Before heading to the track, b at the shop we did a before and after camber change and saw the toe change needed so we knew exactly what we needed to do quickly to get it back to where we targeted. Then we double checked with plates/tape measure.

While other chassis that are more popular to change to a smaller battery have a fairly drastic weight drop of 18, 20, 22+lbs, this specific M2 application isn't nearly as impressive. Clarios, the parent company of OPTIMA Batteries, actually provides the OE battery for the M2, so thankfully they are all equipped with an excellent battery from the factory, but we still chose to upgrade to the H7 YELLOWTOP for more juice per pound! We expect to have another battery option for this car (and others) very soon and will be releasing that information and update the weight differences which will be drastic.

You're exactly right!

That note is pretty prominently displayed on the listing for the brass caliper bushings.

@@TaylorGoesFast yup, understood - just saying it was the first time i've run across that note and it wasn't in previous instructions with the kit. just found it interesting. thought i would comment if it wasn't noted someplace or with the kit now that would be appreciated. sounds like it is noted so great!

While the parts were all sourced from BimmerWorld (of course) this car was built/assembled/etc by Phil and Carrie at their own home garage - not at the BimmerWorld shop. That was actually part of the entire reason for the build series, to show that a normal person, with normal tools, and yes with a garage but not a full team of people at their disposal can still certainly refresh an E36 and prep for a track day and eventually...racing. This was by no means a "no budget" build. It was just going through the car and taking care of all the known failure points and catching up on maintenance before having an issue at the track. You can certainly do little by little and fix and upgrade as time/money allows, but this was still a very VERY affordable way of making a fairly bulletproof car for Carrie to get comfortable with and not struggling through a weekend fixing the car instead of driving it. If you have any specific questions regarding a build of your own we'd be more than happy to talk you through any of the areas where you can best prioritize your money and labor to do the same.

Yep, the system setup to be charged by solar panels on the roof. They will also charge if the bus is hooked up to power either from a generator or shore power.
