i was't keen on the exhaust but it sounds great, does not sound tiney or crap at all so might keep it

front spoiler is hanging off on drivers side so will be changing anyway

[Alex]

plans for the car are:

to fit leathers
fit clear indicators side and front
all red rear clusters
get a center cap
de-chrome grill
fix fuel gauge (wobbles all over)
might change zaust
service
and just give it a good clean

nice ride alex, i do like the coupe's has she got recaro or comfort interior? i reckon the 316i m40's are still great fun, my dad used to have one and loved it, same colour too!

has comfort cloth interior at the moment that stinks of dog and smoke but im gunna pull the whole interior out including the carpet and swop it over with the interior in my 316 m10 which is comfort leather, cannot afford decent recaros anyway the comfort leather ive got only has a tiny mark on the drivers bolster and is in immaculate conidion.

head lining is yellow tho so if it does not clean up i might dye it black if its possible.

Lovely car. Thats what I want

How much does your insurance cost?

[Alex]

[johnl320]

[Alex]

Thats quite good

no body would insure a 316 m10 tho for under 2k and its slower than a 316i, wiered

[Alex]

updated pics i took this morning after i washed it

[stevotheevo]

very nice mate, im not keen on white but as said above it really suits it.

not sure on doing the rear light red, i reckon a slight smoke would look better.

[gooner1]

Well done Alex, looks nice and clean.

[hammoj28]

That is very nice! had two white ones and kinda like em.lol

[Alex]

thanks for comments

car is fab in the 3 days ive had it now its done 300 miles, so has had a good test drive

[Nemo]

Nice car Alex, very similar to mine. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for it? Mine was £500 but it was totally standard bar some BK Racing 15s.

I couldn't afford the insurance on mine when I was 17, 'they' was asking £3k but done it TPF&T when I was 19 for £1200 so that £1100 is really good.

Mine tops out at 110mph too redlining it in 5th. I'm happy enough with it though I'd kill myself if I had anything bigger and everyone says it goes well

[maxfield]

110mph... Pftt, can get my clock reading 130.

Nice looking car BTW.

Lose the blue drums though!

[JGG1]

Very nice mate! Looks just like a 325 I used to have!

Pack it in Max, at £1100 a pop for insurance the last thing he needs is
a bout of wily waving

[maxfield]

My insurance is £800

Possibly because the M10 is the fabled lump as fitted to F1 cars in the early 80s, tuned and turbo'd to 1500bhp
