Hey guys,
This is my 318is, Ive had her just over a month and im loving it. I have covered just over 2000 miles so far and everything seems fine, allthough there is a wierd noise from the back left of the car (maybe exhaust rattle?) after giving it some beans. Its a brilliant car to drive and still makes me smile.

Anyway here are some pictures:

My to do list is as follows:
Keep it tidy
Tidy up a few of the little cosmetic imperfections over the next couple of months
Fit an IS lip
Fit a heck spoiler or a tech 1
Give it a full service
m3 front bushes
maybe an e36 rack?


Cheers

Nice, looks very clean, I've also got an IS, nice on the minor roads, I find it a bit buzzy on long motorway journeys

listen for a rattle from the engine when the revs are between 3000 and 4000 rpm, that will be your cam chain and is pricey to sort if its not just the tensioner.
Be prepared for hard time from the 325 boys on here especially if you brag about performance :D

Happy motoring :cool:

Nice car. I had a White 318is and I've got to say they look the biz. You can't beat an alpine White 2 e30 sweet ride man. Need to sell my 325i so I can get another one.

Cheers barry,
will probably take you up on it at some point! Im gonna get around to replacing the tech 2 spoiler next weekend, as i have a heck spoiler at home waiting to go on. Don't worry this car is loved alot more than the baur was, the baur ended up as bit of a workhorse!
