I originally bought the car for my wife for her to use in the winter back in October, as her specific was: "drives like an E30 but with working heat and snow tires", so I found a 96 with M-package, we never got the clubsport here in Canada, but instead you can option M-package which includes LSD and bodykit.
The car came freshly rebuilt head from someone we know, an extremely loud exhaust and a full stereo system, and surprisingly lack of rust for a Canadian car.
Since the purchase I've done mostly maintenance work on the car and make it more reliable and less obnoxious with the exhaust, with all those out of the way, I can finally start to fulfill my addiction on modifying, with 3 other cars that I constantly work on, this one will be very minor compare to them.
So far I've bought:
- 328i front brakes, all Canadian 318Ti came with solid discs up front.
- BC Racing coils
Still need:
- M3 front bumper (it was missing from PO)
- M3 mirrors
- 3 spoke steering wheel
- wheels?
The goal is make this a nice and reliable winter car, and ocassional summer track duty.
How it is before the snow fall with minor detailing job done:
