1991 BMW 318i E36. spics n specs: Later model BMW rims, dunno wot model though, leather seats and door trim. average stezza you can pickup from Strathfield, was in it with the car. lowered on some pedders springs, aaaaaaaaand.. thats about it. standard 1.8L future mods, this n that: some 18" M3 rims preferably off a later model bmw. new DVD screen, some decent 6" on the shelf and splits on the front, willing to spend no LESS than 500-700 on each pair of speakers.. maybe import a 318i racing body kit from overseas or here, something with a bit of curves, not to JAPTASTIC though.. definately get a new muffler, maybe an exhaust from the catback, saw a 318 converted to M3 with a nice muffler on the back end, looked sharp so considering it. Getting some customised plates soon to. Brought her around 2 weeks back, and basicaly broke all the rules when buying a second hand car.. went at 10pm to look at a black car in the dark.. but it was worth it New oil in the motor and new filter, gbox got new oil, 4 brand new tyres from Motorsport wheels on south skippy highway in dandy, owners an old fam friend so got them for a fraction of the price wot else.. front ball joints were changed and fixed, car used to make a CLUNK noise when i broke.. and thats about it. runs a beaut!! and lmao, commodore is in isolation from the road until further notice.

For all the money you're spending to make a Fake M3, Why not just save some more cash and buy a real one? M-cars are in a totally different league to normal BMWs, its more than just stickers and badges.

Hope you got REALLY deep pockets but nice car mate A mate from work brought in a exotic car mag. Was basicly like Street Machine for rich people. Crazy *******s buying new lambos, M series, AMG, Porsche etc and spending massive ammounts on them. A body kit for a spider was $18,000. haha nice to see how the other half of society spend there time Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Man dont make it a fake m3, thats so gay. So u have a 318, u wanna put a steering wheel and gauge cluster and then put m3 badges on it. In hope of way? People thinking your 318 is truely an m3? When it will be blatently obvious that its not... Pretty bad idea!

If you want to make it 'look' like a real M3 go for your life, just dont put the ///M3 badge on it cause thats just disrespecting all the people who can actually afford a real M3.

ye boys after some long thinking today at work im not gona convert it to M3 with the badges it actualy would look crap, and a waste of cash i brought the car for 5300 beleive it or not. on inspection there was aLOT of problems. computer was in LIMP HOME MODE and it wouldnt let me passed 2500 revs, and the alternator was rooted, lights needed new globes, needed new motor oil gbox oil and 4 new tyres, interior was SHHMICK though i was impressed. its a BEAUTIFUL cruiser, taken it down chappel a few times and it does get the od stair, but other then that ive spent only good money on it atm, havnt done nothing ****y, but screw the M3 badges, im thinking of selling the VT for around 8ish, and maybe keep the beamer for a month or two, get rid of it for around 10, then look for a proper M3, maybe even a nice s14 or something. but ye forget the badges and conversion to m3, going to waste money on something thats loosing value anyway. but its getting a new stezza soon, very soon Quote: Originally Posted by NTONIO If you want to make it 'look' like a real M3 go for your life, just dont put the ///M3 badge on it cause thats just disrespecting all the people who can actually afford a real M3. ye well we all have ideas mate, sometimes even the worst. but as i said not going to make it a mockup. keeping it original Quote: Originally Posted by PSIWOG Hope you got REALLY deep pockets but nice car mate A mate from work brought in a exotic car mag.
