I had to go check to be sure, but it is there. My next questions then would be: - What brand of rear shock mounts did you use the last time? - How many miles had they been in use? - What combination of shocks/springs do you you have?

I don't > recall a particular brand beyond that... Well, there can be a big difference between OEM and aftermarket parts. If they were Meyle for instance, anything goes. I had Meyle tie rods fail within 8k miles for instance when the stock parts lasted over 100k miles. > They have about 15-20k miles on them. Well, I have seen OEM RSMs last a fair bit longer than that. But, it wouldn't surprise me at all that aftermarket RSMs die that quickly.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal opinion here, I would hold out for a car with VANOS. The '92 E36/M50 did not have VANOS. Any E36 that you buy for track use will need the rear floor reinforced to prevent the subframe from ripping out. Otherwise, lots of listers are running E36s in club racing and on the track with good results. There are lots of them out there that are in better condition than the one you listed.
