wanted peoples opinions, pros and cons of having a e36 touring Vs e46 touring.

im sure people have had good and bad experiences with both. i would be spending a max of £1500, so just wanted views on which would be the better buy with my budget.

there are companys out there who provide these types of exhausts for classic cars, so it should be possible for mine. just because the market would be small (me) doesnt make it a bad idea. i could get one made up for half the price of a bmw one and get a life time warranty. you dont understand one t...
