There's always something a bit weird about people who refer to themselves in the third person... Car looks nice enough, I guess you'll be heading off to an E36 forum now?

Nearly had the E36 year and it's held up well, only needing a new clutch slave cylinder.

Until 5 days ago when I started hearing a clunking noise coming from the rear. Jacked the car up today and found this :eek: :o 8O

Snapped spring:

Well and truly fooked :(

How do I check the size of springs I have got? Need some new ones now.

Cheeky shot of the Bruvlines :P

No different to driving on cut springs...

Compared to what?

Mine is proper low but still drives well and gets me there despite only being a 1.8. It's done me proud in 11 months of driving, never let me down 8)

Snapped rear coil springs are common on E36's
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

They are quite rusty but still never expected the snappage.

Check the coloured dashes on them. I have 2 on the shelf from an e36 convertible that are ok. Just let me know what the colou of the dashes of paint are and I'll cross reference witht e pair I have.
