.. new guy w/ a 318i ...

[jw 325ic]

nice me and my fiance actually just got her a 91 alpine white with cardinal red interior. i see yours is cherry, but still...nice color combo.

Actually, there are 3 reds. Cardinal Red, then the much less common Taurusrot (aka. Oxblood), and then Cherry Red. Oxblood red is a much darker shade. Here it is from in Sport Form, from an E28 M535i.
Sorry for the thread hijack.

Another thread hijack here, but isn't there another red that's between the Cardinal red and Oxblood? It's Crimson red i think.


And to the OP, i love the color combo.

Hmm, I don't think so. Do you have any pictures of what it looks like? Taurus and Cherry Red are pretty rare, but I've never heard of Crimson.

badass lil 318! awesome. welcome to them M10 life.......

1. dont you dare change the bumpers on that nice piece of work.
2. dont listen to all this m10 negativity. the M10 is probably the most potent engine out for the E30. its an amazing and simple machine.
3. keep it as stock as possible.

lol thats just my opinion. i love the look tho. what a great find. how much did u say u got it for?

I don't have any pictures of it. I was looking though ebay in the BMW brochures awhile back and it was for Color and Upholstery selections for 89 or 90 models (i can't remember the exact year). I should of saved the scan that the guy took of the brochure but i didn't .

Is that a 3rd brake light on your dash? Nice 318.

84's had some random ass 02 sensor failure light on the dash....Why you ask....we will never know.....and for some other stupid reason 84 and 85 have different O2 sensors also

[hendrixvodu]

Yeah, I drove my m10 5spd all of 8 miles before I began the teardown.

not every person on here has the money or the know how on how to do an S52 swap my good man ;) ....and they really arent that bad i want to do a 3:73 LSD diff and that 02 block and crank that i have been hearing about as being, not too bad of an application for the people who are light in the pocket.

I finally found it, it's for 1990.
