Just thought id share this with you all. This is my other beemer that ive had for over 2 years. Its now tucked away in the garage and hardly used as it retired from daily driving duties when i bought the 325i touring.

Its Avus Blue with 93k on the clock and fbmw/indsh. Ive put new bilsteins on it and Eibach springs 30/35 drop. Its a faultless drive and great fun though not as inspiring as my old e30 M3.

I remember someone recently saying they were going over to the "dark side"..well this one could be for sale soon.

Nice looking car. Avus Blue really suits an E36 coupe.

Cheers mate, With the right tyres the 18" wheels really suit the e36. Ive got 225/40/18 up front and 245/35/18 on the rear.

Ill definately let you know when i come to sell the car. It probably wont be till end of July anyway as it will have 12 months MOT and 6 months tax. Ill be replacing the brake pads up front this month and also fitting a new radiator. I like to get everything sorted before MOT time!! Ill PM you nearer the time. If you need anymore pics/info etc just ask. Oh and i have the original airbox, front shocks and all 4 springs.

Have you got an LSD on it? Im trying to get one off an ebayer whos dragging his feet :roll:

Howve you found the Bilsteins and Eibach suspension compared to the stock stuff?

The Sports come with Bilsteins as standard. I replaced my front ones as they looked a bit tatty. The Eibachs make a big difference to the overall feel and handling so its a big improvement on standard springs. Mine has the LSD. Are you trying to get a whole car or just the diff?!

Hmm do the Eibach affect the ride much? Altho your already on 18"s! Mind you i can see the car sits beautifully on the rims and the lowering, tempting to do it to my own one day :D

Ive bought the diff off someone but its kinda hard trying to arrange collection and delivery cause the guy isnt the quickest off the blocks :mad:

Typical ebay then..hope you manage to get the diff without too much hassle!! The Eibachs are perfect and dont effect the ride at all even with the 18's. No rubbing issues or tracking etc. All the suspension bushes on Sports are from the M3.

Cheers mate.. :) Its kept garaged and covered which keeps it looking good..and the fact that i only use it on sunny days which at the moment is hardly ever!

This will definately be up for sale in July when it'll have 12 months MOT and 6 months tax.

I have all the original bits to go with the car..airbox, springs, shocks etc but not the original wheels.

That sounds good, especially as you wasn't keeping your speed down, i was expecting them to do about 35mpg.

A 328 on LPG would work out cheaper on fuel than my 306tdi !
