Re: 318is M3 Project or 24v conversion?

Would be nice to see a supercharged M42 build.

I will soon have a low mileage M42 engine, box and 4.1 LSD available if you decide to go that route

Re:

Hey up Murphy , naa the cossie conversion has taken a back seat for now. Still got all the bits ready but other priorities have pushed it to the back of the queue (fiancé , child , house , mortgage , wedding plans.... etc.. etc.. ). The car projects definitely made faster progress when I was young...

Re: Any Interest for a full 318iS conversion?

M42 is sought after by those using an E30 as their daily, and/or those that can't run a bigger engine for insurance cost reasons, so it should get some interest. I did hope it might be something I could sell as a package as it just makes it easier to have one sale. Bit of interest by pm all ready :)
