Spot on. There was one at Silverstone hanging out perfectly.

ProjectS14a · 03-10-2007, 19:07

excrement...there appears to be a fair few of them available so that broadens the spectrum as it were. thanks for your help mate, hopefully i'll be able to get the bloody car soon and crack on with this thread!!!

One of my mates dad has a e-30 320is. Its the "Italian m3" not widened fenders, just m-tech and 2,0l with 192 hp! Get one of them!!

But 318is is a good choice if you cant afford a 325..
One of my mates crashed and totalled a 318is a couple of years ago With me as a passenger. Car looked like a banana after but luckily we could walk away

ProjectS14a · 03-10-2007, 19:17

i think its either gonna be 325i or 318is e30....its almost definately gonna be an e30...although if i can get a cheap enough e36 i will probably be swayed!lol

there are 5 on the for sale section of e30zone recently 2 are minters and 3 are more tramp

They put out 136ph.
and calling it the baby M3 is simply wrong , cause it hasn´t got anything
in common with the M3 apart from the 16valves,

a 325i > 318is when you want to drift, maintenance is so easy, and part´s readily available.

ProjectS14a · 07-10-2007, 15:59

Got an opportunity to buy an E36 320i, 1992. How easy do you guys reckon this cheeky would drift?? Enough power for the weight? Sorry ive got so many damn questions ive never drifted anything not Jap. Euro-cool will do me over the winter season while i save for my monster next year. anyways back to the question...e30 320i?? yes...or no???

ftw? huh?

ProjectS14a · 07-10-2007, 17:19

god damn it this process it taking too god damn long. i need a budget drift car, less than £1000 preferably, doesnt have to be drift ready, just have potential. anyone know of any?

I drifted an e36 325 today (with m3 diff and some suspension bits). It wasn't a patch on the usability of my e30 318is. It was a bit more powerful but high revving 318is engine feels so much better and more responsive. I was considering an e36 325 but not that bothered anymore. I honestly think the e30 318is drives much better. The e36 felt a lot heavier and more cubersome, the e30 makes up for the loss of power with a much lighter and more usable drive. I'd like to try an e30 325?

ChizFab · 07-10-2007, 19:30

the e36 325 is far superior to a 318is if u ask me.

i had a 525 touring with a welder it was fun, e34 shaped 525 or 535 are the tits!

e36 325
e30 325
e34 525/535

id aim for them mate, and you can pick up 325i's with cloth and no options for around £500 notes. same with 525/535's too.

get the local paper out (ad trader type thingy) and go shoppin!!

ProjectS14a · 07-10-2007, 19:48

seriously im trying but there's nothing within 100miles of me remotely cheap!!lol.HELP!!!seriously....serve me cheap beemers!!!!

ChizFab · 12-10-2007, 15:36
