If you wanna make a 318i even slower than standard, fit a phat bodykit. That really is all show, no go!

Pimp my ride uk is truly Shite...........The u.s version is crap and they make an eye sore of most of the cars but at least it all looks professional.

I hope pimp my ride uk doesnt get shown in the u.s :o: What would the yanks think of that ?

I think its just that the "phat" bodykit doesn't usually look right on an e30 due to the age of the car. there are some exceptions eg bootymans cab. Most people just stick with the usual mods, If they just dropped it -40mm, clear indicators, 15inch bbs, tech 2 kit etc it wouldn't make a very interesting or watchable programme.

If i had a car and it went on pimp my ride, i would be scared to tell them my hobbies and interests for fear of collecting my car and finding out they have fitted an astroturf football pitch on the roof :roll:
