I Can't Stop Obsessing! I Have 318is Fever!

[iamsam]

holy crap 40% locking LSD??? Where can I get one??

[rThor432]

^^Damn right..

[M42Power]

Solution: 320is (if it was possible to you to get one)

In the two door version:



And the sleeper 4 door:



Under the hood, a 2.0 s14 with 197hp, mated to a dogleg close ratio and (in some cars) A 40% locking LSD, plus m tech suspension.

Now THAT'S a car

Um, yeaaahhh :)

Don't listen to the BS about the M42 being slow as shit, getting worse gas mileage than an eta, etc... and to correct some HP numbers listed above, the M20B25 is rated at 168, and the M42 has ALOT more than 5 hp more than the M20B27. M42 has 134, B27 has 122. That's 12 hp.

I'll take the ~30+ ftlbs of torque over the 12hp any day...

LOVE my m42!!

You just missed out a few weeks ago. A nice low mileage (120k iirc) red 318is was listed for 1500 on Bend craiglist. I didn't see it till two days after it was posted and it was already gone but from the looks of the ad it sounded like they were in a hurry to sell and my guess is that it probably went for ~1000.

I also have had the fever after my 318is was taken from me by some unlicensed driver.

That car had been for sale from 2500-1500 on and off for months. I was going to fly up and look at/buy it but the seller was flaky as shit and gave me bad vibes. Keep looking you'll be in the right place at the right time eventually. I got mine from the original owner for $1000.

^^^Sounds like the deal I'm looking for, nice and close too.

So get it.....

I wish life was just that easy.



But really, I did email the seller already. They seem pretty legit- its originally a texas car, i'll assume right off the bat its probably going to need $1200 to get it ready for the abuse...err I mean daily driving I'm planning on putting it through. Then considering the horrid paint its even more. I would go check it out, but I'm not going to be in the country for the next 17 or so days. Fuck, I dont know what I'm doing. I already have 2 cars

Well... I'm happy to tell you guys that I've become terribly ill again - yup, you guessed it. I have the fever.



I just want to buy E30s all day! Wtf is wrong with me?! I found a 91 318is in Sacramento for cheap... besides having some fucking nasty paint, it looks as solid as any car on the internet can look. I want it fuuuuuuck. :(

I may have been misinformed, but my buddy with a ti said the m42 was prone to head-gasket failure. If you intend to beat on it a little.

you have been misinformed. I beat on my M42 all the time.

[Jean]

Then wait till you have 340i fever...

fixed
