[agreen]

why wont you damm stuborn 6 pot peeps just admit you have just brought the wrong cars a 320 do you know the 0 2 60 time on them compared to a 318is surgest looking in the back of pbmw magmatey should make for interesting reading MUPPET

[e30bmlover]

as for handling, i will have that covered with bilstein shocks, 325 sport anti roll bars and eibach springs, schnitzer strut brace for the front and a brace for the rear. she will be sweet when finished.

[maxfield]

Still wouldn't worry an iS.

They can brake later! Also will handle just as well as that setup!

[e30bmlover]

i couldnt care if a i.s can handle better! if i wanted one i would buy one. i doubt there would be allot in it with the b20's(b25's) setup and a i.s. you make them out to be something that has been touched by the hand of god!

E30BMLOVER HAVE YOU LOST YOUR WHELS

lol wheels?? are you spying on me or something???

[kidsinister]

As a voice of moderation, can I just say I've owned a 318iS, I now have a 2.5L Alpina and would still consider a 318iS in the future.

What you essentially have is a 325i Sport without the rust-inducing bodykit (OK, and the LSD) but for thousands less. If the running costs of a Sport are beyond you, they're the next best thing.

Simple. As. That.

[agreen]

not the next best thing mate the BEST THING

[Morat]

buy a 325 touring and get best of both worlds - balance and grunt
Oh, and you can stick your victims in the boot of course

[bigun]

wah my two mates have the is i have the sport they couldnt keep up on the m40 on the way back from gaydon in a straight line and round the corners its all about balls and 9inch rims the is is the poor mans 2.5 just like the boxster is nuff said im off for a jamaican woodbine

[Morat]

I dont see the point of all this talk of a well set up 325 with all this suspension lark to make it handle abit better than a standard 318iS

So with all the money somebody spends on a 325 to make it handle as good as the 4pot, The person that has the iS that the 325 owner is trying to keep up with through the twisties can go ahead and spend the same money on both the suspension and the M42 engine since the suspension doesn't need as much work and hence the 318iS is still better
Haha, ye still cant win

The only 6 pot I would get is a 325 touring since I'd have the weigth of the tail to balance the See-saw effect of the engine in the front

[bss325i]

6 pots don't sound as good as 4 pots...

You canot be serious!

[fuzzy]

What is so good about these 318is's

nothing. did someone say they were?

[DanThe]

6 pots don't sound as good as 4 pots...

You canot be serious!

My thoughts exactly

[hammoj28]

I like 325 sports, they sound amazing and look amazing but when i get enough money i wont be buying one. The only car im looking for is an M3. In my eyes its the next best thing after mine. Just cant wait to get my hands on one.

For the money the 318iS is brilliant. Plus it has more power per litre.

In the end they are all great cars cos they are all E30's. This argument has been done over and over again.

[DanThe]

Dont forget the iS is galvanized

[snoops]

is is the poor mans 2.5 just like the boxster is

[agreen]

yeh i gues we are all just bumbeling alongtil we can afford m3's i know i am

[hammoj28]

oh yeh, and i think the 318iS is a poor mans m3 not a poor mans 325.lol.

Its either a typo or he's been at bigun's stash. No way an m42 sounds better than the straight six. If it were all about engine noise though we'd all be driving alfa's and debating the merits of the v6 versus the flat 4.
