I bought this 318is stock(formerly ka "my Prius") in 2014 drove it along with my 1999 e36 m3. Then when my M3 got T-boned I started the idea of swapping the motor into my Prius.
Pros of the 318is it still has its original paint, zero rust, and no shocks tearing thru the body like my M3
Cons it didn't come with power door locks which was a first for me(considering that I have owned over a dozen E30s over the years) I'm thirty friken 8 in 9 minutes.) also at this point the car has a few jack and hoist dent bellow the belt.
Now about the swap, over the past five years, I tried just about everything to get the car where it is today. Tried the m50 intake and chucked it for the obd2 setup, had 14" momos, 15" ACs, had a m3 muffler at first with the resonator, which didnt last very long.
suspension I went from Raceland I know don't laugh, then H&Rs.
the cooling system went from fan clutch and e30 radiator to the setup I am running now, I am getting to that next.
Current set up that is tried and true
It's officially my birthday now and I am done typing for the night I will be heading to the dive bar as of now.

Finally found a post that sheds light on my BBK here https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/for...ood-e30-brakes .
Apparently they are old school, and made for the e30, so you don't have to go 5 lug swap to get BBK.
They look ravishing even with the battle scars.
To clarify they are RPIequipped BBK made by WILWOODComment

Exhaust system is obviously custom I had two separate muffler shops do my setup the last place installed a woven flex pipe leaked fumes into cab then hit this ridiculous bend

I was running with a bent fuel are pipe until I realized I can just cut the pipe out and replace it with a rubber fuel line. Car starts right away now.Attached FilesComment

M42 radiator if you want to be able to bleed the cooling system fast and easy. Resovour is attached to it and out of the way.
you just have to plug a few line leading to tb and engine
