The can of worms 318i

[LateFan]

I love cleaning parts. Jobs take me twice as long as they should because I spend so much time on it

We might be related. Also, if I don't know what to do next, I just clean.

Nice thread. Impressive fab skilz.

Awesome to see attention being paid to an 84 M10! Car looks very cool.

Whoa. Awesome to see the transformation of this car! It looks sweet!

Damn, that was a satisfying read. You've actually accomplished putting on the car all of the parts I have piled in my garage for four cars.

hot damn I remember when I was at the same point, bone stock m10 318 automatic.

Looks great already.

It says 318i on the trunk and door pillar, and realOEM pulls up the VIN as a 318i. I know they made an early 325 that had no letter, but I think all 318's came with letters.

Any way you woulf be willing to share your old rear suspension set up?gC, billstiens, 4" hypercoil 225id springs?

It was home built, bought new 325ix shocks and sent them back to Bilstein to get revalved stiffer and shorter. Housings were shortened 2.5", springs were Swift 5" 60mm id 14k front and Hypercoil 4" 2.25" id 900lb rear. They cost more and rode worse than the H&R setup, and I had to assemble them myself.

well done!

Great read, the craziest thing about it is that you took the 299 from Redding out to the coast here in Humboldt. That road EATS cars.
