Am I silly or does the instrument cluster in this E36 look like that from an E46? Very cool if it is.
E36 m3 cluster with add-on chrome rings.

Looking to import a red set of these for my RC041's.

Unfortunately they 165 pounds! Roughly R2800 before shipping and import duties.

They look great...I remember seeing them while they were in the development stage.

Red ones against all that white goodness:clapper:

Thank you. I tested out engine enamel signal red on the original aluminium finish ones to see how it would look. I like it, the anodized red ones will look brilliant I think.










Two quick pics of the BC fronts.




I utilized a dead space in the garage for storing my track wheels, made up a tyre rack that is just low enough for me to load/unload without having to stand on something and yet high enough that tall people won't bump their head. Lastly, it's wide enough in case I go for wider wheels and tyres. Korn flag is there to stop the tyres putting dirty marks on the white wall.

Yes. Although i want some new top plates made that have 3.0lt m3 castor but adjustable camber. Currently I only have 3.0lt castor and fixed camber.

So today I removed the touring's well-worn-in front discs and pads and transferred them over to my E36. The touring gets the brand new discs now, this saves me having to drive the e36 around to wear the brakes in before the 3 June midvaal track day.













Took her for a drive to the mall, had to take some pics.

Preparing for the Midvaal track day on Saturday.




Don't have to raise her much to have all 4 wheels off the ground.






My track wheels.


Fitted.




Ride height.






Don't forget the towing eyes.












Ready to go!

So.... Gizmo....

Can you be talked out of this one too?

After 14years of ownership I think you would have better success talking me out of my alpine touring than my e36.


I only had the silver touring for 3 months and hadn't grown attached to her yet, that's probably why Gareth had success in his persistence.

So there is hope for me, after all :rollsmile:

Car looks great, and your dedication to your builds is more trusting that buying from the BMW factory. Gareth is a lucky guy.
