My 318is, i've had it for a year and so far have just gotten new tires and got a custom exhaust to replace the stock one that was falling off. It's got an aftermarket stereo, but it doesn't have a sub. i'm gonna add two 10" subs when summer hits.

Nearing the 1 year mark. I have too many mods, and none of them really added anything.

Suspension, chip, pretty, and some 3ur0 stuff. I forgot some things, but it's not like my car is worthwhile.

Your Ride: 1987 BMW 325 with a chevy V8
i have had my bmw for about 11 months now and this is what i am driving to school

it is a 1987 BMW 325
it has a 305ci small block chevy V8
with a turbo 200 transmission
stock rear end but i plan to change that
hey im only 16 years old, im short on cash
(because of gas prices)
the motor has crane cams, corvette headers
because they are small (it was kind of hard to
stuff a v8 into a bmw)
and B&M quicksilver shifter


This is what i am doing this summer

taking that v8 out and putting in a 327ci
sprint car motor in it instead
(When i get something called money)

currently drive a 325i Cab as seen in my signature.

Current mods:
M-Tech 2 Front Bumper.
M-Tech 2 Door Pods.
Rieger Side Skirts.
Reiger Rear Bumper.
M-Tech 2 Boot Spoiler.
Colour Coded Clear Side Repeaters.
17" Devil H109 Alloy Wheels wrapped in 205/40/17 Nankang Rubber.
Lowered 25mm using Avo Springs.
Twin DTM Scorpion Exhaust.
Crystal Clear Rear Lights.
Full Cream Leather Interior.
RGM Eyebrows.
Crystal Clear Angel Eyes Headlamps.
Original BMW Hardtop. (Now stored away for the summer!)

Future plans for this car is the 2.7 conversion, have a Lumma CL1 style front bumper to go on as well as a new clean bonnet to spary and fit. Considering changing the wheels to BK Racing Alpina replicas. My leather needs recolonising, but as the 2.7 and front bumper/bonnet are a priority at the moment in terms of money may have to leave the leathers till end of the year!
