Who cares what size tire wheel combo??? The e36 can fit a 8.5 as well and power to weight the e46 has no real advantage. The e36 is a more simple car as well ( for enduro's sake ). The 1993-95 coupe or sedan should work fine, it is really your choice. The Bimmerworld guys liked sedans b/c they are slightly stiffer but who knows. I have one of each and maybe a extra donor sedan as well if you go that route Kirk.
