E46 parts

Postby Garry.M » Sun Jan 22, 2012 4:51 pm

I've just picked up an 2001 E46 328 ci for spares (blown head gasket) ,,is there much I can take across to my E36 ? I know the rack can fit but was wondering about the front and rear brakes ? I noticed that the rears were vented ,,I'd have to check on realoem as to the size of the front brakes . I'll maybe keep a hold of the std exhaust until I'm at that stage and see if it can be tweeked/cut to fit my Compact.
Is no one making a 1/2 decent system for the Compact yet ?
I don't want to leave anything on this Coupe that might be of use to me later on - I'm planning to take what I need or can sell easy enough and then weigh it in
cheers , Garry

Garry, the Cat converter is full of precious metal, it wouldn't be good for a Scotsman to miss that!

Hi front brakes are a swap, you can use thge wishbones with some akg bushes to widen the front track, rear brakes don't fit a compact but i will have them off you

Jason , what are akg bushes ?
I'm just back from Sweden where I was having some fun on a frozen lake with an E30 325 and a 1.7 Puma . I met a Dutch guy who does some drifting with his E36 compact ,he'd mentioned fitting E46 front wishbones to his car . I managed to blag a few laps around the lake with him ,,,I was giggling like a school girl :lol: ,,,amazing car control though
