Is it true that Jerry Clayton did this? Wow looks pretty tidy and only 86km

Would take a bit of work to get that looking nice again.

- new wheels

- remove hideous stereo installation

- M-tech 2 wheel

- M-tech houndstooth recaro seats

Then it would look mint.

Dont like the wheels, there a bit modern for an e30 i think, but other than that really nice!

Yep, I believe they did it to help move thier old stock, they still do things like this now, only it is qute rare for them to fully kit a povo spec car, they usually just add some bigger aftermarket wheels insted like this one which I used to take to the airport a lot looks so much better with cooler wheels.

I think the wheels would like better if it was lower.

its only a 318....

Please Silverfox, shield your eyes from the Blasphemic content below!!

318i 's are actually good cars. Nice to drive, handle great, you would be surprised.

Thanks Andy, hope you noticed I politely ignored young Chris's comments above. We'll see him on the track one day I guess?

So, have you rebuilt, and how's your bro's car coming?

Nah, my bro's abandoned the E30 racer idea for now, hes bought a freaking nice kart and is getting into the KT100's and will go from there. Hopefully he can learn from there and move up the ranks till one day he hits the big track :). He really wants an E30 daily though and personally I can't see why he doesnt buy your 316i, that thing is a beautiful car. Hes a hard person to please, I still maintain my favourite E30 I've owned so far was my 316i (1.8), way nicer drive than the others. He wants something to tow his kart and doesnt think a 4cylinder would cut it.

Havent started the rebuild just yet, will first be topping up the indicator fluid and then reconditioning hte twin confrobulators in the mean time (in the middle of exams / assignments).

Ah Ollie Ollie Ollie... do some more homework my boy. The last M40's were actually released in feb 1994, as were the last E30's. :)

Still offered in the E36 till March 94?

On Youtube there is an old Top Gear vid about the 'new' 1991 318i with the M40.

Listen carefully and you can hear the noise from the hydralic lifters!
