Snowy

welcome to the club dude!

Sounds like fun and you're right about every little counts!

ill also add that from two previous projects over the last two years has left me with a nice pile of parts like a remus backbox, a few trs bits n bobs, a full discreet ice system, a very large pipercross cone made for Cosworths lol and a box load of js performance and sfs hoses.

Hey folks Im pretty new here so please bare with...

Im buying the car in April from my mate down the road, with him being so close I have the advantage of making a start on little things soon.

Anyway its a 318 ti, completely stock at the moment apart from carbon wrapped b pillars and door handles I originally did for him.

I like it so it will stayonce I get the keys.

ive just ordered the M3 steering wheel which will be retrimmed in black alcantara with white stitching.

I already have a ton of M bits in my sights including pedals, knobs, mats, basically the full interior :)

Externally I want to make her an M3 replica possibly with a touch of stance, depending on budget.

performance side of things probably wont change much, ill probablly just change the induction , exhaust and a remap.

So im pretty much going down the lines of a stanced M3 replica.

Ill get some pics up as and when.

For now any hints and tips to this bimmer virgin would be greatly appreciated :)

Hello BMWOC, My names Snowy aka Paul.

Im a 30 something driving a mk5 fiesta zs on L plates, Yes I know I left it rather late lol!

Anyway Im now on my 10th car & my 1st Bimmer as the fiesta needs to much work and to be honest im done with ford.

Both myself, my little sister, and my brothers have been petrol heads since a young age and the 4 of us have always loved

ze german motors!

my younger bro currently owns and drives a big spec'd Golf 4motion. His wife my 1st sister in law

drives a mk3 golf gti.

my older sibling has recently gone all french on us but had a lovely M3 and an M5.

my sister in law drives a Bora 1.9 tdi, her fella drives a Bora V5.

And my younger sister has a very pink r5 gt rep but has a thing for bimmers.

And now Im finally buying a 318ti from my besy mate in April when he gets a newer model!

So im a very happy chappy.

I am a seriel modder as my last two cars can vouch for, So as is my way, I already have a plan of action, I have a shed load of parts from previous projects and a

few goodies on the way too lol.

In short, There will be lashings of M-Spec goodies, All german parts ( as much as possible ) and staying OEM as much as I can.

Ill get some pics up asap....

Photos are up now, I'll get better ones of the E36 up when the weathers better lol. I've also included two pics of my fiesta just as a reference to my modding shenanigans lol.....

But for now Im off for a browze......

Google :)
