Title: And so the madness starts...
Post by: Lord Jax on April 04, 2007, 12:29:06 PM

So I picked up my 318is for $1500 with some quirks like dents, broken sunroof, non-working gauges (temp and oil), bad thermostat, etc...

She also missing her basketweaves, fog/inlets, and had the wrong lip wood-screwed on.

But I have started my mission to bring her up to par...

Fixed the passenger seat, pulled off the horrible lip replacenment, and the new low temp thermostat is on the way. After I have her running cool I will have her completely flushed of all the fluids and have them all replaced along with a tune up.

I was going to follow this article to get her some more power http://r3vlimited.com/Tech/318is.htm

Anyone else have suggestions for power that are non-Fi?

Oh here's a pic of Lola

What'd the previous owner do to the high beams?
