shadowninja 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Looking very fine there Ali, great to get another E46'er on board. Post more pics when you can. :thumb: Gus I believe the '99 318 should be a 1.8L L4. 2002 model upgraded to a 1.9L and 2003 went to a 2.0L. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30_318i 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Nice. Best time to change to a 4 considering gas prices too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ali 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Unfortunately shes not black its actually Orient Blue, but still looks very nice. The main reason i got it was the thinking that it would go well with red fluffy dice I can confirm that its a baby 3 with the 1800cc honestly im used to seeing a full as engine bay but thats not the case now. From what i can gather the e36 320 is a second faster 0-60 than the e46 318, also its a manual so in theory it should be a little quicker not that you would notice. The big difference is the lack of roar that was the 6 pot and its just f ing flash inside compared to the e36. Pending on what happens with sale of the e36 i will either be swaping the rims over or shopping for new ones...i hate shopping for new rims!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ali 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 When did a 535 become a ti lol I have had quick look at supercharger plug & play but i dont really have the cash at the moment, really i think that sort of money would be a waste on the 318 anyway..like wise 19"mmmm HM3s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
