My lazur blue M50 powered 318is - Soon to be sold!

Thu Dec 04, 2008 6:42 pm

With the top coat and laquered

Got all the front end bolted on wings front panel and bonnet so will be painted soon

Thu Dec 04, 2008 6:48 pm

And i also dug my seats out from the back of the unit. They'll be cleaned up and fitted when it comes back from the bodyshop.

Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:03 pm

My favourite type, colour and pattern of seats

Looks like it will be a nice car

Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:05 pm

Looks awesome with fresh paint on. So that's what mine SHOULD look like!

Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:07 pm

It took a while to find a decent enough set and at the right price. These were the best price... free!

Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:10 pm

If you happen to stumble across another set id like to be at the top of the list for at least one seat with decent cloth/foam

Thu Dec 04, 2008 9:55 pm

I'll keep a look out for some. They dont come up very often tho.

Thu Dec 04, 2008 11:56 pm

i'll take the other seat to dan when you find some more lol!

Fri Dec 05, 2008 6:44 pm

Seats all steamed and cleaned and they look lovely! As for the car it doesn't look so good.. it is currently in primer and not at its full potential. On the up side tho it means that the top coat will be going on soon and finally be able to take it on its maiden voyage to the mot station!

Fri Dec 05, 2008 10:05 pm

Genuine Recaros? Nice!

I'll reserve my place in the queue if you stumble on another pair! Jammy git!

It's coming along nicely. Those seats and wheels combined with the Tech 2 kit are going to look

What kind of power will the M50 make when it's running?

Not sure on the power it'll be running when hit finally hits the road, it has a lightened flywheels so thats some more power unleashed, once its all done and running well i'll get some figures

Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:22 pm

All primed and ready for a rub down and the top coat hopefully this week

Wed Dec 10, 2008 7:08 pm

i can't beleive you painted the engine bay and then didn't clean the engine when you put it in

is that the standard bmw colour?

Thu Dec 11, 2008 5:21 pm

The engine was clean but the dirty bodyshop has covered it in dust! It is standard BMW colour Lazur blue.

good read,,nice car

Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:13 pm

Small update the front and rear bumpers have been painted and fitted along with the side skirts so just need the door pods and can fit the rest of the kit. Bleed the brakes and get it ready for its MOT so it can hit the road on the 1st of Jan

Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:14 pm

Good work

Sat Dec 20, 2008 6:05 pm

Bleed the brakes today thepeddle was really nice till it went to take it for a drive and the servo decided to somehow destroy itself so now i need a new servo. Thats what you get for putting some trust in french workmanship. I will now have to find a golf one as not ging anywhere near french sh!t again.

Very nice

Front needs to be a smidgen lower though

Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:03 pm

Its got 60mm lowering springs on it, brand new bilsteins so the suspension is very hard needs to settle properly

Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:06 pm

looks awsome

shame about the eyebrows

Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:18 pm

Very nice!

I always said BMW should have made lazer tech2 sports.

Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:27 pm

This looks lovely in the flesh.. Great colour! Wheels are awesome also.

Proper highbacks also..

Mon Dec 29, 2008 8:25 pm

very choice sir

Did she feel like she shifts before the servo went on strike?

Tue Dec 30, 2008 5:41 pm

That looks fantastic! My favourite colour. Those wheels really suit it and I like the smoked lights, goes nicely with the colour IMO. Is this a keeper or will it be sold on?

Tue Dec 30, 2008 5:51 pm

looks spot on

It is his own car..

It is an awesome colour, perhaps the best available to mere mortals with non M3 or motorsport cars.

I've been thinking that the those wheels would look really good on the back of mine with standard front BBS as the patterns are nigh on identicle. It would give a very subtle but staggared look.

Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:30 pm

The car is not going anywhere, its taken me a few months to get it to this stage and i have no plans to sell it.

@ e30beemerlad Took it down the runway today and it certainly does shift picks up really well with a lightened m20 flywheel aswell. Im running m20 light flywheel i think its 4.7kgs standard being 9ish i think and 318is box with a 3.91 lsd so it should shift well

Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:31 pm

You dont see many this colour with or without kits. i love the colour esp with a tech 2 kit!
