My 318is oem+ build

[Bob_S]

I got slightly jealous of seeing all the projects people have going on so I decided or rather chris w decided to get me started on the slippery slope of massive BMW parts bills by giving me a good condition sport shell..

looks like so atm


Just searching for some inspiration atm spec so far includes
bilstein B8 shocks
eibach 35mm springs
H&R anti roll bars
poly bushes on rear trailing arms, beam and eccentric wishbone bushes
supersprint rear exhaust section
dark check 318is interior
electric roof and windows
DIY smoked hellas
clear indicators
is lip spoiler
se sideskirts
new oem wheel bearings
loads of new gen BMW parts
rear pop-outs
new window, door and boot seals all round

[Simon13]

whats wrong with the braker shell?! seems a waste if it's ok!

[slinky2000]

comin along nicely mate

[Bob_S]

rear panel is fudged mate the sport shell is better tbh and already started on it so makes sense to carry on also the breaker shell has been raped for body parts too and I wrote a part number on the roof!

cheers slinky

What has that poor car done to deserve an M42?

[hammoj28]

I think it should feel special to receive such an amazing power plant.

[Bob_S]

[Scruffymurphy]

This will be special when t's finished. Best of luck with it.

[DougE36]

Lets face it, times change, engines develop, and the M44 is beter then the M42

[Pal318is]
