Just had a thought - I have an E36 M-tec II non airbag steering wheel up for grabs

Good if you want to maintain some sort of BMW comfort and lineage, but if your going the whole track slut style then I guess a "proper" race wheel will be better biggrin

Will keep you posted. Getting a quote for the wing and will then know if I'm keeping it or if I'm gonna just bin it for a few hundred and get another daily runner.

I'm doing the same thing with my 325i. Plenty more inspiration here:

Subscribed...let me know how you get on because I want to do the same thing with my 316ti.

...about that 1.6 litre. I'm basically ok with 100 hp, but I wouldn't mind a bit more *snap*. Are there any tried and true quick mods for this which would give me a bit better throttle response like removing baffles or intake silencers, quicker throttle body cams, performance chips or is the 316 pretty much ignored by enthusiasts?

I'd love some sound advice on E36 suspension parts, and what NOT to buy. Im looking at geting some coilovers, anti roll bars and polybushes for my 325i Coupe, but dont want to waste my money on cheap rubbish. I know the old adage "you gets what you pays for" applies, but budget is a factor so any advice would be welcome.
