Finally got my 318is.  It's a 91 with 165,xxx miles. The car is in great shape, but does need a new water pump. Any feed back would be appreciated.

By the way the pics aren't the best and the car is dirty. No worries, better pics and a clean car are coming.

.

So far:                                  
                                                       
- New Yoka Avid H4S tires                    
- Lucas oil diff fluid (75w-90)                  
- Changed power steering fluid              
- New emblems
- Drop in K&N panel air filter                  
- New hood padding
- New brake hoses and fluid flush

Future:

- New tie rods
- Bilstein heavy duty shocks
- 15in baskets
- Redline trans fluid



Im addicted already, but trying my best to keep the car stock.

Edit: Yeah right^^^^

Wow, now that's a thread from the dead!!!

Just kidding, welcome back.  What wheels are those?  They look great, as does the rest of the car.

Yes, i've been a busy boy. The wheels are Ronal LS. I've put on HR race springs with billy sports along with e90 drop hats. Love the way it sits. Replaced most if the suspension rubber bits as well. Will post pics of interior tomorrow, new bits there too. I've scored a nice 325is for my daily so I can keep this project going. And yes it still has the m42...

That's dropped nicely.  What's an e90 drop hat?  Rear or front upper bearing?

Sorry it's the upper spring plate from an e90. It's a direct fit and drops the front about 10mm compared to the stock spring plate.

Wow, that car is clean!
No signs of rust anywhere! is the interior and engine compartment just as nice?

Not a spec of rust anywhere. I keep it in the garage and it never sees snow.

The interior is very clean as well, I just added and M tech 2 steering wheel and a ZHP knob which I love. I'll get some interior shots up soon.

Thanks man. Haven't done much with it recently, been too busy with work and such. The car has come a ways but I was lucky and had a clean shell to start with.
