It has Billstein suspension, exaust pipes from m3, rear silencer from 325, Hella smoked frontlights, shorter diff with LSD, chip, different cams, stahlflex brake pipes...

Now i am at the begining of a new project, an e36 steering rack.

Probably one the best 318is' i've seen for a while now...That is a sweet looking car you have there Borut.. 8)
It sits lovely and the wheels really do compliment the colour of the car.

What ratio diff and cams do you have mate? Any plans to get some foglights too?

This is e30 diff with LSD. I belive they were installing it in 316i and 318i.

It just spins through the gears. I can rev it up to 7600rpm so it is quite fun to drive and play with it :)

Ive got an open 4.27 diff in mine after the 4.1 shat itself (all i could find at the time!) Works well though, pulls harder through the gears, just obviously maxes out sooner. Also feels like you need a 6th gear on the motorway!

As for a 4.27 LSD, i reckon youve got even less chance of finding one of these than a 4.1 If you ask me, a 318is is far more likely to be factory LSD specced than a 318i or 316i!

Hey Borut,

First of all, great looking car, they don't come this clean often these days.
I've got a question about your exhaust. Did you modify it? Cause I tought a 325 exhaust has 2 "in" pipes whereas a 318is has only 1.
Also congrats on your wheels they look great.
Keep the pics coming,

Cheers,
Max
