Hi Peeps!

Well where do I start?! Owned a flurry of 'projects' since I've been driving! My old 318iS Avus Blue was the major love affair! Owned her 16 months, did 8k in that time and the car wanted for nothing. Probably the funnest car I've ever driven!

When I sold that in March 2008, I had a short stint in my folks 325i Sport E46

which was nice and after that a 318CI Sport until June 2009

Looks awesome mate, love the steering wheel, did you get that done at a custom retrim place?

The E36 looks sweet too - any more pics of that?

Hi Shaan, cheers buddy! Yeah got a load of pictures on my 318iS on my photobucket library! You should be able to access it through the URL otherwise I'll PM you the link.

And the steering wheel was done through an ebay user. £100 exchange, he sends you the steering wheel all nice and tidy then you send yours back. Awsome workmanship! :D

I'd 2nd that, lovely 318is mate, the 330's looking gorgeous,very nice mods. Maybe some angel eyes next and also some subtle clubsport splitters...?

Looking very clean and tidy.

Gotta say, hate the spoiler. Why not go for an M3 lip spoiler or the clubsport one if you want something more defined?

Otherwise I like it alot!

12-01-2010, 12:35 PM
LOL Mega..it is a clubsport spoiler! :)

LMAO @ Dave... Looking Good! nice to see consistency with the wheels. Are they the same set throughout? Original ACS?

Jag Sahota
12-01-2010, 01:08 PM
Cheers pal! The ones on my 318iS Were Replicas which I sold seperately after I sold the car.

On my 318Ci, they were advertised as Gens but when I got down there they were replicas. Travelled 200 miles for them so came back with them at a lower price then advertised but the ones on my 330CI are Genuine thank god! :D I think I have a schnitzer fettish..you would never know! ;)

12-01-2010, 01:12 PM
LMAO. Sorry. Brain. Numb. Work. Argh.

I was thinking of the E36 sport style spoiler. Just wrote clubsport cause I'd seen it in your post... I guess...

Anyway I still think just a lip would be better :) But opinions are like arseholes and all that...

Jag Sahota
12-01-2010, 01:22 PM
Yeah no worries Mega..It's always been a mod I wanted to do but due to the mass hatred surrounding them, I didn't bother. However, when one comes up in the same colour at a refusable price..do you say no? lol

Contemplated keeping both the lip and the spoiler on!

Wow what a collection of cars Jag! You should be very proud of your hardwork. Hope you can get some 318is photos up. I want a ACS theme to mine. I have a key ring so far :(

Keep it up! :D

Nice car mate :)

They look lovely in standard form, but when coupled with a few subtle mods looks even better

Lookign good Jag, very clean example, I like the rear spoler sets it off from the rest of the crowd imo.

How will the wheels look when you add the 10mm spacers and the lowering springs, how low going?

Raj

Stunning. Liking the look of that a lot. Looks the way Russ's (RDG 40) did before he sold it.

Clubsport spoliers are nice but I still do prefer the more understated lip spoiler. The car though is looking awsome, look forward to more mods.

Very nice mods dude, love the wheels look very tidy. Not feeling the spoiler personally but everyone is different, i've got the CSL fettish :p

Check out Dicky's car (think user name is on here is ACS 666) think he has the same fettish as you mate

All your previous cars are top draw also, nice work!

Got my self a lovely AC Schnitzer backbox which truely sounds the nuts! Love it! Genuine Schnitzer..not just the tip before anyone says so! ;)

Picked it up off ebay after I contacted the seller and offered him more then it went and when the highest bidder went AWOL..bagged it for less! :D Result and an bday present to myself! 23 on Saturday :D woop!

Now..

First impressions... B)

Fitment isn't spot on due to an exhaust hanger needing adjusting but who cares for now..just loving that metallic exhaust noise! :) PICS & VIDEOS..

Was looking on CA Automotive site for the Eisenmann centre sections or soundpipe but I have no idea what they do or how they will increase the sound of my car, anyone care to shed any ideas?

Cheers all :)

Cheers for the comments dudes! Yeah Raj..was a hard choice really..could have got a custom exhaust fitted but when it came up, it was a no brainer..goes with the rest of the cars Schnitzer ting! LOL. Congrats on the M5 btw bro.

Yeah the steering wheel was from a dude in OXFORD so I'll dig it up for you lot. It's on ebay at the moment but cant find the add! So much for the steering being UNIQUE! ;) Workmanship is awesome, can't fault it. Steal of a price too!
