Is your touring black or diamond black?
smoked rear lights look like this on them....
But I have put them back to standard now and prefer them I think!
iS lip spoilers seem to go for silly money but a nice discreet mod I reckon
I assume your touring has SE skirts on it as standard?
oh and I reccomend changing the plugs to NGK's you never know what funky plugs are in cars these days

apologies for hijacking the thread but what are the three switches next to dennesshi's handbrake for?
also what does the wee square switch above the left hand window switch do.....cant remember from my old e30 and the one in my touring isnt marked with anything.....had a play but it doesnt seem to do anything

heated seats and relocated sunroof?
small one above left window switch is rear window isolater (for door switchs only..i.e kids!)

that purple tourer with the WRD mesh 8.5 and 9.5x16 rims certainly appeals to me

17" alpinas with a (estimated) 60/40 drop and standard bodywork (i like it that way on a white tourer, can look funny otherwise)
looking better with anthracite / polished 16" alpinas:

i think im going to copy you with the anthracite/polished rims and the black grill mate.might possibly go for the tinted windows as well though,very dark and menacing

tooo bad its a 318i
16x8 & 16x9 bbs rs with black centers and a polished lip is a good choice

That's write gcorky, heated seats and the first is the sunroof.
small one above left window switch is rear window isolater (for door switchs only..i.e kids!) that's also correct.
And above the right windows switches is the power switch to isolate all 4 switches.
The swithc above for the sunroof is still ob his position but doesn't work.
take care dennesshi

if you're dong that, i's suggest trying something other than your 17" BK's as i found the change to lighter 16's gave me a LOAD more grip and 'feel'. i assume you don't have an excessive grip problem...
i reckon with my dark wheels it looks right. in my opinion, a white m-tech 2 touring looks odd but the black trims break it up a bit.
it's a shame that i only have 3.5 16" alpinas at the moment
