[Kemix]

Took a few pics and got a little clip of my new 318i, got it on thursday, took the front eyebrows off aswel as gave it a polish!


















Little Video (no idea what banging at begining is, doesn't do this in the flesh!!)

[Kemix]

What drop would people think that is by the way?

[Brinkland]

how many mm its lowering on the rear?

[Kemix]

I baught it like it and owner didn't know!

[Brinkland]

Looks great man!

My E30 is 50mm lowering on the rear, and is higher than your....

[Kemix]

Cheers Brinky boy! haha, really... ohh maybe its a 60/60 drop then?!

[Brinkland]

Yep i think so

My red E30 its 75mm lowering in the front, and 50mm in the rear. I have only 15" rims on it with 40mm in profile .. ( 215/40-15)

you can see it on the picture

[Kemix]

looks quality, what rims are they?

[Brinkland]

Thanks

Its original BBS RM Split 10" x 15" and 8,5" x 15

[Kemix]

ah ha. Lots of £$£$£$£$£

[MooZ]

What BBS are they? they almost look too shiney to be standard

[D7UGE]

Car looks lovely mate , i'd probably lose the M' badge off the boot lid though.


Looks a well clean car that though , nice purchase. (the best colour! lol).




(p.s... whoever was filmin ya video is a bit of a giggler mind , what was so funny? lol).

[Kemix]

they are standard 15" BBS, they come up very shiney, they may have been sprayed at some point? Thanks D7UGE, still deciding on the M badge! Thats my girlfriend filming haha, not sure why she is giggling though!

[D7UGE]

Probably told herself a joke she'd never heard before.

[Kemix]

haha something like that!

[jon-m42]

verry nice

[Kemix]

thanks buddy

[aj_mckay]

Looks nice, although I think I'd swap the rear springs for something a bit higher if it were mine. It currently looks like it's got a heavy load in the boot - how's the tyre wear on the rears??

[Kemix]

tyre wear is even. car sits level

[Minimayhem81]

That’s MY car!






When I bought it I didn’t have a LSD in it , but... Since I've owned it I've put Sports leather interior in it, 51mm struts and brakes etc, another LSD (never knew it used to have one!), BBS wheels, Electric sunroof, Map light mirror, Disc rear conversion etc!

It’s very strange to see your own car on youtube with someone else driving it!

[Duke137]

Did yo ubuy it off kemix? It went cheap on ebay I remember because he got done for Drink driving and had to sell it quick I think

You fitted them ARB's yet?

[kangman]

so who owns the car now??

[Minimayhem81]

Its mine and its my daily!! and yeah i got it of eBay over 2 years ago... dunno who i bought it from the chap wasnt that young... maybe his dad?

The ARB's? if you mean ARP's then not yet! there for my M42 turbo ;) that projects gonna take a while!

[Kemix]

Bloody hell this is a shock. It looks lovely on those wheels mate. Getting my license back in June so maybe I can buy it back ;) it only sold for about £750 I think. Hard times

No didn't you get some Eibach Anti-Roll Bars (ARB's) from the scrappy for like nothing?

@ kemix, you getting another E30 mate?

[Kemix]

How you doing duke?! Yes I sure hope so buddy. All depends on what comes up really. My insurance is going to be killer and I've noticed the price of the good old e30 has risen somewhat over the past couple of years! Is that a sport I can see in your avatar?!

[mani]

look good mate nice drop

[Minimayhem81]

No didn't you get some Eibach Anti-Roll Bars (ARB's) from the scrappy for like nothing?

Yes i did sorry it was late last night, Yeah i got the pair of Eibach ARBs for £20 XD I haven’t put them on yet got to paint them etc but the rear needs to go on its quite pushy with a LSD on

Bloody hell this is a shock. It looks lovely on those wheels mate. Getting my license back in June so maybe I can buy it back ;) it only sold for about £750 I think. Hard times

Thanks I bought it for £800 or £820 can’t remember lol. Good to hear you'll be back on the road, hopefully in an E30.

You can have her back for hmmm let’s see.... £4000???? Purely because of the sentimental value?
Joking aside I couldn't let her go I’ll have to finish her off and take her to a show, Santa pod or something

[Kemix]

Lol fair enough. I took it to the ultimate BMW show at pod a couple of years ago. Pics are on here somewhere I'm glad your looking after her! Yes that bloke in Kent is who I sold it to buddy. I loved that car to bits! If you ever want to sell up then please can I have first dibs?

[Minimayhem81]

So the guy in Kent couldnt have had it long, ill have to look for these pictures and of cause you can have first dibs

[Rorym2010]

I drive past this every morning on the dreaded school run an it turns my head every time. I know its been said but the drop is perfect what engine u got in there now is it still the 4 pot? Ive got the lagoon green touring ive also got a white 316i im going to start breaking so if u need any bits for yours let me know

[Kemix]

:'(

[Minimayhem81]

Hey yeah still only the 4 pot I've got an m42 turbo project on the go at the moment taking for ever just no spare time!

I've changed all the suspension since I've owned it its got adjustable rear height spring platforms and the fronts are now 51mm struts with the springs that came with it... I'm trying to sort out how to lower the front looks a bit funny at the mo! (might make them in to my own coilovers) Have you seen the silver beast I've got on my drive at the moment.... That's the next project don't know weather to break it or do it up... Need to access the rust, if any...

I think I passed you in the snow did you toot at me? I was looking the other way waiting for my mate in the mx5.

And as for the white 316.... Is it the one with the white grilles?

[Rorym2010]

Yeah thats the one I seen your silver one the other day looks quite tidy you dont see many of them in that silver sounds like you have got your hands quite full with 3 e30'S I was going to try and restore the white one but it was too far gone so then I went down the road of going to make a cheap drift beginners car but i never had the time to put into it so now shes a donor for my touring and I've just put her on here as breaking im maybe going to keep the shell once its stripped in my garage as the registration ends with spa and i want to keep it

[Minimayhem81]

Ahh of seen you around a few times, I like your new touring looks cool. I will have to say those white grills had to go! just not my cup of tea!
