Just a quick pic of my stock 91 318is. Talk about body roll!

Nice-looking car. SCCA? What class do you run in?

Looks like you're scaring the crap out of those cones by the passenger door ...

thanks guys...

yes STBR SCCA TX Region

Runs in G Stock I think, took it out there just for fun.

Its bone stock all the way around. It wasnt much fun with the blown suspension but I'm slowly getting replacing items.

I'm doing front lower control arms with new bushings and ball joints next.

H&R race springs...cheap enough and good enough to improve your autoX experience. And still very livable as a daily.

Curious about your classing. When I first looked there seemed to be 2 missing cars from the classifications in SCCA rules and the 318is was one of them. I think in all my searching and questions I ended up in DSP.

318is (1991) with M42 is in G-stock. Modifications may bump the car into STX or DSP. Note that in DSP definitions this car is described as "3 series (16V, NOC)" NOC means Not Otherwise Classified, or in other words, if you don't find your car in any other subclass of SP.
