1991 318i Touring

[Goro]

Finally bring it home few days ago. It is 91' 318i touring with 3.0 v8 engine(m60b30), 5-speed gearbox and 3.15 40% lsd differetial. It has H&R CUP shocks, H&R front and rear adjustible swaybars, yellow powerflex bushes on whole suspension, two mufflers with xpipes, Ate powerdisc in front, Stilauto 15x6 et13 and two Autostyle halfracing seats with H belts. Car is painted in interlagos blau color, it has side skirts from an X and tinted rear windows.

This is picture when I bring it home


Then I switch rims, steering wheel and mtech seats from my coupe and wash/clean it from inside. Still need to get redone rear seats and take few plastics from donor 325ix but I'm in no hurry. Headliner is also in bad shape, somebody was experimenting on it so need to redone it.










Also have rx7/corrado brake kit what I prepare for coupe but will put it on touring. Just need to paint them. I manage to find m60b40, still looking for 6-speed gearabox. Will collect some money during the summer and after it all winter in garage...


And for end my little mechanic :D

Hey, where was the previous owner from? I remember a 320iT swapped V8 from Slovenia =)

He was also from Croatia, island Krk. Today I got free day so I take touring out for a little ride and washed coupe.

As the radio wiring was done bad I decided to go from zero. Get new +/- and took complete wiring out of an e36. Wiring is in excelent shape, no cracked wires or plugs. It also has original bmw amplifier and bmw nokia speakers. I wanted to put original e36 rear boxes in trunk but there was no space for them so I put speakers only. 2 speakers were bad so I change them with some JVC I had at home.

Rising from the dead after 5 months....one season is finally at the end but for touring is just about to start :)

Hi to everyone, during the season i collect and still collecting parts. Till now I manage to collect new front, rear brakes and Borbet T's 2x 16x7.5 et 35, 2x 16x9 et 30 and 2x 16x9 et 15. Engine m60b40 has been send few days ago and supposed to came in monday afternoon. Still need to order radiator from 324 turbo diesel and e46 steering rack...

As the season is dying I no longer work all day but only one shift during the day, so now have time to work on car. As I sad above, I bought new brakes but upgrade front ones to 312x25mm from Audi TT and callipers from 540i(60/28/302). Rear ones are original and everything is ATE. Last two days I manage to make adapters and put everything ond it's place, still need to trim adapters 2mm to fit the disc in center of callipers. When everytnig sits perfect, I will clean callipers, paint them and put new rubbers.

Yesterday I made one adapter just to get the shape and holes
