how much are twin carbs for the little 316???

This is a very interesting topic, ive bought a little 316, but often wondered about once i get too attached whether i'll end up forking out for more power.


if twin cars are at a decent price, i would sell your spare block and invest in a set of them!

Guys who own e36's Ive got a set of original 18 split rims from Z4, the star ones. Do you guys now if they will fit the e36? may rub a little, but z4 wheels will fit an e46, and e46 wheels will fit an e36.... but saying that, the offset may be just out a little each time along the chain, causing th...

"Enthusiast" owners moving on to E46s? :nono: You know what I meant!! OK, not exactly enthusiast, but i cant think of another word that describes someone that prefers OEM - i.e. sharp contrast to chav! They should be doing their best to make their E36s stand out from the "chav" crowd :wink: Hey?? S...

Rear bumper removal

I'll be swapping like for like as my current one is cracked badly and i managed to source another off ebay for the grand total of.... £4 :D I know on the e36...

While you're here Beck what are these worth? I'm guessing you'd know :wink: LOL, its a bit hit and miss,,, this time last year I was seeing them go on ebay for £80/90 - excellent I thought, that will help fund a nice Sparco or Momo wheel, a mod that basically pays for itself. But recently I've se...

Upgrading 316 to 325 brakes

Im going to upgrade the calipers on my little 316 to those of a 325. I understand this will allow me to fit vented discs 8) So, the car is a little track toy,,, so it cant swallow too much money, but im interested to see what people recommend discs and pad wise. On my e36 im currently running brembo...

Clutch Problem

Taken from my little 316.... Looking at this pic it seems ive pulled the pin from the cylinder (forgive my technical terminology)... its a track day car/project and Im not sure but im guessing the pedal must have got caught when i was pulling the carpet out. Its the only way I can see something like...
