Forgeline LS3 Forged Three-Piece Wheels
Forgeline's new Heritage Series line of forged wheels are designed to represent the best of Forgeline's over two decades of engineering and manufacturing custom, made-to-order forged aluminum wheels. These classic designs are retro-cool and work well with virtually every class of automobile, from muscle cars to supercars to luxury vehicles.
The Forgeline LS3 Heritage Series wheel on our Turner Project Supercharged E36 M3 evoke classic and timeless styling, perfectly suited for the E36 M3's modern-classic status. The Forgeline LS3 Heritage Series wheel pays homage to Forgeline's very first wheel designs, the classic LS of the 1990s, but has been reborn here as a modern 3-piece wheel with updated engineering and manufacturing technology. A tight mesh design with very intricate machining details, the LS3 is elegant and timeless.
The LS3 is built with true forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers, aircraft-quality ARP stainless steel fasteners (your choice of exposed or hidden), and heat-treated rim sections. The LS3 is available with a stepped lip outer in 17-inch, 18-inch, and 19-inch fitments and features a standard powder coated center finish with a polished outer rim. But since each wheel is custom built-to-order, Forgeline can also offer special features like custom offsets, center locking hubs, and a large choice of finish combinations.
Our M3's wheels measure 18x8.0" in the front and 18x9.0" in the rear. They are finished in Satin Gold with a highly polished lip. Each wheels, both front and rear weigh-in at 24lbs. Forgeline's LS3 wheels are truly stunning, especially when combined with equally timeless and classic Hellrot paint on our E36 M3.
For tires we chose to go with the Continental Tire ContiSportContact 5P which is Continental's latest super high performance street tire. The tire has been chosen as a OE tire by several German auto manufacturers including BMW on the new M3 and M4. The 5P is available in widths from 225 all the way up to 325 and fits diameters from 18 to 23". We chose to go with the 235/40/18 and 255/35/18 for the Project E36.

Bilstein PSS9 Coilover Kit for E36 M3 Bilstein's celebrated PSS9 coil over kit for the E36 M3 combines height adjustment struts with Bilstein's 9-position monotube shock absorbers. The PSS9 coilovers offer a stiffer spring rate than stock and a lower ride height for less bodyroll and better handling. These are among the easiest coil over kits on the market - no special mounts required (works with stock mounts and sway bar links), larger adjustment knob allows for easy shock damping changes, and coil over spanner wrenches included for easy height changes. Bilstein backs up their technology with a limited lifetime warranty. TUV approved for fitment, safety, and quality! Part #:GM5-B567-H2 Click here to order. |
Turner Sway Bars for E36 M3 This is the 3rd Generation of the TMS E36 sway bar / swaybars and features CNC'd ends for greater precisicion handling, re-countoured bends for better clearance, an even larger 30mm front bar and a 24mm rear bar, both with 2 holes for adjustment. This is one of the largest diameter solid front bars available, perfect for taming that understeer. Part #:TMSSWAYE36M3-2 Click here to order. |
Turner Adjustable Sway Bar Links You get the best of both worlds with the TMS adjustable sway bar / swaybar links. You get the same quiet operation and long life as the stock links plus the strength and adjustability of rod-end style sway bar links. With the wide range of suspensions and sway bars available today adjustable sway bar links can help you with many problems. These links are perfect for the E36 M3, especially when using coilovers and larger diameter sway bars. Part #:TMS-ADJ-SBLINKS Click here to order. |
Turner Camber Plates for E36 The custom-made TMS adjustable camber plates for the E36 provide up to 4 degrees of negative camber (caster is not adjustable). These beautifully made aluminum camber plates have solid no-play spherical bearings that are ideal for racing or high performance track events. These camber plates are nearly identical to the BMW Motorsport version with a few TMS improvements (including the price). These units replace the rubber upper strut bearing and are easily adjusted by loosening the 3 factory nuts and sliding the camber plate in and out. Because of the clearances between the spring and the body of the car these are suggested for use with coil-over front struts only, using a 60mm, 2.25" or 2.5" ID race spring. Part #:TSU3680001 Click here to order. |
Turner Rear Adjustable Camber Arms Top seller! The Turner Adjustable Rear Camber Arms for E36 are great for any street or track car. They are perfect if you have a lowered car and have run out of adjustment with the stock camber arms or if you have a track car and are looking for increased camber adjustment, light weight pieces, stronger components, and improved suspension handling Part #:TSU9940X Click here to order. |
Turner Motorsport Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Kit The Turner rear trailing-arm bushing limiter kit creates a stiffer rear suspension without sacrificing ride quality. Stock trailing arm bushings are known for failure, on both the E36 and E46 BMW chassis. Part #:TSU9990001 Click here to order. |
BMW Motorsport X-Brace Recommended for EVERY E36 Owner! The Original BMW chassis reinforcement developed for the special M3 LTW (Lightweight) model. This tubular-steel part connects the front subframe to the body and gives the car a more solid feel with less flex. Every convertible and Roadster model uses a similar design to address inherent chassis flex in the front of the car. Fits all E36 and Z3 chassis BMWs. Part #:E36X Click here to order. |
Turner Front Strut Brace Turner Motorsport developed these in association with our European partners to provide a higher quality and better performing strut brace than our competitors. Made of aircraft grade aluminum these strut braces - also know as a "stressbar" - help to minimize chassis flex during the hardest cornering, which keeps your tires squarely on the road and delivers the traction you need when you need it most. Part #:067007S Click here to order. |
Turner Reinforcement Kit Let's face it, the E36 is an old chassis but it's still the most popular car to build for track-use. But because of it's age, certain parts of the chassis are prone to structural failure. We've been racing the E36 for over ten years so we know what the weak points are and how to make them stronger.

Stoptech Street Performance Brake Pads for E36 M3 StopTech Street Performance front brake pads are designed for high-performance street drivers who want a high-quality and capable pad that won't break the wallet. These pads feature an innovative composite compound that is quiet, great bite and modulation, low fade under hard street-type use (and autocross, light track). We've tried these pads and love how capable they were when used hard but also how easy they were for regular stop-and-go driving. This might be the last brake pad you will ever need! Part #: 309.03940 Click here to order. |
Stoptech Steel Braided Brake Lines for E36 M3 Stoptech ® Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines provide a quicker, firmer, more consistent pedal response by maintaining consistent brake pressure. Additionally, stainless steel lines provide precision brake modulation, especially during threshold braking. The improvement in pedal feel is more dramatic on older vehicles where the factory rubber line may have softened and swelled due to age. Part #: PLB53310XX Click here to order. |
Replacement Slotted Front Rotors Slotting a rotor helps to release gases that build up between the rotor surface and an out-gassing brake pad. Without an escape, this thin layer of gas will cause a delay until the pad cuts through gas layer. The slots in our rotors allow the gases to escape giving better braking performance. For track and racing use, slotting is preferred over cross-drilling because the slots don't take away as much mass from the rotor and won't suffer from structural cracks.

Custom 3.46 LSD Differential for E36 M3 Upgrading or rebuilding the differential is one of the keys to performance on your E36 325i/328i or E36 M3. Adding a shorter gear set will make the car accelerate quicker with almost no downside. And adding or changing the limited slip unit will improve traction and handling. The diff is crucial to getting the most out of popular engine upgrades such as an M50 manifold swap and cams where the new gear ratio will keep you in the power band sooner. 3.46 Ring & Pinion 3 Clutch Variable Ramp LSD Part #: E36-DIFFERENTIAL Click here to order. |

Part #: USCE Click here to order. |
JB Racing Lightweight Flywheel for E36 M3 Save 15 lbs! Aluminum flywheels are much lighter than the stock steel flywheel and that produces better throttle response and more available horsepower to the wheels for faster acceleration. The JB Racing aluminum flywheels are a direct replacement for the stock flywheel and work with stock clutch components for an easy upgrade with very little downside. In addition to releasing more power to the wheels, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, which improves throttle response. Part #: 520-010-240 Click here to order. |
SPEC Stage 2+ Performance Clutch Kit for E36 M3 The SPEC Stage 2 clutch is a premium, no compromises heavy-duty clutch upgrade for the 1996-1999 E36 M3. Where the stock clutch is well-known for premature wear when driven hard and the factory dual mass flywheel is a known failure point, the SPEC clutch delivers with an over-engineered, performance-oriented clutch solution. The single carbon-Kevlar clutch is rated at 370 ft-lbs, more than enough for the naturally-aspirated S52 engines. A heavy-duty pressure plate and throw-out bearing complete the package.

Turner Motorsport Power Pulley Kit Underdrive Power Pulleys work to 'free up' horsepower. Any accessory that spins from the main drive belt is using up power.
