Guest FLotraxx Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Before I forget my school English, I should join an international Forum. Now I'm here and I'm very sorry if I'm writing in American and British English Something about myself: My name is Flo, I am 19 years old and from Germany / lower Saxony. I got the " BMW-Virus " from my dad, The first time I was sitting in a car was in his 525i E34. And guess what, now I have my own bimmer -> In my town they call us " the BMW family" ... My sisters 1 series is missing. But the coupe is already my third car. Two months after I got my license, I sold my 1.4 Golf MK III and bought me a E36 318i touring for my 18 birthday. Unfortunately it was a piece of scrap and rust. I own this coupe since january 2013. It's a pre-facelift with the old M43 (118hp) engine. This engine is famous for his gasket / oil problems. But this little fella is completly dry Thats enough, let's switch to the bimmer My modifications Exterior new exhaust -> Remus/FSW Group A 330 steelies for the winter pastidipped some things other indicators and yellow fogs Interior new shift knob wrapped the ashtray cover etc. in carbon look -> now it matches to the aluminium black cube selfmade cupholder I saw the coupe and it was bought He had rust on tail plate and an ugly DTM-Style exhaust. My first mods: That's better The Remus / FSW Group A is *Kitty approved * My local „ green hell “ Seriously, I don't know how much money I wasted on washing etc. but damn this allways nice to watch So I just bought some BBS Edited May 12, 2015 by FLotraxx TOOM and Gaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie330d Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 This is nice! Right up until you put a shopping list down the back window ! Also what did you have to do to make parallels fit an e90? Rebel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLotraxx Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Thanks mates. I already prefer this forum more then the german forums I will put my dad's m parallels in a few weeks on my coupe just to look how it fits. That are the Styling 37 with E39 specs 8x18 et20(225/40) and 9x18 et24(255/35). They fit without bodywork on his stock E91 I think with a nice tyrestretch they should fit on my coupe too. Currently I'm watching for a nice pair of coilovers and I found out that the AP is the old KW V1 for around half the price Edited October 20, 2013 by FLotraxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently I'm watching for a nice pair of coilovers and I found out that the AP is the old KW V1 for around half the price I almost went for APs on mine but was told by several sources that they are very harsh. I went with the next step up, Weitec Hicon GTs and the ride is actually very decent and of a better build quality. Unless of course you want a much stiffer ride?

Guest FLotraxx Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) What offsets are your BBS wheels FLotraxx? Are they replicas? They are original BBS CH015 8,5x18 ET35 ----------------- The AP are stiffer that's right. The next cheaper and quit good coilovers would be the " DTS line " . A few years ago they were AP coils with different sticker. Today they are a bit different A friend of mine had AP coils and exchanged them for the DTS. They are a bit smoother and he told me he can go lower with the DTS .... Anyway I will buy this next year. My plan for the next mods is: repaint my 330 winter-steelis installing my other BMW radio with aux E36/Z4 Guide supports for a 8 - 10 mm drop in the front Edited October 20, 2013 by FLotraxx Rebel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
