This is supposed to be a thread about mods for the iS, not the iS versus 325 thread it's turned into.

Make sure it's running spot on, stick a proper chip in it.

After that don't waste your time on the engine and concentrate on the handling, grip and balance of the car.

oi, nothing wrong with modding an IS engine thank you very much

[hammoj28]

So far iv removed the heater plate and chipped mine. Feels much better now i.e it pulls smooher. But the best thing iv done is the suspension kit.

Still wanna do more to the engine but all in good time.

Id say an iS with, shrick cams, lighter flywheel and a rolling road remap would be good fun. Throttle bodies are even better.

Are there any superchargerd 318is? I like the idea of that instant power boost and nice whine

That made me laugh.

It's inevitable that anytime you mention 318iS or M42 then M20 and 325i will soon follow, further followed by an all out sh1t-storm about who is best.

By the way mods, it's not cool to keep changing my posts. I'm sure you're all chuckling away at your keyboards, drunk on the power you yield over a handful of petrolheads.

Kindly stop as it's a blatant abuse of what you're supposed to be doing.

These 318iS threads always seem to end up in a right old Royal rumble

I cannot remember which member it was who has one, either appletree or Demlotcrew. One of the other. Think it's a red motor. Do a search.

It's Appletree - lovely car!

Noticed some m3 throttle bodies for sale,has anybody tried putting some of them on the is head,with them being similar..........?

I have just sold my 325i so I can return to the IS crew! The six pots are sh1te. Anyway back on topic,the heater plate removal is a great mod,only takes 10 mins and makes a noticable difference!

I have had a look at removing the heater plate, i can't think that this will only take 10 mins, i can't even see the bottom securing nuts for the throttle body

Its dead easy,you can see everything you need when the rubber air pipe is out of the way. Undo the bolts and move it all of the manifold and you can see which pipes etc need joining.

What m3 schuey?

[schuey]

E30,I cant remeber where I saw them,might have been piston heads or egay,bout £500 but cheaper than new ones I suppose,would be nice as you dont see it done....

[Dan318-is]

They wont fit dude! Port sizes are different and all sorts, plenum doesnt clear servo iirc and all sorts off issues. Look out for s50 ones they fit with modifications of sorts.

any one got a bbtb i order ine tomoz and just wondered what they are like diffrence etc
