hey i have a 1995 318ti and i am in dire need of a new suspension with a 1998 full suspension from an e36 m3 fit onto my car and about how much will it cost to have it put on |  |  | | 04-30-2009, 01:54 AM | #2 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
The rear from the M3 won't work because even though the 318ti is an E36, our rear suspension is similar to the E30. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

and in this case does anybody want the rear suspension for a 1998 m3 | | | | | 04-30-2009, 02:23 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
18 nuts and bolts all together, including the lugs. 13, 16, 17, 18, and possibly 19mm sockets. 18/19 wrench, and a breaker bar. Get some jack stands and set aside 2hours if its your first time. Shouldnt take more than 20 mins. Rear springs fit, not the shocks. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

If youre buying used, mileage over 70k is usually considered "worn" but if its better than yours, i guess use them. Look for signs of leakage, damping/rebound properly, and overall shape...scratches, rust, etc. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone
