We are installing reinforcements and bracing on our copart auction 1995 BMW E36 M3 S50 5 Speed manual build. ECS Tuning and Turner Motorsport have quite a few products available for the E36 chassis both M and non-M cars and this video goes over some tips and installation of the front strut bar, rear carbon fiber strut brace, X-Brace Chassis reinforcement, and the skid plate engine splash shield. I also go over how to use a Rivet Nut tool (even how to make your own rivnut tool). Links to all of the parts and tools are down below. The installation guides mentioned in the video along with applicable torque specs can be found on the links of each item under the installation tab. Thanks for watching!
