Beemer is an awesome daily drive but definitly like the nova the most!
Those marks in the inner arch are were the stitch welding on the seams around the turret has burnt through the factory seam sealer slightly so I just zinc primered them and seam seale back over them but my sealer wasn't as thick as factory stuff! The stitch welding was done as strengthening for when I run the rear coilovers because there will be no springs as they're all one on the coilover strut! I can confidently say there is no rust ;)Quote:

Yeah aussy you would have seen it in Rochdale dude!
Good to hear mate! :)
Just read from page one, my eyes hurt! lol
First off i was shocked to see this was the minter Dan had, and a little shocked at your plans, but after getting through to the last page it's come together to make a very nice mk1 project, i like most choices mate, but i still would have gone mk1 inside though, keep the updates coming.
PS: whats the beemer? DTi?
Thinking of one for a daily in the future you see.

Cheers Scott,I really wanted a clean shell and dans car was the perfect car for the job!
BMW is a 318ci m sport,if you get the chance to own one I would definitly do it as they are brilliant cars,diesels tend to be a lot dearer than the petrol coupes though an if it's done over 80 thou I would be checking to see if it's had a new turbo!

These cars hold there value really well too so if you can manage to get one at a reasonable price then you shouldn't stand to lose too much money,awesome car though IMO ;)
Completely agree with the above! I had one a few years back now and loved that car. I had the 2ltr dti m sport and it was the 1st car I'd owned that I didn't feel the need to modify (except for the nasty diesel tailpipe). Cracking cars and great value for money now. Do they go through turbos then Andy? I might get one again too and thats handy to know!
Mine...

Yeah they are great cars,I looked into lowering mine etc but decided against it because I didn't want to do anything to compromise the ride quality so it's staying as is,also there must be a reason why you hardly see any modified ones!
Well I work at a BMW dealership in Rochdale and 3 series diesel engines are renowned for killing turbos after about eighty thou,usually lack of power and loud whistling noise etc etc,the new 3 series is even worse than the old one,but if that's been done they are great,if you do look at another pm me the details and I can get you warranty claim history etc etc ;)
btw lovely colour car in the above pics!
Cheers Andy, that would be helpfull. When they replace the turbo's then are they fitting better ones or same unit ie another 80k and itwill need replacing?
No worries!
Unfortunately they don't upgrade any of the components as far as I'm aware,they just replace the whole unit,what you usually find though is we don't get many back at such a high mileage as the value of the car doesn't deserve paying a main dealer to do the job sort of thing!
