1998 E36 318iS ///Motorsport

[///Motorsport KoP]

So i've FINALLY managed to get around posting some pix since i have my new baby.

98 E36 318iS Motorsport.. I have her for 1 month now and im loving it!!!!:excited::excited::excited::excited:

Here are some specs for those that do not know :

318is 1,895 cc (1.895 L; 115.6 cu in) 4cyl DOHC 16V Petrol 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) @6000 rpm 180 N·m (130 lb·ft) @4300 rpm M44B19 10.2 213 km/h (132 mph) 1996–1998

and some pix

For now, the next step is to just shadowline my grille and to fit a M3 lip...Some angel eyes would be awsome too...Tint the windows a bit....And also i wana line up the bumpers 100%...and im missing x1 centre wheel cap - if anybody has one, please shout

Let me know what you guys think.

Dart Motors doesnt sell neat neat vehicles and quite a few of them are code 3's.

The first 318i Motorsport was launched in 1995 in limited numbers. That model had leather/ cloth combination seats, with the big double wing on the boot. Car was riding on 17" Stealth-lookalike rims. Basically a 318i, but with the M front bumper and rear diffuser, 17" wheels, and slightly lower and stiffer suspension.

In 1996/7 they changed it to the Motorsport 2, after the launch of the 318is. This car had leather upholstery and different 17" rims. Again in limited numbers.

The Motorsport cars were built to commemorate the success of these racecars in that season. I think BP was the main sponsor. I have a scale model at home that we received with our car back in 1995.

Not all of them had the M44 engine series too i think, had a M42 & M43 i thinks...
