    328is conversion work?

    I probably could find this with some searching, but can you convert to 5 lug using all the parts from an e36 328is?

    I'm just not sure if you can use parts from any e36 or if some parts such as the trailing arms HAVE to be from a 318ti or Z3.

    thanks!

    Rear trailing arms must be from z3/compact.

    Other that ti e36(and z3) has completely different on rear than e30 and they don't work in 4->5 lug conversion.
    Current:

    BMW 320i 2d 2.0 m20 -88
    BMW 325i Cabriolet 2.5 m50 -88
    BMW 316i touring 1.6 m40 -90
    BMW 320i 4d 2,2 m54 -01

        Yeah basically the fronts will work .

        You can use the struts and brakes but you will need 96+ lower control arms .

        Also you will want to use your E30 springs and upper spring hats .

        And just to be more clear on the rears :
        Only E36 316ti rear trailing arms or any from the Z-cars will work .
        Of course it goes without saying that the E30 M3 rear set-up will also work .


        Do a little more searching befor you dive into this .

        E30 M3 / E30 325is / E34 525iT / E34 535i

          thanks guys! I was just wondering because my brother wrecked his car and we're maybe going to be parting it out.
