Hi All - Previously on here as bad_ass_mk4 from ages before the forum got revamped!

Had a 318i LUX that became internet famous (after i sold it) with motorhole on Pistonheads https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1296643

(My For sale pic)

I've since been the proud deliberator of a 318is in various shades of pink that i've owned for the last 5 years and partially restored (inbetween falling in and out of love with the thing - deciding whether to honour its origins or turn it into a v8 drift monster)

(Pic from the day i picked it up)

I've since decided to keep it as a 318is should be - 4 banger baby. :cool: and make it a fast road track car for enjoying on the weekend! To which end i need a few things as i sold the original engine and gearbox a while back!..

So if any of you lovely chaps have a 5 spd out of a 318is or an exhaust manifold for an M42 (or an M42/M44 for that matter) then that would be a massive help :)

Welcome back! PM Steve, and you can probably get your old account back.

You can fit an M40 getrag 240, you’d just need the matching prop shaft and you’re good to go!
