always been wondering this!!! I have a 318is Montreal blue and I dont know if I want wide body or just keep it classy and stock!!! ugh what made u pull the trigger, I know your dad and you were building something great, sending you love for him! much love from vancouver canada :D
Thanks man that means more than you know bro🤜🏼🤛🏼. I guess i wanted to create something more than just e36. Its kind of like a poor mans RWB Porsche 😅 it also helps that its not my daily driver I think 🤔
@@BimmerDude AHHH THAT MAKES SENSE!! ya see I think if I made mine a daily I'd be followed by cops but honestly I hope I get to meet you one day to see this in person, thanks for inspiring the world I know your dad is proud
Drove my E36 from Alaska to Minnesota wrecked it, chassis swapped it. Started front widebody and tons of mods. Then pulled a trailer down to South Carolina and am finishing the back half with the same rear fenders from the kit he uses. Making a great car handle better and looking better, that's I how the trigger gets pulled
Been here since the mini r56 had the exact car, pepper white tho. And did the pvc delete, catch can and I soon sold it after 1-1/2yr of owning it. Then I bought a E36 and you have one so pumped too see what else you do keep it up brother
I just ordered a set of overfenders for my E30 with the intent of making your not so typical stance stuff you see these days. As soon as I placed my order I couldn’t help but think about the cutting I would have to do on my beautiful car and wondered if I would regret It down the road. Felt like this was a one on one conversation. Good job and good luck man thanks a ton!
I thought long and hard as i started my e46. I agree! I don't regret it cause ppl have been looking at my setup some comments were stating they can't wait for the finished product.
Hanging chassis’s are kind of the first step I now take whilst doing any successful wide body kit install , learnt this the hard way with my e36 unfortunately 😂 I also wish I had done the proper research or had been told this, having said that after watching your vids you’ve done a pretty decent job , I had trouble getting the wheels to cuff and ended up chopping some ssl king springs in half and using them as my coil overs 😂, I’ve since done a few wide body installs and learnt a trick or two to make look super clean from an exterior point of view anyway... well done man !
just found your channel and subbed, your build is inspiring me to start working on my e36 again, it needs a floor pan on the passenger side and a battery tray
E36 coupe looks good stock but the convertible looks nasty with the wide body kit and the hardtop pshhhh! Only reason im looking in getting one is cause of you brother! But i feel it though im building a 2001 silverado planned on dropping it on some 24s more of a show truck until i seen one lifted but i already got everything i needed to drop it so i guess its getting dropped
Video fits nicely right at the time. Completing the last steps of my Felony Form E36 build and sometimes I question myself if that was the right decision. Unfortunately I live in Germany and we have some really strict technical inspection which makes it a lot harder even. I shared my plans with the inspection guy but every time I take a look at my car I think "Holy shit, inspection is gonna be a nightmare" :D Not sure if or at least how this thing will become legal. Those widebody or overfender cars live from stance and fitment and exactly this is a big difficulty here... Not too low, no smaller diameter tyres than OEM, not much camber, not much tyre stretch, no negative offset... And mine is supposed to be a daily, some kind of showcar (not really on that level but yeah) and also some kind of daily drifter :D Gonne be much fun to bring this to life finally... Well, at least the base car was cheap and the body was in perfect condition for the build. Wheel arches weren't to good, fenders rusty etc. But I can image already how people at meets will ask dumb questions, why haven't you done it like this or that, why no proper rocket bunny, why aren't you running 12" wheels and huge camber, I would have done it like this, this build shouldn't be too difficult... Ugh.
i mean think about it though . With that setup u could still go with a felony form style kit. So imo u could still go back. Felony form is the closest to stock u can get . Im stock body and id LOVE to go wider so i can actually get a nice set of meat on the car without raising my car so its not a raking
Well not really. Felony Form is mounted above the door trims. For the Rocket Bunny kit he needed to cut the arches below the trims as you can see in the pics of his build that were shown in the video... Just one example.
Hello... I recently purchased an e36 and stumbled on this page. First off congrats on some really good videos. I am an n54 owner and for the last 6 years finally achieved my goal of hitting 11.6 in 1/4 mile and now I am on e36 convertible platform. I have to thank you for reminding that I didn't ask myself before what is is that I want. Fast, street or show. So thank you. May I have your email to ask a couple questions of the air.
I am kind of tempted to do an overfender not as wide as rocketbunny, but i realllllyyyy fuckin want those rear bumper extentions been trying to find them for months and cant anywhere
I guess it’s one of those things ,,, you have to feel for yourself to understand ,,, and the time or duration of it,,,,, there’s really no going back ,,, unless you’ve got welding skills
Hello dear you vebdeb the fenders kit for e36? or if you know someone who sells it? I am from Lima-Peru, I have a 4-door e36 but I plan to adapt the 2-door one, it is difficult to get 4-door fenders. regards
Well...Thanks for the vid! and i think that i want to wide some of my cars, not all! Definitely im not going to wide my daily and my weekend new cars, only show cars i would do. it seems its risky my car's body since is aluminum material and now when you wdie the body. These widebody are mostly FRP. as you know the durable of frp are worse than the metal or aluminum so it would do it only on rare occasion, dont get me wrong. widebodies are cool. but i wouldnt do it, im more of a car collector guy, likes to keep it mint conditioned.
Again another super video and info brother!! 💪 Question I have for you is, have you looked into CSL parts for the e46 M? I know a few tasteful parts (csl suspension/csl exhaust/steering wheel/carbon trunk aka ducktail) can make a beautiful difference... The induction/“air box” though I know is super expensive and impossible to find here in the states.
Thanks man!! Yes sir I have. Im currently on the hung for a CSL trunk but right now with all this virus stuff shipping is very delayed on items like this. especially if its coming from over seas
@@BimmerDude smart idea dude. Keep up the awesome content. There aren't many clean builds on TH-cam on BMWs. Definitely keeping my post notifications on🔥
Hey man, please could you help me, I want to do this to my e36, but the roads where I stay can’t afford a suspension drop, if I was wanting to add a wide body kit on for visual purposes only, would I need to drop the suspension? And I would like to make that car my daily car? Any suggestions for me, please let me know ASAP, thank you
So. Serious question. I see the e46s' and the e36. Have you had or driven an e9x? I'm considering trying to find an e46 or e36. All I have currently is an e90 and an e92. Whats your thoughts??????
Kit choices are so darn limited and plastic require hacking up the wheel wells. If you could build a wide body out of proper metal and avoid the inevitable paint cracking where you blend the kit it would be a lot more appealing. Always thought that learning how to beat my own panels might be the answer (97 M3 50K m in perfect shape). Maybe with a salvage car. Rivet on plastic with seams always looks ricer to me.
Dude! You had me worried for a moment. What is "your" car for? "Your enjoyment". As always thanks for the content. Now go introduce your floorboard to the backside of the gas pedal again......
In my opinion you kinda wrecked a nice e36. Its a future classic, but hey its yours and if it makes you feel better about the car, i just prefer not ruining the rear wheel arches, and if not done correctly make it more prone to rust
thanks man! I normally only wear my mask when i know my hands aren't sanitized. When I didnt have time to wipe down my door handles inside and out as well as my steering wheel. Sometime the mask is to protect yourself from putting your own hands inside your nose or mouth. In this same situation is actually more sanitary to just leave the mask on instead of touching the outside surface of the mask with your potentially dirty hands. Its very easy to get absent minded while out and about and its just human nature to rub your nose etc. Very easy way of reminding yourself when you cant touch you skin. Just some advise from an X navy Corpsman
Meh, wide body vs over fender, they both widen the car, Fitment lab, way better than FF! Both again widen the car! Still enough to shove 18x13 with a 0 offset in the rear of my e36! (with mods) lol! Rocket bunny E36's look cheap AF! just a slapped on look! Still dope though!
@@BimmerDude Felony for isn't really wide in the first place! The Fitment lab kit i run i can squeeze a 18x13 et0 with a 25mm spacer so -25 and it keeps all the body lines of the car, but it's all preference and styling!
Great content but please don’t ever add that typical TJ hunt music from 3 years ago it’s the absolute worst song ever. Just trying to help a fellow TH-camr. Your e36 is rad
At that time I didnt have any hand sanitizer with me and I knew I hadnt cleaned my steering wheel after returning from the the gas station (with no gloves) the mask was merely to to prevent my hands from touching my mouth/nose. Just remember ...Sometimes when you see people wearing mask and it doesnt make sense to you.. they might just be trying to dummy proof a dumb situation. Cheers
@@BimmerDude ohh damn didnt think of that at all thanks for replying my guy also you inspired me to get a e36 and widebody it for my first car (i wont widebody instantly) but i will after a few months
Use your imagination.. there are a dozen reasons why you may see someone driving with a mask on in their car. So before you judge here are a few. A mask is much cheaper than a cabin filter. If you touch your steering wheel with your bare hands and your steering wheel is not clean you have to remove your mask at some point with those hands don't you... wouldn't it be better to have a mask on to prevent yourself from touching your mouth or your nose? Maybe the people you see driving around with masks on with rather make things dummy proof by eliminating "Human Tendencies" like itching your beard or your face or wiping your nose or your mouth while driving. Just some food for thought... no one's saying "YOU" should be doing this but maybe just maybe everyone has their own way of protecting themselves from themselfs and those they live with
