another newbie with ?'s

[robson318]

hi guys my names paul i couldnt stretch to anything more than a 318i so dont know whther i should be on here really but anyway the car is a 99 saloon and im just wondering what if any parts from updated models can be fitted i.e bumpers as im not keen on the one i have with the rectangle foglights any info on kits and such would be helpful

[yavz]

Welcome to the forum Mate,

There are many 318i members here as well as much more powerful cars so your in the right place.
If your car is an E46 then yes you can fit the kit from the later models, its called the m-tech 2 kit. Search the forum, im sure there are lots of pics floating about. if not put up a request.

Welcome paul. Doesnt matter if its a 318. One of the best cars on here is a 318 vert. Your welcome whatever car you drive.

Have you got any more details on your car though, year etc?

Sorry just noticed its a 99 saloon. As yavz said theres loads of newer parts that will fit your car.

Don't apologise for having a 318 saloon :) all are welcome here.

Look up member Afif. He has a red saloon to which he's done a crazy ICE install and body mods.

Check out stock323isaloon for exterior and interior styling, same with Raj and Huzi amongst others. ure in good company :)

Welcome, As the guys said a 318 is a great car!

Enjoy the modding! :-)

[Raj]

Welcome aboard. Engine capacity doesn't mean anything here. You've still got a decent base car to mod so it's all good. As has been said there is plenty out there and you can use the newer models bits to transform your ride. The sport kit can be had as the first replacement as it will completely transform the exterior. The likes of ebay, or essential bmw for second hand kits, or Teddy and Roy may be able to supply new. M Style is another I do recommend if Teddy or Roy can't help as they do the sport kit supplied or painted and fitted.

You'll get plenty of ideas here after doing the kit so just ask...:cool:

[Nickleback]

Hi & welcome aboard
It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it :p
There are loads of great mods for your car so the only thing to limit you is your wallet probably which will get a good bashing !!:rolleyes:
Let's see some pics!

[Afif]

Welcome aboard and like some others said nothing wrong with saloons ;) (xcept theres always something wrong/broke with mine :rolleyes). Still im glad to have it... and yes if you get a sport bumper from a saloon its a straight swap.

[InvIs Inc]

welcome :)

[robson318]

well thanks for the welcome guys i will try to get some pics up of her the previous owner did a couple of mods to outside like fake m3 side vents which he totally fukd up so will be replacing these and he fitted clear lexus lights which im not to keen on so for now have tinted the bottom half red till i get some later spec lights.myself i have only done 1 or 2 mods like dvd headunit which ive coupled to some headrest screens and changed all repeaters to silver bulbs and fitted superbrite headlight bulbs

[RDG 40]

i again am a 318er dont be ashamed at all

Welcome

[peppernick]

Welcome! :)

It's a huge task to convert your pre-facelift to a later face-lift model with the upswept indicators. You need to change the front wings and bonnet, plus source a pair of new front lamps and indicators. It's possible but not cheap.

Alternatively, you can work on other aspects of your car and still create a stunner :)

[robson318]

peppernick that is the look i want to achieve is that a m3 replica bumper?

[peppernick]

That car sports an OEM M3 bumper wit OEM ACS lip spoiler. However, you can get almost exact replicas now from Teddy at SSDD Motorsport. PM MysticM3

Nothing wrong with 318's im on my second one know and my old one was a cuppe which i put all he m tech kit on and it was a straight swap!!!

and as said before one the most modfied and respcted cars on the forum is a black 318 vert sadly its not my one lol

Enjoy your stay and im sure the forum sponsors will take care of you for parts etc etc

[Shuriken]

Hey, nothing wrong with a 318, I've got an E36 316 (and poverty spec at that) and I haven't be kicked out yet! :p

Welcome to the forum, I looked forward to the pics and the day you lose the lexus lights. :D
