I've been a member for a few years now but never posted.
I thought my first should be some pics of my 318is, tell me what you think.
I hope the pics work, this is my 1st time!

An iS in red is always a winner.
Needs a bit of lower though, is it on stock suspension??

The suspension is totally standard and is still surprisingly tight for a 20+ year old car.
I was thinking about a Eichbach Pro kit (-30mm) and refreshing the bushes as a matter of course during the winter months.
What other options have I available without going too low?

EBay coil overs are quite reasonable at the moment?

lol yes they are a high spec motorsport mod
mines dropped about 70-80 mill all round but its not to everyones taste,thats on billies and custom pig tails at the back
personnally i wouldnt drop that any more than -30, a good set of springs would be a way to do that if your shocks are still decent

Cheers for the comments Guys.
Batts91, the door is the one thing that really annoys me no matter how much i polish you can still see it in some lights.
I wonder if all brilliant reds are the same?

Red is awful for fading. I have the same and doors and mirrors are pretty much pink. Sucks!

i had eibach on my 318is, wasnt too low, and the drive was superb, i drove a standard is, and the eibach was much nicer drive
also an rpm strut brace made a nice difference and feel
car looks nice, personly i think with your red/black color scheme (which looks good) an mtech 1 rear spoiler black rubber/red insert would look much nicer and compliment the overall styling and scheme of the car
