318isCoupe 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) is that custom door trim ? The black strip with the m badging? as far as I know that would have gone on factory with the rest of the M-Sport options. I like the height of the factory suspension in the back, but I think the front needs to come down about an inch or so to even things up.

318isCoupe 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 Yeh will definately have to roll up to Auckland for the next cruise. Might try and track down whoever it is that's got the silver 325 with bimmersport stickers in Tauranga too. I was the first set they sold in the Bay of Plenty apparently, but yeh, they're a good looking wheel, and not that hard to keep clean, just along that second "lip" between the spokes where dust likes to hide. didn't really clean the car much for these photo's, the insides of the guards are dirty and the wheels aren't all that clean.. but it was a rush job so the next set of photo's will be much better.

318isCoupe 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 Yeh dust is a prick on black cars. I manage to keep the red reasonably clean, it's not at it's best in these photo's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

318isCoupe 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 Cheers. Bimmersport stickers should hopefully be here sometime this week so a few of my friends and I are going for a drive in our cars on saturday depending on weather.. probably towards Coromandel.. or maybe the other direction towards Whakatane.. to take some photo's and go for a bit of a cruise. I've got a Panasonic DMC-FZ5 Lumix with the Leica lense etc, which is alright for a non-SLR, 12x optical zoom and so on. But my friend Kyle has a digital SLR so we'll take some decent photo's with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers! and it's auto.. and N/A.. for now =] Downing/Atlanta supercharger kit on the cards, $3399USD and a 6 hour bolt-on job (they say 4 hours but something unexpected WILL happen) for a 7psi supercharger kit and a rising rate fuel pressure regulator of some description. should be good for ~200hp (they claim 225hp on a standard motor without any other modifications, so hopefully I'll get somewhere around that after exhaust, intake and the supercharger kit) Manual conversion first though.. And no, I don't want to sell it to buy a 328i Coupe instead of modifying this one (unless it's manual, looks and handles as well as this one and has the individuality factor of a supercharged 318iS) nice ride man! they sitting on factory suspension atm? love the rims! Yep, M-Sport suspension which was factory optioned, I think they're about a 35mm drop over the standard E36 height though.. probably drop the front another 25-30mm at some point. And cheers, general opinion is those wheels look pretty good so I'm stoked on that! Edited December 12, 2006 by 318isCoupe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An m3 bottom bumper lip would really cap off the front end imo Yeh, I don't know whether they'd attach to the factory bumper though.. A tasteful lip coupled with dropping the front an inch or so would do wonders to relieve the 4wd stance it's flaunting in the 4th photo down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
