    New here from the UK with a 318is!

    Hi I'm Dave from the UK and this is my 318is coupe.

    It's got Shortened strut housing coilover conversion up front with uprated dampers and springs at the back, wheels are keskin kt1's, and other than that it's pretty much how it was when it left the factory.

    Plans for the future include a front lip and side skirts, and an M52.

    Let me know what you think! (Sorry about the iphone pics)

                  OP, having an m42 is cool now, so you should probably keep it.

                      I'd like too but I'd like more power, I looked at turboing the m42 but to gain the same power that I would get from an m52 the cost is almost double.

                      Thanks, hoping to get hold of a decent camera soon to take some better shots!
