| My car came equipped with the optional sport package. This included leather M3 luxury power sport seats, and an M Technic suspension (stiffer and shorter springs, stiffer shocks and thicker anti-sway bars). This served to give the car a lower stance than a regular 325i. It is a very nice suspension-compliant and handles well. And even though it was designed by the Mototsports division, it still was no M3 suspension. I hang out a lot at the E36 messageboard and happened upon a great deal. A 1995 M3 suspension for only $300! My friend Luis was upgrading his beautiful 1995 M3 Lux and was parting out his suspension. It came with shocks, struts, springs and the swaybars. But I soon discovered this was going to be a straight bolt on. There are a few M3 parts that I need to make this a sucessful conversion. So again I turned to the helpful and knowledgable people on the board and got a list of the parts I need. Many thanks go out to Rob Yap and� Steve Walsh for the info and to Luis Rueda on the M3 board for the suspension! Installation will be done by Benchmark Motors in Columbia MD. I will update this page with before and after pics and more info when the conversion is completed. |
