Yup, I sure will. I fully intend on keeping notes and taking pics for the suspension job, and the shift kit job. Still waiting for my springs to get here, and then I'll be waiting for the weather to get nice so I can take her out on the road again. It will be a few weeks before I start either...

No Problem:) hehe [wiggle]

I've bought a UUC Evo III short shift kit for my 318ic. UUC also makes a "DSSR" (Double shear selector rod). This would be a nice addition to my shift kit, but they don't make a DSSR for my car. Apparently my selector rod (any 318ic/is w/M42 with no air conditioning) has a bent selector rod...

Potholes are rampant this time of year in Ontario... all the snow is gone and you should see all the pavement on the side of the roads... The plows rip up so much:( The fastest I've been in my 318ic is 190km/h, and it does take a bit longer to get there:) Do USA cars have MPH and KPH on their...

The Rogue mounts were second on my list after the OEM, but I don't like how they're installed with the mounting nuts on the outside of the car. I don't know why I'm affraid of urethane... I know it's better that rubber, but I've never felt a urethane bushing before, so I don't know how rigid...

That's what I always hear about only working on 4... the resistor.

Yup. Welcome to the "My 5er has electrical problems" Club.

I'm leaning towards factory mounts... I'm thinking that factory mounts, even though they will fail, will give me a bit of a nicer ride. Basically, I'm affraid that these aftermarket $100 mounts are more for track cars, and are going to punish my 16year old car more than I want.

I didn't quite wet my pants, but there were definately white knuckles. My revs were over 4500rpm.... my dashboard was shaking:) It's by far the fastest I've ever gone, and the brand new (at the time) E46 behind me was keeping up pretty good, but not making an attempt to pass. I was...

Sweet car! Love the Alpina rims. Very nice ride. So what, your plates over the pond are peel and stick?

I got caught with my summer tires on in a snowfall once. Goodyear Eagle F1 Gs D2's... Incredible tire! Then it snowed, I couldn't stop, go, or turn. The car became undriveable. This is a very aggressive tread pattern, some summer tires are bearable in a wintery situation.

"clickety clack, clickety clack, down the track" Famous for their failure, but super easy to change. I've just got my Koni adjustable shocks today, and I'm looking at a spare set of OEM rear shock mounts I keep on hand. They look nice and strong. If I use them with these Koni's and lowering...

The instrument cluster stopped keeping track of km's somewhere around 450,000kms. Fortunately, the previous owner (my uncle) had all three tranny's put in... by the time I got it, it was on it's third tranny, and it shifted hard, but never failed. I pounded the hell out of it, and it survived...

17'' is as big as anyone with an E30 usually goes. Do the suspension first, then pick out rims. If you really want true rideheight adjustablility, you need a coil-over kit, which I'm sure H&R makes for the E30. Pricey though, but all worth it. Better for track cars though.

The trunk fell off. I love WRX's, but I'll pass on that. Probably fun as hell anyways. Look at that engine compartment. We should play "where's the spark plugs?"!!

I was completely unprepared for that. I threw up a little in my mouth.

I've always heard that to drive a Porsche hard and not lose it in the corners, that you have to brake hard into the corner, but really finess the car out upon acceleration... the extra weight in the rear of the Porsche will want to try to pass the front of the car. If you're looking at buying...

(I'm assuming you haven't lost or thrown out the stripped knob) You know how gears on machines are installed? With keystock. Notch the inside of the knob, notch the volume control shaft, and slide a piece of a thick paper clip or something. Or, use crazy glue. Any reason why that wouldn't...

www.bmpdesign.com They are in Tyler, Texas. They will take care of all your needs. Your car is easy to fit a suspension upgrade to. I only bought Intrax springs because supposedly they are specific for the 318ic (rare model with M42). Eibach and H&R only make springs for the 325ic, so I...

One of my old '86 325e's was on it's 3rd tranny, and it was a piece of garbage.
