I ran an E36 touring for just over a Year - only just sold it - they are great cars.

1) The stance looks correct to me - even with 16" wheels there isnt a huge amount of clearance between the tyre and the arch on standard suspension - so with the bigger wheels you have it will look even tighter.
2) Wheels look to be off an E46 or an E39 ??
3 ) Don't know sorry
4 ) I have a 1997 E36 touring brochure that lists all the options - the options list is massive - is yours an SE ? if so it will have a lot of stuff that was optional already.

Can't get the pics to display any bigger :roll:

e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite
