    Replacement Killer : White, beat up lab rat

    '91 318iS, stock save the aesthetics which I saved from the eta which I sold whole

    Future plans = GCs and just auto-x the hell out of it till I can afford to enroll for a DE.

    Car has a salvage title, nice amount of dings, dirty paint, 156k mi, strong running motor, profile and head gaskets done, DOT R d.side fender, petty rust spots from cheap damage fixes, no rust on undercarriage or major frame areas & susp areas, grey cloth sport interior, ripped d.seat, 4.10LSD, working AC 8) , Peeling Rear trunk iS deck spoiler, misaligned trunk lid. PO gave me MTechnick Shocks and M3 springs but I have not yet put them on. Car needs control arms like WHOA and some petty rubber pieces under the hood and then I can start flogging it.

    Main reason for purchase = To enhance driving skills. Wanted something cheap that was gonna be fun to drive and not an m20. I drove Tiato aka Mario's m42 in December and got hooked. e30 M3 was not an option so I got this @ a nice price :twisted:

    Excuse the quality of the pics, this is a camera I am not familiar with.

    I love it! :)

    I've actually contemplated selling my car and buying a 318... not sure if I could stand the lesser amount of power though.

      now that's badass. I like the smoked ellips on your white car.

      i have a white car but haven't installed my smoked ellips yet.

                        Yup, Eric is going to love the car. You guys should have seen the test session back in December. Eric was all smiles navigating a high school parking lot primeter road at speed.

                        Good images Eric, car looks a lot better than you describe.

                              Trade you your cloth interior for vinyl.... ;)

                              Great cars these M42's are, yes. And what spring rates for GC you looking at?
