It's from powersprint. I like it. Not to loud and not to quiet.

Nothing runs like a 318is! I love mine.

I noiced the grille emblem. Does it have the "M?" I did that to mine BUT removed the "M" and replaced it with the "IS" from the trunk.

I would love more specs on the suspension. What sways/bushings/shocks & struts are you running?

Love these action shots. Definitely how an E30 should be driven.

This is exactly what an E30 was designed to do... Bravo. You win.

Thx, Guys!

Well, I use Öhlins 4-way TTX Coilovers. Full customisation is a necessity.

:jk:
Ooh, wait... I'm still studying... ;)

When I bought the car the previous owner had fitted a H&R Cup kit.
But now it's almost ten years old. The shocks are working, but I would like something new...

In addition I've fitted Polyurethane springs(They are really cheap ~20$)
at the front axle. It's a little stiff, but it works well. Especially in autocross.

To get more camber, I've redrilled the strut mount.


For Caster I use Powerflex Offset Control Arm Bushings.
This winter I'm thinking about minimize body roll. Pherhaps using two swaybars at the rear, and connect the front swaybar to the strut. I don't know what it would do to the balance, but it would be interesting to see. Since I'm still studying, cash is quite limited... :down:

So, spring has finally come to Sweden. :D

This weekend the car will get some attention.
New oil and brake fluid and just a basic check up.

I need to have the beemer ready for track days.
