R36 Technical Information and DIY.

The answer to my own question is no it doesn't have a replaceable filter. (At least not on the 2009 model)

Hi,
Can anyone specify the differences between the MY08, MY09, MY10 & MY10.5 models?

[Elmura]

I have different wheel weight of the standard 18" Omanyt wheel vs what user "gead" stated on the first page. I weighed mine with 50% worn tyre (Michelin Pilot Sport 3) and total weight was 23.4 kg. New MPS3 tyre is ~10kg based on tirerack.com specifications, so I'll allow 1.5kg weight loss for tread wear. This brings wheel weight to ~33 lbs (15kg).

As for the MY changes, I'm curious too. I know the MY10 I have has an LCD MFD dash display and blue needle instruments vs the red of the earlier series.

MY09 got White MFD with new cluster already
MY10 got the newer climate control
MY10.5 got MDI as standard

I was wondering the same thing!

Hello, just to recap on the 19" (& 20") wheel questions for the R36 wagon, could anyone pls help out with the following info:

1) What is the actual centre bore on the R36? (found conflicting info)
2) What size tyres are you rolling on and how do they ride (strapes, bumps, noisy etc) on 19's or 20's?
3) Is there any wrong way of calculating the right fitment and tyres? I've had a look on willtheyfit.com and just trying to understand for real life how it reflects & what tyre width and profile etc (assuming standard R36 suspension thus far)...

Your assistance is much appreciated

Centre bore is 57.1mm

Apologies, but I've been unable to find this information, nor do I currently have the time / tools to pull off my wheels.

Can someone please let me know if the R36 uses Wheel Lug Bolts of Wheel Lug Nuts? What should I be ordering when fitting after-market wheels (and subsequently are they both measured as M14x1.5 27mm?)

Thank you

They're bolts. Wheels only need to match the PCD of the wheel hub, have similar offset, and be at least as large a diameter & width of original so to maintain handling balance, braking balance, and AWD balance. You may need to read up some into this if you aren't staying with original spec.
