e36 front lip

[xXnimbusXx]

so I bought an lip for my e36(decided not to go with an m3 front bumper due to popularity) . and test fitted and it was just too low. My car is already dropped and if I install the lip I would only have 2 and a half inches from the ground. I'm afraid it was bust and crack etc. any other solution without having to swap out the shock and springs?...

I'd suggest the M3 bumper with an oem polyurethane lip that flex's. What car is it and what lip did you get?

[xXnimbusXx]

325i, and its a lip from craigslist that I bought from.

timmy sucks ball, i like the lip, just put it on and take it easy on the road

[xXnimbusXx]

***** you know I wont be able to even get on my own driveway without scratching or breaking it.

[DinanM3atl]

Rieger GT Cup in ABS

[xXnimbusXx]

when i grow up i wanna be just like u

[Revmaynard]

Yo Timmy, I called my friend and he said he dropped the Bimmer scene but he only really knew stuff about e30's. From reading his posts DinanM3ATL definitely knows a thing or two about e36's. But really, get the e30 ;). Lol.

DinanM3ATL is the man!!! and nooo e30. Don't wanna drop anymore money on another car. Thinking about selling the lip now and just get an m3 front bumper etc. Or maybe if I can find a nice turbokit for the low that would be great too.

[DinanM3atl]

e30 > e36

And I have both :)

[Revmaynard]

See, I told him! Haha. But I can see not wanting to buy a whole second car. Lol.

[xXnimbusXx]

hehehe well im still deciding what i want. thinking about a turbo. Any sugeestion DinanM3ATL?...

[xXnimbusXx]

:blah: by the way its a 325i

[DinanM3atl]

e36 325i?

Year?

PM Techno550 on bimmerforums. SICK, quick spool on the m50 325i. His 325i makes ~300hp and doesn't feel like it is turbocharged but it SKOOTS!

[matthewAPM]

if you want your stuff done right, him up onURleft. he will send you to mike. best BMW work IMO.

hehehe well im still deciding what i want. thinking about a turbo. Any sugeestion DinanM3ATL?...How much power do you want to put down and what's your budget?

[xXnimbusXx]

haha I only want 300 to 350. And my budget for parts alone might be around $2000 in mid march.

[DinanM3atl]

Hold out and put that money in the bank. Save up and go with Mike's kit. TRM is his company and it is in Suwanee. Don't worry about cobbling something together on the cheap. It never ends all that well...

[turborodarry]

i have the same problem on my rx7

+1. Mike is great. ill be there this weekend. lol

[xXnimbusXx]

you know how much fro the proce range for mike's kit?

[xXnimbusXx]

also what do you guys think of the e46 m3 front bumper on the e36?... I'm having mix thoughts.

[DinanM3atl]

I don't remember the cost.

I would say an e36 M3 front bumper personally.

[matthewAPM]

Not sure on cost, ask onURleft

IMO i would NEVER put a e46 bumper on a e36. just doesnt flow with the car

[xXnimbusXx]

yea hmmm, what other lip can I get for the m3 e36 bumper?

[DinanM3atl]

MaxVelocity

Look to them.

[matthewAPM]

+1 bimmerworld has some.

[xXnimbusXx]

awesome, think i found something I want. First have to locate an m3 bumper.

[matthewAPM]

^^ try bimmerforums.com. someone should have one for sale

[sogood]

Older thread, I know. But if you're still looking, go check out DDMTuning.com. They have the E36 M3 bumpers for right around $100, maybe even a little less, IIRC. Same bumper that Turner Motorsport and many of places sell for atleast $250.

As far as E36 M3 bumper lips, the Max Velocity RS and GTR are nice, but they just look like an enlarged stock lip, not worth the $250+ they sell for, IMO. I like the Rieger GT Cup Spoiler like DinanM3ATL has, I think they're around $240 shipped these days though..

[DinanM3atl]

I changed to a more track oriented splitter for some serious work!

yea I checked it out not too long ago. its like $112. which is an awesome deal. I just haven't check how much shipping would be. I found a front lip I wanted. so I'm saving to get everything in a package. the m3 side molding, m3 front bumper, and the front lip. I can worry about the mirror and rear bumper later.

sooo uhh dinan want to sell that old lip?..

[DinanM3atl]

It was sold some time ago ;)

Sorry.

[xXnimbusXx]

haha I tried.

Personally if I had a non-M E36, I wouldn't do the M3 mirrors. Waste of money, IMO. Non-M E36's can still look great without the M mirrors. The front bumper and side moldings are almost a must though.

Which lip are you looking to get?

[DinanM3atl]

I actually have no problem with the OEM 3 series mirrors on the e36.

[xXnimbusXx]

https://st15.flashecom.com/modbargain/images/Products/Bavarian_X/front_splitter_e36_m3_cf_black_7.jpg

well I'm thinking of getting the ACS Style Front Splitters. Simple, clean, and aggressive at the same time. I just ordered the m3 front bumper today and will only pay $215 with shipping for a exact replica from ddmtuning. Awesome deal if you ask me. :bump: :camera: :idb: :taun:

[DinanM3atl]

Cool. I know one of their main men over there :)

[xXnimbusXx]

The mirror isn't really important. I kind of like the regular 3 series mirror cause it flows well with the box style e36.

[xXnimbusXx]

from who?... ddmtuning?.... if so hook me up with a discount. hahaha I wouldn't mind buying another m3 bumper and the angel eyes.

dude I seen your post on fixing your m3 front bumper. AWESOME work!!!!! if I hadn't decided to buy that lip, I would've love to do the same.

[DinanM3atl]

Yah.

Let me email and see what my cost is on a bumper shipped to me.

[xXnimbusXx]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[xXnimbusXx]

rep for you!!

[speedminded]

Yah.

Let me email and see what my cost is on a bumper shipped to me.Briefly looked on their site, do you know anyone that offers an e30 m3 bumper and evo lip? They're $400+ for fiberglass on eBay!! :(

[DinanM3atl]

I actually don't. I could email Leif and Jim over at DDMtuning and maybe they can get someone to make a good copy...

[xXnimbusXx]

anyword?..

[xXnimbusXx]

thanx for the reply dinan. around 200 is still an awesome deal.

[DinanM3atl]

Yah keep that on the DL ;)
