E36M3#215 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Damn I love that color and its a four door now the big question is it manual or auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Its manual. It is the one that got rearended by a ups truck. Car is in excellent shape otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Check out the mishimoto radiators, they look great and the price is fantastic. Glad to see Joe's M3 coming back to life. I assume it won't be out until spring but when doing the cooling system which it is probably due for swap to euro/e30 overflow system. I will be posting up how I did it soon. All OEM parts and it is self bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M318 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I was stranded in Wausau with it. I basically drove it (hard) to my buddy's house in Wausau and I saw the steam. I had the radiator out in ten minutes and the new one in in 15 minutes! The transmission is a little fucky. There is a whine when downshifting in 3rd and 4th. I may have to put all of my M318 project stuff into it... LTW flywheel and M5 clutch ext. I will just have to order a new one for my baby in the spring or over the winter. Oh well. Other than the fucky transmission (which still shifts acceptable when warm) There's the sunroof issue which I didn't even look at yet because I was too busy RAGE DRIFTING in the rain last night! OMG fun. If you don't have an M3, throw it away, Its a piece of shit! J/K. Also just some minor trim piece issues. Not to mention the rear end which I "put back together" haha! Wait till you see the pics tonight. Josiah: I threw that fucking head unit out the window on 51! I think your Killswitch Engage CD was still in there. I am sorry. I will have to check.

faja92 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 oh wowza theres an extra 15 hp with that cap!As for the head unit, I knew it sucked... you have to finesse the volume knob with a gentle touch, otherwise you're changing the equalization settings. yeah, retarded.And what Killswitch Engage?!? I hope you don't mean Devin Townsend! He's the greatest artist of our time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M318 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looks like my trans is pretty shot, clutch too. It makes me force it into gear for third and fourth sometimes when cold and what not. Looks like a replacement is in order including my chromoly flywheel and M5 clutch!

jc43089 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 How's this coming? You should pick these up. http://www.wibimmers.com/board/index.php?/topic/2108-e36-m3-suspension/ Pretty sure that car has Oreilly's shocks in front but I could be wrong.
