My project 84 318i

More like the X3 3.0 shif lever .
US never got any manual X5's that I'm aware of .

idiot. the X5 3.0 is the best lever around.

Dude, the car looks dope! I love the minimalist look - it's clean and 'lean', for lack of a better word.

I want to swap my dash, but I know that for me, even the smallest cosmetic interior fix is a slippery slope that will end up in me redoing the entire interior. So, I'll live vicariously.

Post them on a Honda forum. For some reason, they <3 them. *shrugs*
I'm about to get about $100 for all of mine (5).

p.s. dude, three letters. SSK. You're going to poke someone's eye out.

what honda forum, give me a link ?

lol, I hated the diving board plastic covers/trim! fine, i'll paint the weaves gold j/k but seriously, it's a fricking pos 318i, I have to make it look "basic" enough , then give it more power, then it can look aggressive with different wheels/stance etc. I haven't replaced the shifter yet because my car has the older style shift console, not the later style where you guys just get a z3/z4 ssk and be done with it. Pat@bma also wasn't sure if it would work for me, so i'll have to wait and do it later with the engine/tranny swap. I just gotta throw some carbotech p+ pads on it and replace the cat back and it's done for now.

Sharpy did not work for me at all, I ended up spray painting them.

I'm impressed with how quickly you've done all this. I wish I would have had that kind of time, this whole swap wouldn't have taken 8 months. Once winter hit though, it was impossible to get anything done, way too cold.

Well, by comparison, grass grows quickier than you complete projects.

I hear the x5 is a nice shifter... puts it close to the wheel and still short throws.

Congrats Jean you have managed to turn your unique old skool cool aggresive looking early model into a plain Jane mundane and very dull appearing late model 325i .
Yay to you . :D


Hahahah , j/k man , you know I love you and I know you are doing it for the greater cause . :)

p.s. dude, three letters. SSK. You're going to poke someone's eye out.

Lever height has nothing to with a real SSk . Dude .
