BMW E36: one chassis, many configurations
The E36 range includes four- and six-cylinder engines, several body styles and a wide variety of factory exhaust layouts. Selected Z3 products also use this chassis key, so the model and engine details shown above should always take priority over the profile heading.
Manifold clearance, steering position, catalyst arrangement and the connection to the centre section can all vary. Rear systems also differ by body style and bumper layout, so check every product-specific fitment note before installation.
