Another vote for the 318iS.

Be careful though, I'm going back to one after owning an e39 530d Sport, and they certainly show their age, even mint ones. For a daily driver, I'd recommend an e34 525i Sport, personally.

Off to look at a car in a couple of hours

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the great information above, I forgot how helpful this site is. Hopefully I'll be annoying you all with stupid questions more frequently from now on

Hi folks, Looking for a few pointers. About 2 years ago, I bought my first BMW, an e30 318iS from BobS on this forum. It was a truly fantastic car and I loved using it, but my circumstances changed and I needed to do about 40000 miles a year, so I replaced it with a 530d Sport. Anyway, that's gone, ...

Casualty of a kerb - its still in tact, its just easier to leave it off - makes driving around alot easier (loads of stupid speedbumps)

A pic from tonight:

Gave it a good clean and wax after work today - happy with the results (site seems to squide the images though)! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/commited/318/1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/commited/318/2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/commited/318/2a.jpg http://img.p...

1. There was a plastic insert between the pipe and the tank!
2. You dont live in Ireland, they're useless, but I'll give them a go.
3. Yeah I'm thinking I'll drop it out and give it a full respray. I'm pretty sure it's just the hose!

Hey Folks, My mother complained of a petrol smell after I filled up the other night, so I went to check, and sure enough there was a fair bit of fuel under the car. Looks like whoever fitted the pipe before didnt do it properly, and it in now destroyed. I've found the part I need to replace it: http...

I'd definitely chip the iS. My car idles absolutely perfectly and has power throughout the rev range.

Had no problem sticking with a mint 104k sport the other day from 40-120. We were both surprised.

But most of all - just enjoy the car, I only get to bring mine out at the weekends

Really is a gorgeous car - puts my iS to shame!
Had a quick spin in it too - auto is the way to go if you want one that hasnt been ragged!

Welcome to the Black iS club man!

Chip the car and you'll see a huge increase in improvement. Mine can stick with a 325i Sport to 120 anyway (tested on private test track ;) )

Weekends and evenings!

Looks great man - wish it had been there when I collected the iS!

Very nice man

Health to enjoy!

Good luck with the hunt for an iS Con

I like that - and it was a great price!

Lip spoiler met a kerb across the road from my drive. It isnt broken, just a bit scratched. Gonna leave it off for now, as I'd just catch it everywhere!

Speaker balance. It isnt connected though. Must have been one of those ridiculous options

Well Irish plates are on. Kinda disapointed with them, the 90 isnt at the same level as the rest. Ah well, it'll do for now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/commited/318is/11.jpg (bit dirty) Fitted the new headunit today - it's well fancy, was Ã‚£350 new or something. Wiring was an ABSOLUTE m...

Just gave it a wash there to wash off all the much I collected. 200miles done so far in the car and I love it - I cant stop grinning.

Well done Sanchez - a bit of a bargain for my mate really.

d6 - It'll be better when I'm done with it, hopefully getting her sprayed before the summer and want to up the power a little!

Cheers lads! Gareth - yeah the reg will change to something like 90-D-57234 (90 for the year, D for Dublin, and the third number is the order in which its registered) - might get german plates made up for it like that though - want something different! Very happy all in all and it was a great drive ...

It's gone to a good home, and it's stayed on the zone ;)

Some may have seen my previous thread about buying a 318is. Turned out that it was a cat C write off repaired, so I left that. Took a chance and PM'd Bob_S and asked him if he was selling his. Appeared he was willing to sell! It's a 1990 BMW 318is (this ones HPI clear ;) ) Left my house in Dublin at...

Not sure if I'm mad about the blacked out grille - might look better with diamondschwartz!

I liked the fact that the front end was a little different from the rest

only just saw this thread.

This photo is the nuts:

Top car man!

Is it for sale?

If anyone finds/sees a decent black 318is for sale please let me know!

Cheers lads - Hope another one comes along soon!

Well thats the end of that then... Was meant to be picking it up this weekend, so decided to do a HPI check juussttt in case. Came back as Cat C Written off in 2005. My deposits waiting for my collection, but I'm just gutted because I really liked the car, but something just didnt ring true from the...

I live in Ireland, and everything is expensive here. Have Eagle F1s on the back, so would like some on the front too.
Parents are off to Leeds with the car in February so seemed like a good idea...

Anyone know where to get Eagle F1s near leeds?

Need 205/55/15

Cheers!

Cheers lads

The car has Champiro GT tyres on the front and what look like Goodyear Eagle F1s on the back...

I know the Eagles are highly recommended and they still have half decent tread on them so thats ok. What are the Champiro's like and what should I swap them with when they wear out (heading that way)?

e30mclow - cheers man, it's a whole new thing for me and I cant wait to get it looking as tidy as possible. Are there any decent Irish BMW/e30 clubs?
