Olaf 3317 Report post Posted September 30, 2014 There is definitely a cool factor about discreet fast wagons. preaching to the choir on this thread, mate. still, as funny (eg attracting derision) as Volvo's may seem, I still rate the 850-T5 as one of the ultimate sleepers in terms of discreet fast wagons. Yes I'm biased, I own one. this M3 touring and subject of this thread is of course on a whole 'nother level Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like the e28 M5 spawned super saloon so did the 850 t5 for fast estate cars nowadays . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted October 9, 2014 Stage 2 complete. Spare wheel well delete finished with M3 floorpan patched in.Am running a 330 rear muffler until stage 3 which will involve the modification of a M3 rear bumper along with fender fabrication and M3 bonnet and front bumper. Freakin` awesome to drive this 340hp powered `318i` sleeper. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted November 29, 2014 Installed Agency Power exhaust, renamed to `HELLBM` and swapped out MSS54 DME for a MSS54HP DME. Latest DME includes top speed limiter removed,sport mode on at startup,oil temp warmup lights,shift lights,rev. limiter increase,aux. air pump delete, faster throttle response.Add to that the subtle `burble and pops at high rev. changes. Huge thanks to Tom for his very clever handiwork with these DME`s. Brilliant driving experience. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
