318is Daily e36

[Mr Gusta]

Hey guys I'm on other forums but I love low cars so I guess this is the place to be

here's my first car had it since 2008

1996 318is automatic 160k on the clock when I first picked her up she was stock I quickly got to work and a few months later this was it





30k later I swapped the engine to an m54b30 from a 2001 330, also installed a zf 5speed from an e36 m3 and an oem exhaust from an e46 m3 (had to chop the spare tire well)



changed a few things here and there but my favorite change was the exhaust...
when I fitted the stock exhaust it was so quiet that I couldn't tell if the car was on but then!



I chopped out the cats and left the oem resonators in and fitted a top speed rear section

here's 2 clips of the exhuast

Do you still have the 4.44 diff in it? If so, that is some CRAZY gearing! Stump puller, no doubt.
Sorry, gearing interests me. Haha

Looking good, too! Paint the black stuff body color and it'd top it off.

Haha actually I had the 4.44 in it until I destroyed the teeth inside on a hard 2-3 shift

have a 2.93 in there now and for what it is she is still a stump puller

Great looking car and a very nice engine you put in. I haven't seen that done before.

What's the name of the wheels you are currently running? They are awesome.
