Watch out for tyre wear on the rear though, my brother had M3 shocks with 40mil lowered springs and the rears scrubbed out very quickly due to camber.

Very nice John.



E36 looks amazing in white, and yours has all the aplina goodies to make it even better.

If you change your plate to hide fact its a M-Reg, you might also want to change the kidney grills for the facelift ones.

Big give away for the year.

Here is my parents old one, I nearly bought it back when I found it for sale but wasn't in best of condition inside.

Can see the grill best in this pic......

Looks tidy mate, and at the price pretty much a straight swap with the Corsa. Where is the car from, Southport is just down the road from me. Can't say i've seen it about though.

one thing iv noticed from this post which has just proved to me iv done the right thing buyin it

all the negative or neutral posts have been from the younger members and the positive feedback has been mostly from the older members, maybe its because they have reached the same point that i have at some time or can understand my reasons for gettin it,

To be fair you can't drive a Corsa with rock hard suspension all your life, it gets pretty tiresome.
