Just behind my e30 is and e36 328i
Image

Ive been looking at it (the ugly thing) and wanted to know whats involved in taking parts (eg engine and struts?) and would it be worth it.
I know i need loom of it and all that but would the finished artical be worth the time off the road?
The e36 has full coilovers, e36 m3 brakes and what i belive are magniesum rims but would like to a) find out where they came from originally and b) would they look yummy?

Price/condition depending :D

Is it a sport?

Its waiting for a diff to go in so dont know if im going to break it and its not a sport, was planning to strip it out and take it round the track as only paid 800 with tax and test and 40k miles.
Bodywork to tbh is a bit tatty but the engine would be lovely in my e30 and just love the wheels and how light they are :cool:
