I don't think the e36 has good grounds because my electrical always dims or my stereo stuters and all that lame stuff. I just got an electrical voltage regulator and I will install it soon to see if it does anything. But, I want to get me a grounding kit as well.

Well... If there's not any replys then i should assume that:

1. there is no need for a grounding kit

2. only a few (four) know what the hell i'm talking about

Well man my point is that there have been quite a few people that complain about dim lights and all that and i don't see how puting a grounding kit could hurt.

i agree. i took apart a 318is recently and you wouldn;t believe how many grounds these cars have. And this is in the rear of the car alone. It is a waste of money. buy a capacitor or a OPTIMA battery. waste your money on that stuff if your worried about dim lights.

the dim lights aren't coming from grounds. They are most likely coming from either your weak battery and/or an overdrawn alternator. Beef up your alternator and you won't have a problem. Why do you think your lights dim when you have subwoofers in a car when the bass hits. Not the ground that does it, it's the current's draw.
