        Thx!
        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.

                            Well, I use Ă–hlins 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:

                            Here's another video:

                              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.
