New Pics... opinions are needed...

[MD318is]

Sup...

I havent gotten new pics for a while, camera has been a piece

Anyway there are a bunch of new pics in my photo gallery that id like yall to look at and give me feedback on whats good/bad and what should come next.

My plans are to turbo it, put in a screen or two, and get some 6000k HIDs and make it a show car, since the paint is in unbelievable condition (and cuz i dont wanna drive it to school next year)

so here are a few of the pics from my gallery, the rest you can feel free to go to the gallery for!

Ask any questions you want, request more pics if theres something else you'd like to see, and give me any feedback you would

Thanks alot fellas

looks real sweeeeet..... but the tails r ok never did like clears.....now get some white alcantra suede do the shift boot... last but not least some new style mirrors ........

[Shadow1]

lookin good. the clear tails arent me but if you like them then good for you. then some ///M mirrors and then youll have a really clean show car.

amazing overall theme on the car! it's so clean, so white... the white sub, the white visor hanging from the rearview!

might i suggest that if you are planning to keep those wheels (and the design and size are great), you should polish them up so that they are nice and shiny... the matte finish makes them look dull and not stand out on a car that does stand out... i dunno if it's the pictures but they just look dull and a little out of place but only because of the finish.

hey the car looks awesome but i was wondering how much u get those angel eyes for... im really interested in buying those off u or u can refer me to a place where i can get them...

[MD318is]

thanks so far, ive ordered the white shift boot

um as for the wheels... are there such places that like powdercoating, can refinish wheels to a shiny silver (not chrome!)... and how much would it cost would you say?

angel eyes... www.eurospeedperformance.com
you have to do the LED conversion to make them stand out blue like mine and many others do, if you need more info about that please PM me

Whats up man, I met you at the univ md meet. Cars looking SICK dude.

One other mod you should do is a black out grill.. It looks sweet on white cars!

your car is sick leave it just the way it is. The night shots of the paint are nice, keep up the good work.

I'd say M3 motor...there is only so much power a 4banger can make, and the M3 motor would be more reliable. other than that, its almost perfect, i hate to say it, but the altezzas seem to fit. lose the BMW seat belt pads, and you're set! Great ride!

yeah there are places that specialize in refinishing wheels. they could repaint them a different color (for example, i got mine done since they were scratched from being dropped, so i went with the color Saab uses in the viggens). Some might also do hand-polishing, which looks amazing--i believe the paint is stripped off first, and then they are buffed for about a day each [sic] to a mirror-shine.

Needs more cowbell.

cowbell?

mirrors... for some reason im attached to the stock square mirrors... they fit the body style (boxy) of the rest of the car.

by the time i find a m3 motor/tranny and put it in I feel like im going to have spent so much money and the problems are going to be endless... none the less it would amazing. The Korman turbo kit runs very low boost, which would be perfect becuase i almost just want the turbo for two reasons... 1. to be able to say its a turbo 318is, that seems kinda rare to me... and 2. to have a larger variety of mods, when you turbo a whole new realm of mods opens up (bigger intercooler, BOV, ingectors, boost control, wastegate, ect...)
When it all comes down to it, I dont have a huge interest in being able to beat everything on the road, i just wanna be a little quicker and be able to flex harder than i already do

ps... if you can tell me where to look for a motor/tranny then im always open to ideas

watch the wrecking yards where you live for wrecked M3s. the best way to do it seems to be to buy an insurance write off, then swap everything out of it, and sell what you can. I know a guy on BF.C who got a 95 M3 with perfect interior and drivetrain for 4k, then swapped everything into his 325is, and sold all his stock parts. If you do go turbo, get forged internals, cause ill tell you this : boost is VERY addictive, and you're gonna wanna run lots

looks really clean...maybe some bigger rims..the kit makes the body look bigger...lower im sure. I love the rims you got on now, but just bigger would be nice...keep it up!
