Have you re badged your boot with a "320ci" by any chance? Wasn't it a "318ci" originally?

Yeah but no they sell both models in the state. Maybe the 18" rims that it is sitting high.

Hi Mick.fr,

Well spotted, Car was badged 320 when I bought it. Havent done anything myself with it bar put petrol into it. I think the previous owner had requested it when spec' ing the car from BMW. Don't worry, I did'nt buy it in the shop that sells the M Badges;)

So a few more of my baby, pretty crappy pics though, night time does not help.
Will make new ones when we will have a little bit of SHINE in the country lol.

Hi Mickfr,

What is your 325 sitting so high when compared to other motors ??
Have you adjusted the shocks??

I noticed because your muffler has 1 tip only.
I suppose the previous owner wanted people to think it was a 320i because the engine is very close to a 2l anyway. Very common in Ireland apparently, although I find this ridiculous.

Don't know man lol, I haven't touched them.
But now you guys are pointing this this is right it sits pretty high, especially with 18" rims, should not have this kind of spacing.

Maybe the shocks got adjusted when it was still in Boston because of the snow by the previous owner, I don't know.

The rims are Alpina, I initially stated they were BBS but corrected myself immediately.

True but more hassle for me to take it off and replace, not sure what BMW charge for them.

It really does look like an M3 Evo from the outside though, even down to the wheels! I couldn't see the interior clearly enough to be sure if it was which is why I gave myself wriggle room and said I wanted to see the interior to be absolutely sure:p!

I knew the E30 wasn't an M3, the steering wheel is on the wrong side for one of those!(and besides that I remembered you saying you had a 318is E30)

The 318Ci is a 2.0 litre(from 01 on), and the 320Ci is a 2.2 litre. Before 01 the 318Ci was a 1.9.

Yep would get it checked, thanks.

I believe the M3 EVO had actually the front and rear sides larger, not like this one. Like the new E46, remember? Correct me if I am wrong.
This is a nicely installed body kit anyway, looks very clean.

God, it only when you see them all in a row you realise just how gay every BMW introduced since 1996 has been.

They sound quite different though given that one of them is down 2 cylinders!

Another giveaway is the wheels on my iS, they are M3 wheels but they are the ones that came on the saloon and not the coupe

Hu? Never had a M3 saloon? The first one ever is just coming out of the factory...
Unless I am wrong...
