Just thought I'd introduce myself here and let everyone know a little bit about me. I've got an Alaska Blue 1996 318ti. Unfortunately, until I save up some more money it's completely stock except for a K&N filter. I'm also really into photography, so I'll try to post some good pictures when I decide to stop being lazy. Anyways, I guess I've got a question also. What would you recommend as a (relatively inexpensive) first mod for a 318. I was thinking of a Remus exhaust, but does anybody else have any good ideas? | | | 06-15-2006, 03:53 AM | #2 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | welcome joe! what kind of mods are you interested in (handling, cosmetic, etc)? also, what do you consider relatively inexpensive? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 06-15-2006, 04:27 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 | welcome....as cali said...elaborate a bit more on what you are looking for in mods __________________ 1995 318ti Active Pioneer Speakers [] Aluminum Billet door locks [] ACS Pedals/Deadrest [] ACS Shift Knob / E-Brake Handle [] Clear Corners/Tails/Sides [] Sylvania Exterior Lighting [] Custom CAI [] Dinan Engine Chip [] Dinan Transmission Chip [] H&R Race Springs [] Tokico Illumina Shocks [] BMW X-Brace [] Relocated Lighter Mod [] Custom iPod Mod http://www.cardomain.com/id/robcarync | | | 06-18-2006, 12:05 AM | #4 | Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Muncie, IN Posts: 51 | Mostly performance. Probably the only thing cosmetic that I'll change will be wheels. BUT, I need the car to still be reliable, and a turbo/supercharger kit is probably out of my price range. Feeding the family is #1, the car is #2.... most days | | | 06-18-2006, 12:07 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Muncie, IN Posts: 51 | oh sorry, by relatively inexpensive I mean around $500, but I'm flexible. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
