Hey guys, my name is Nick and I have the privledge of owning an e30 318is. My car has been originally owned by my parents and has been babied its whole life and is brilantrot. I have 134K on the M42 and it is going strong. I am looking to get another e30 to turn into my track car/daily since the one I have now deserves to only see nice weather. I'm also very intersted in the metric mechanic m42 if anyone has any good or bad thoughts on it let me know. I'm located in Michigan if there are any other locals let me know.

The car has had a few modifications, I have a Dinan Chip, Dinan stage 1 suspension with koni adjustibles and dinan springs. I run a 17" BBS RX in the summer and hawk hp+, I also have a z3 1.9 lever, and stainless steel brake lines. I like to take the car to the track and if I keep driving it daily I will probably upgrade the sways and bushings. When it gets warm in the spring I plan on getting a cat back exhaust, let me know if there are any recomendations, at the moment I am thinking about getting a Dinan one just for continuity's sake.

I will post up some pictures of my ride tomorrow.

Purty. Cat-back exhaust - Either have a shop do up some tubing and go with a muffler in stainless steel or penny up for the supersprint and other variants. I am a advocate for the former over the latter suggestion.

Nice to see that more of you guys having fun with 318iS out there on the track :cool:

Thanks for the welcome guys, the car is in very very good shape (interior has no rips/tears) and has seen minimal winter usage its whole life.

Whoa. That stance is just about perfect. Dinan Stage 1 y'say? Any spring hats front or rear?

Nice ride! How heavy are the BBS's compared to stock? (including the tires)
