Hi just bought this motor 6mnths ago what can i do to her to smarten her p shes a 1991 318is in brilliant redish/pink with 325i lump i have a limited budget just need a few hints ty

Welcome Neighbour !!!!!!!!

Have you managed to get the exhaust sorted ?

Regarding the pink paint, My first E30 was really bad, i gave it a good T-Cut, then used some Autogylm Paint restorer, then a good wax to get the shine back.

too late, he just said it's already got a m20b25 in it mate.
the chain on the m42b18 probably snapped.

Why is it such a travesty to replace the m42?

I was looking to buy this car before dangerous did.

It was going to be a track day car. The previous owner had fitted the early high comp M20B25 and fitted 325i front springs and shocks.....

There once was a man called Steve......who had an M50 up his sleeve..........

That was my point. Years ago everyone raved on here about how good the 318iS handling was compared to a 325, so it would be a crime to change the engine for the extra power to mess up handling, exactly what a properly built 2.7 would do to your m3.

Chain snapping on the 318iS, lol I thought the idea of a belt on a 325 / cracked head would be more dodgy. Common fault would have been if anything the profile gasket on the 318iS....

the is does handle well and more so than a 325i
who should you put a heavy 6 pot under the bonnet of an already very well sorted car?

danny, your real name isnt steve is it? do you have an M50 conversion project?

oh my cup of boredom has poured that looks more exciting than your wonderful ideas

[Karan]

ive pushed iS' and 325s hard and i dont think theres honestly much difference between the 2.....

[Karan]

obviously m3 is a different kettle of fish....
