yo.
been looking through peoples builds on here for a few months now, a few uk builds and i thought to myself i might aswell start mine on here.
little bit of the spec, this is how i got it
1994 318is with M50TUB25 Engine conversion(vanos)
Ta Technix Coils
M3 Front bumper
M3 rear diffuser
Mtec Sideskirts
Has Black leather, Trip computer, Mpg, temp, timer ...blah blah
cut the back box off and then welded a straight pipe to replace...let the 6 cylinders sing! and a lovely sound she makes
few little rusty spots on the car but cant really complain for a 19 year old rig, ill decide wether to get a paint job later on the year or look for a tidier shell.
it had 16" Msport alloys on....they soon went and got replaced with some AC Schintzer Type 3 17x8.5 ET43 all round with 23mm spacers front, 25mm on the rears

Wanted it lower but didnt have the money for Quality coils
so bought some camber adjusters for the front struts and the difference is amazing

Fronts 20.8-9" Arch to floor

Ran the Schnitzers for a few months then wanted something different....
Purchased some wheels which did belonged to a user on this forum and they were on a 36 which he owned aswell

Mexican's RS
17x8.5 Fronts
17x10 Rears
over the moon for them, did a trial fit for adaptors to be made up, needed to gather specs on how wide the adaptors need to be.
got them made and tyres fitted on running 205/40 up Fronts and Rears.

205's up front were to big and chunky, it was stopping me from getting the fitment i wanted from the wheels, so 2 195/40 Falken's were ordered, fitted them when they arrived and fiddled about with the height and camber... the result

i got nice rusty arches
Slowly lowered more bit by bit when the underneath of the car wore away slowly haha
then went to "Players Classic" last weekend which was awesome at "Goodwood", got a few snaps shot by other people from the show, turned out very well!
