I know i need a lip, and yes, i know i need to lower it.

Lol looks like jays old SEL in front of Kirby, what a shame for that car. Its cool that we recently went junkyard hopping cause we found an E23 with passenger side door damage. It was an auto though so that B34 isn't touching my 318is! I go with the M30B35 instead.

Ah thats funny, i knew it was going to be that store right from the first picture, i live in Midland.

Looks like a really nice 318 you have there but im sad to see the m42 go.

Haha yeah, its a pretty cool old building and i live right down the road from it, so yeah lol.


Midland eh? what kinda e30 do you have?


Thanks for the complements on the car man, i had to drive a looong way to get it (sanford maine). The m42 is a great little engine, but i'm looking forward to the extra power of the m30

so....what's going in?

[dannyyisntt]

This is in Bay City? Whats the name of the store?

Yep. It's the old mill end store that went out of business

The m40 is awful, the distribuition is badly designed and you have to change the timing belt every 40.000 kilometers otherwise you are fucked, wich happened to my ex 316i. Should have got an 316 with no i

Yep, the M40 was never released in the US. Not like we're missing much.

No, you're not missing anything. It's a buzzy little thing, the M40. My hand hurts sometimes after flogging it, the shifter vibrates like a hair-trimmer. Regardless, it still moves the Touring along quickly enough.
It hurts me to see all of these M42's coming out when I'm having trouble finding a good one(for my not-yet-acquired project car) over here in Germany.

[Wh33lhop]

nope. early model 318's got the m10 all late model 318s got the m42....In the US atleast
