'86 Chromie 316, M20B25 Tech 1 update 16/1/13 OBC IN!

[Joe-318i]

Loverly car there indeed. I always find it odd looking at the single pipe exhuasts on the 316 and 318i's but other than that it looks as close to perfect as you could want. I started off with a D reg m10 318i back in 2002 and I still rate it as one of the best and most fun cars I had ever owned!

cheers felix
as for the exhaust, iv got my eyes on a few set ups and will get round to swapping it over at some point, as for the M10, same i think its a good litte engine

[Ollie_bwoii]

I don't mind what state your other one is in...

As for the M10, it is a good little engine really. How does the carb compare to the injection Joe?

well its been a while, sence i last drove the injection, but dont think there's really that much init, lower down revs and i think the injection wins, and mpg is a bit better plus easyer to start on a cold day

but i do like the carb. It make's a better sound also the throttle response is a lot quick, and once it gets to about 3000rpm then sencond choke opens up and it does sound good, move's well too

Lovely looking car mate, always nice to see a chromie get some love!

[Joe-318i]

well today at work, i was up in the boss's loft, when we came across this lot, he didnt even remember putting it up there and had forgot all about it, he said he didnt have any use for it, and if i wanted it, i could have it all

only thing is i can not make my mind on changing the head unit over, for the one that iv already got, but the one i got given today, woud look a lot better in place, and sound just as good

heres whats in now



and this is what he gave me today





iv already got the rear speakers in, and its looking and sounding good

old



new





but like i say, cant make my mind up, what do you lot think, should i change the head unit aswell
and thanks for any comments in advance

[Alex]

Looking good Joe

I would get a nice outward rolled chrome Tailpipe from the dealers for it though

as its got the rear tech 1 bumper, it will be twin pipes to fill the gap

[spook]

Dont go putting any of those nasty looking tech 1 sideskirts on.

[crazy1]

That was a nice little package you got, I would change the head unit and speakers but keep the old grills.

[Joe-318i]

[E30BeemerLad]

I think your own shots have been better previously.

Lovely looking car though, shame Bazza never got to give it some 24v action

[Ollie_bwoii]

I don't think the DTM pipe suits it tbh.
