I had a diamond black 1997 Motorsport II or atleast i think I did...
The current owner (a friend of mine) thinks its just a 318is with a bodykit. The reason he thinks this is because the BMW build sheet doesn't mention the motorsport.
But anyway I looked simply stunning in black, I fell in love with it when I saw it in the show room and I had her for 7 years and loved the handling and teh balance. The engine on the 318is is very light and sits almost completely behind the front wheels meaning that it handles really well. I used to race turbo'd corsas with it and down a straight around a circle and black again I could hold my own!! Just floot it around teh circle and its like its on rails.
My second favourite is white...

Beuatiful Condition!!! I have a '97 318is Auto, Standard Model, not the Motorsport, But I would have loved to have had mine as a motorsport edition. Its just such a cool car to look at. The poise, Stance and the lines, makes you want to drive!! I just wish I could get someone to help me get a little more power out of my car, 'cos being a auto it is a bit sluggish. Any help or suggestions will do. I just love my car,my red E36 318is, but I want a bit more oomph!!! Cheers!!:clap:

A shark fin aerial another 5Kw and an M3 badge will take you to 325vHp (virtual HP):bs:
I looked at getting some more out of the engine unfortunately it seems its not a popular motor with tuners and the general response I got from equiries about increase in power was: Buy a 325i... so I though screw you and bought the M coupe:thumbsup:
anyway its the same motor as used in the z3 1.8 so there is a super charger for it... only about R50,000 uninstalled but its low pressure so its a bolt on kit. I am pathalogically against turbos so did not even look that way.
I don't even think it has a cat that you can cut out.

Hey fanatics,
done some more "upgrades" to my car
Fitted the M3 front spoiler lip, IMO i think it makes any E36 look a kazillion times more sexy hey :
Now i am so desperate to get my hands on the splitters, just cant find them for cheap :banghead:
Then i added the last touch :thumbsup:
I guess my next "upgrade" might be to blacken my grille - still not sure if i should change the original look - what do ya'll think?

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.
:cursin:I am jealous! I also have a 1993 E36 Ice white but the 316 automatic. Yours is in a perfect condition and looking excellant. Time to go and polish mine!
