Dude! You’re brave for doing this project solo. I’ve done similar projects on a Miata and it was no joke. Looking at purchasing my first M Coupe to this has been super helpful. Much thanks for showing us all the ins and outs.
I'm noticing the E36 rear caliper line sticks downwards and the line is routed in front of the shock. The Z3 is different in that the line sticks out horizontally and is routed behind the shock. So I'm not sure what your point of reference is.
The rubber brake hose is suppose to run behind the brake shield not behind the strut.. when the car moves and suspension moves that rubber hose will be stressed and will eventually break.

Wow, my hat's off to you for accomplishing that with the subframe intact.
Pleasantly surprised it was possible!
do you have the torque specs for the trailing arm bushings, the diff bolts, and the subframe bolt? i cant find it online
Brake hose behind the shock? Take off caliper and re route...
i don't see how that's feasible. The line sticks out past the shock. How do I bend it back in front of the shock?

You can see the E36 line pointing downwards here...
