Re:

k, ive got the wiring loom, ecu and fuel rail from a 318i with an m43, only thing i need to know is if the 318i ECU will work on the 316i, will it reset to run on the 316 or anything? OR at least, can i swap the chip from a 316i ECU into the one from a 318i ?

Thanks in advance,

Lowered on Borbet A's - possible?

Hey all, im thinking about using the H&R 60/40 lowering kit from the zone shop, but in the future i wanted to put on 9Jx16" Borbet A's all round. Will this fit without arch modification? I think i would have to do a slight tyre stretch with some 215x40s ?? but what is the law on "stretched tyres"?
