[Erick]

I'm not JDM, I'm just a contrast whore.

Much better i can see the car with out laying on the ground to look at it hahah!

[SLEEPERracer]

how'd you fit the kosei's on there? are they 27 et? cause some guy had some for sale and had 27 et. and i dont think he used a spacer or anything. did you have to use something to have them fit the car??? looks frikn sweet!!

[Erick]

Yes the Koseis are ET27. I need to find another Kosei same size/offset because I messed one of them up, but I hear these wheels are NLA.

ET27 Koseis fit right in. You need a hubcentric ring but that's it. Otherwise the wheel bolts right on with no need for spacers or anything.

Dude, early model 318i's in nz dyno around 60whp, so maybe less than 75?

[Erick]

I wouldnt be surprised.... I looked up on some website and it said 0-60 N/A.

They save gas tho.

[Digitalwave]

Schools out man, I'll be down to take pictures as soon as one of these cars is running :)

[Erick]

lol.... we might have to leave that for June/July then.

[318iEnthusiast]

I'm too lazy to reroute my oil cooler lines.



My 318i is the unhealthiest engine in the world. Those things came with 100bhp out of factory (so figure ~85whp). That and the way it acts up... I wouldnt be surprised if it was pushing even less than 75whp.

I would dyno it, but the readings would probably not even show up to the bottom of the chart lol

only 75whp? y? mine pushes 145bhp.... dunno whp...what year is yours? mines a 91...

[Erick]

Mine's an '85. :)

SOHC Power. (Or lack thereof) 8-)

[DEV0 E30]

Yours has an M42, his has an M10.

[Erick]

Plastic bumpers probably threw him off. :)

[DEV0 E30]

Probably, that this is sexy. Damn, talk about posting at the same time.

[318iEnthusiast]

Plastic bumpers probably threw him off. :)

no it's the fact that the m10 supposedly sucks ass and only puts out 95whp tops (from what i heard from bmw autoshop)... the m42 is a hell of a lot better then the m10.. but nothing close to the other engines in the later e30's...

but you have to admit.. the plastic bumpers looks sooo much more sexy then those damn metal ones...

... one question i have is.. y are you missing a beam?
