yes 318is is a good little runnabout no it wont bet a 328i or a 325i etc . try go for a 318is with 5spd manual as the 4 speed auto's are a bit sluggish and long winding up between gears etc (see top gear christmas special 2010 going into jerusalem with the z3 which uses the same engine and gearbox set up) they are a GM brand gearbox bit like a holden HQ trimatic uses but with a 4th gear overdrive. the 1.9L m44 are better than the m42 1.8L more usable toque and betterair flow meter system . the 318is usally have sport seats , body kits , better 16" alloys etc etc . also consider a 318ti in motorsport spec same engine etc but about 100kg lighter so a bit quicker and use less fuel. same back seat space as a coupe or sedan. my mate will have one for sale very soon 96 with 160-170k red with 5spd ,16" etc probably around $4k etc

yes most likly this , you dont need it

i used the m52 stuff beacuse thats whats in the car , if i changed it to a m50 vanos stuff i would need to change the engine loom , ecu , afm , cam and crank sensors , disconnect the ews sercity chip key set up etc etc .charger came with the mounting plate bolts up to the alternator mounting bolts check all the photos for details. seimens m52 ecu is a pain to remap(postage stamped chip) , earlier bosch (plug in chip)set up is easier to remap. oil filter and alt is in std place. in papakura

hiyes its 328i m52b28 engine , fitted a m50b25 manifold , using all the m52 sensors and electrics etc. variable fuel pressure reg to help with fueling . would work better with aecu remap but have not done that yet. headers are from a wayney on teh forum here. if you are using a m50b25 it would be easier to remap the bosch ecu that they use than the seimeins type teh 328i use. talk to gavin at hi-velocity , i think std injectors and fuel pump will do unless you go for big boost. this set up is only 4 pounds boost . but most of the kits you buy run 7-8pounds boost , and come with a chip and bigger injectors etc

that type of gasket is for the plastic rocker cover not a ali one

Happy birthday , young guy will bring a prezzy into you soon a getrag 260 box in bits in a box

use a front door handle from a late model e36 about 97 onwards they dont have key hole.then use a handle surround from the right rear door to cover the key hole after you remove the barrol from it. and what say your remote fails how would you get in??

always go for a direct input with cables , no to fm units or tape adators etc which head do you have , pictures??

takes a while on the coupes , have to remove the glass etc to get at the back of the handle mech

had a good time. lots of nice cars , enjoyed the clasisc racing stuff.

getrag 260 box from a m30 not a m20 etc check with bm weapon i think he will have most parts

i use a guy called pete at papakura mufflers 2986853 27 elliot st he does lots of headers on v8's into hotrods ,mussel cars , offroader stuff , turbo down pipes etc etc

the ali parts inside break so you will need a new handle mech. i have some if needed 021433600

no ,it is easy to replace the diff

why are you bidding on your own auction?? oh i think you will find they are vinyl seats made to look like leather (as they dont put holes in to leather seats) called PACIFIC IMITATION LEATHER
