Test drove this yesterday...

Post by Pidge »

... And left the guy with a deposit. Needs a few mods removing like the fake front M tech badge and the induction piping in the front grill but apart from that it was in good condition.

I think they have eagle eyes in them? As said there are a few mods that will be coming off as I want it standard :thumleft:

Its not 318 it's got the 3.0l engine in it. He had an M3 then rot got it so transferred everything over to this. Except the interior! He said it was too much like hard work! ](*,)

Need to get the interior sorted as soon as I get it and a couple of rust bubbles on the archs.

What things would it need? Thinking of keeping it pretty standard.

Would it not have been cheaper to buy an M3 and insure that, rather than pay what I assume to be pretty astronomical modification extra fees on the insurance for a 318?

It will not cost much, if any extra if he speaks to the right insurers

The interior is the easy part #-o

Great car!!!! Engine must sound sweet!

Get yourself onto e36coupe.com and watch the parts sale list for an interior.

I had Vaders in my last 36, they look so nice but super uncomfortable.

I'd be going back to standard lights upfront as well :thumleft:

Try and get a Dave F induction kit. It's a K&N with a heat shield. Sounds amazing with a straight 6 =P~

You can also buy the M3 front lip from BMW for less than £50!

I've got a load of E36 spares at my parents. I will see if there's anything of worth in there for you :thumleft:
