   Joking aside mate..
Have you thought about really going to town on the suspension and tyres?
Personally i'd have thought that the 318's handle really well anyway, but with the cash you could spend on the engine you could improve the handling. I've got a 528 and its blown away around the corners by a 320 i play with on the way to work. I can over take ( and then some) on the straights but around the corners it's on me tail.
Just an idea.
Good luck dude!!

	Autos are easy. Its the steering thats hard.

	Ah speed is one thing. Economy is another. You can sit back and enjoy the 30+ mpg. I'll get my flat cap and driving gloves...you can borrow them if ya like!

	hello...it is the stupid questions time again... I've resolved all my oil leak issues... now the car is just sweet... but i need to ask a question(s).. is it possible to make a 318iS quick enough to give a standard E30 325i run for its money..? maybe not beat it, but make the guy think...hahaha I'm not talking about Motorway speeds.. more like 0-60 times... I've seen a couple of 325i boys(racers) with big alloys and shte... and u can tell they've never seen a 318is... and they go up ur ass just cause it says 318 at the back and try and take u... but at the mo there is no point me racing yet... i know if we did race, the 325 would eat me up... so whats my options? preferably no turbo's... or nitrous... all normally aspirated upgrade details please... if it is possible.... I've had to race some 320i boys.. again with their BIG 17's -18's allows and shte.. but they had to be beaten... have to say though a 320i with fat exhaust sounds just as mean as a 325.... I have a standard 318iS.. with 14in BBS.. all original... 115000 on clock... I have to say the car flys... but how fast would it fly next to a 325i??? Edited by beema318is
