Had my e30 for almost a year. If I'm honest, I bought it on a wim after spotting it on someones driveway and I don't really now much about the finer details of the car in terms of OEM spec.
I want to return it to 100% standard...
I know its got the wrong exhaust, and a set of 30mm springs and bilstein shock (probably leave the suspension tbh).
But what splitter should it have and is this the correct steering wheel?

Hi and welcome.

The standard spec steering wheel for a 318iS is a 385mm m technic 1.

The 318iS should also have a deeper front splitter, item number 2 in the link below.

Yes the splitter needs changing for the correct one but that wheel could have been bought with the car as a dealer option and on that basis perfectly acceptable imo to retain it
