E36 325i

Mod #2:

Bavarian Autosport "Ultimate" Rotors (Cross Drilled & Slotted)

And Pagid Brake pads.

Mod #3:

A manual shift boot for my automatic .. lol. Now I just need a shift knob. I did this because I just like the look of a leather shift boot.

So, all in all... here's how it was when I got it:



And here it is as of last weekend:



Next up... E46 M3 front bumper, and repainting entire car Laguna Seca Blue...

Make sure you take pics of the rotors when they crack...

I would tend to about a million other things before I went painting it LSB.....get new headlights, get the rest of the body kit, not just the E46 M3 bumper, your car will look wicked akward with a big front bumper and no rear or sideskirts to balance it out....I've got some body kit parts for sale if you are interested

Hey with that shift knob, does it require any modification to the shifter? I was interested in that look with a manual shift knob for my automatic but I've been hesitant since I'm not sure its possible.

Love what you did to that car, the M3 wheels really look amazing on an e36.

What ever that comes on the Brabus tuning program... Most of the x-drilled rotors will crack, specially the cheap ones.

Hey. It required no modification. I bought a shift knob from a guy with a 95 M3, I'm sure any E36 shift knob will work.

Just get a hex screwdriver and unscrew the shift knob, then snap off the auto plate, and snap the boot on (its held in place with clips)

I Have The Bav Auto Cross Drilled On My 328 And I Brake Regularly From The 130-140's And Have Had No Warping Or Cracking Problems At All. You Should Be Fine As Far As Braking Goes. Keep Pics Posted As The Project Continues. Good Luck.

They'll both do the job, but the scalpel will do it with precision, accuracy, and predictability.
