Get a 99,last year the E36 was built,so all the issues had been worked out ! If it's going to be a track car,don't worry about the mileage as long as you are rebuilding the motor and improve the handling with some good coilovers . Also make sure there's no rust. Get a coupe ! Good Luck,let me know if you need help or have more questions ! |

Btw, If I remember correctly, PTG built a 4-door e36 m3 to race once because they thought the 4-door chassis was stronger than the coupe. Quote:
However, a few tweaks of suspension can make the 96+ just as crisp. & people prefer the more torque of the 96+ anyway, included me. I had both & I liked my 99 better than my 95.

Yeah, I ran square setup on my 99 too. I did some mods to it for the weekend track events, a few things like Ground Control coil-overs & camber plates, sway bars, SS brake lines, hawk pads, some bushings, & Dinan intake, chip, exhaust. I always wanted to do the cams like yours, but honestly I got chicken out.

Did you get a custom tune from Jim C. for the 11.5:1 compression? Running on pump gas or 100? Deciding on if I blow my head gasket if I want to rebuild for NA or get it ready for FI.

I have almost the same build as you on my E36 its just missing the ACS boot and delete and a BBTB. I have a tune with Active Autowerke but I will have to see what they can do for the crummy 91 octane I get here in California.
