Mike from Chch (Now UK?) Built one. I believe it to be the same one as this fella is basing his intercooler position. His build thread is around on here somewhere. CBF looking.

Edit: Boooom

Anyone know the legalities of cutting out the spare wheel well and making in a flat floor boot??

I really dislike the big gapping wheel well..

Whats happening guys. Got the 318 Fully almost stripped out now. Looking at getting it caged. Should be good. Summers on the way so looking forward to getting more work done. Motor build should be almost under way. Just gotta pay off a few more things and it will be starting. New photos to come

How would the m20b25 fit into the 318i front end? would i need to swap over all the subframes etc? and would I need to make allowance for the motor to sit between the fire wall? also would it bolt up to the 5 speed in my car already with maybe a bellhousing to suit?

It fits, but you need a matching gearbox (they don't have swappable bellhousings) as your box only fits an M10 or an M30 (or an S14 or S38, to be pedantic).

You'd need all the bits from the 325i - engine mount, computer and loom, radiator, hoses, flywheel, clutch, propshaft, etc. Basically everything between the radiator and the diff.

I have no idea how easy the wiring swap would be, but I'd guess not that easy.

You'd also need new front springs for the heavier engine, ETC ETC. Basically, buy a 325i.

Your number plate appears to be falling off.

Yeah it had a bit of a problem with a screwdriver and it holding itself on there. Might need to sort that one out.

Update- De Badged the bonnet and looks heaps better. Do have photos just not at home right now and dont have my camera. Will put some up soon.

They look the win aye.

For some reason I've always wanted a dirty 30 coupe, no interior and in white with painted bottle caps as a gravel hack.
