For 2000GBP - 4000 Dollars i think? it came with everything on it, the Rims, m3 backlights and m3 bootlid/spoiler. new front full end panels and respray, new back arch and respray, hella lights powerflow backbox, m3 front bumper, clear indicators. some other minor things.... i love it to peices...

Did a full re-wire myself and mounted some alphasonik tweeters in the old speaker mounts so they look stealth, alpha mid's and 6x9s, and sub system.

my projects for the future include:
Full Respray
Currently doing a Full interior on a seperate saloon interior i have spare
halfway through pricing a new year project turbo setup
Currently migging some piping for a dual backbox setup..

Opinions please, do the wheels actually suit the car...?!



- forgot to mention it also came lowered with bilstein suspension. im not too sure how much it is lowered but the front and back is deffo lowered.!

Wheels look great. I'd have to pay more than 4k USD for that here. Sounds like you got a great deal. Happy motoring!

[downeaster1]

no the wheels don't suit the car...so you should give them to me :)

Jk, yes they actually look great on your car in my oppinion

[crucifudge]

wow great deal, or depreciation in GB is horrible, either way, nice ride.

[chefsboss]

Very Nice. Daddy like.

i dont know what else to do to it, i think i need some m3 mirrors and side black panel thingys.. with the mtec badge on, other than that i dont know what else... anyone suggest? , you can notice the difference in the paint matching though... even though i got it cheap the garage who painted it did a shit match... i wanted to respray in the bmw black black gloss i think, or maybe a mad colour...

[EuroCar]

Hmmmm, those look liek factory paints to me, just looks like the doors are Titanium Silver while the fender and hood and w/e else is Arctic Silver

New - 318I R registered 96-97 126k.


A 318i R? Um its not a honda bud, theres no such thing as a 318i R....

[Bmmr2neR]

Its a clean car. Just match the paint, black out the projector light housing, and get some BSS's and youre fresh in the game. The rims could do without but theyre still not that bad.

[jetpacman]

I am in the same position as you were right now.

Some fool on his GPS wrote off my 93 318, now I am wanting to get another car.

I am thinking of going for a post 96 E36. I must say you got a sweet deal there.

A 318i R? Um its not a honda bud, theres no such thing as a 318i R....

He means is an R plate which means its a 1997 or 1998 thats what he means by R UK registration plates :P

[Flexner]

A 318i R? Um its not a honda bud, theres no such thing as a 318i R.... "R Registered as in 96-97."

[Flexner]

oops i mean 97-98 got it wrong, yeah i think he totally matched the wrong colour, should have been arctic silver.]
and... some "BSS'S"... elaborate? :)

[JDBlack7]

Yeah, maybe you got a great deal due to the paint job, other than that, the car looks clean. Do you plan on having repainted eventually? How's the interior? Are those BBS wheels? I couldn't tell because they're black.

Nice car...enjoy.

[Flexner]

the interiors spotless apart from a thread pull that happend on the seat, cant see it, and i plan on having the full thing epainted as soon as i can, and the wheels im actually not too sure what they are... how would i go about finding out? i know nothing about alloys to be honest..!
