Thanks for all the comments it has helped as I didn't know you need 17 inch wheels on and I only want to go up to a 16inch. I think I'm going to go down the RPM route as they can help me with the right spring rating and with all the adjustable top mounts and finish off getting the poly bushes on the...

There so wrong the look so right if you get my drift, makes me want to take the grinder to mine. Anyone else out there a have a...

Why my plate?

All up to personal preference i reckon mate. A fresh coat of red always looks stunning, but personally the colour 'alpine white' is growing on me. Or you could go the complete other way and spray it a colour that BMW didnt do. My brother has just got an e36 M3 in estoril blue and that is just amazi...

I can get all of the o/s loom out and pulled through the bulk head, im stuck on what to do with the fuse box. Do i need to pull all the wiring o...

Would you be able to help me please, im after a new carpet for my 1990 318is as the old one has stains and marks in it i can't get out of it.

After having a look at my car today and the picture that is up i believe that it is the matrix that has gone. i got the car up to temp and had a good look at it and there seems to be a small crack in that rectangular part behind the pipes shown in the picture.
