318i Modifications

Simpson196 · 02-19-2016, 04:26 AM

Hi all,

Im new to the Forum and only had a BMW for about 6 months now, I went for the 2010 318i Sport Business Edition as i wanted a sat nav and 318 was the only beemer that insurance would allow

Keeping in mind that I am new to this and havent ever modified a car, can anyone let me know what I should do to my car to make it look clean but not chavvy, I dont really have a clue what I could do to it.

Welcome and congrats on the new ride! If you post a pic of your car, it will be easier to see what mods would suit your car the best.

G-d damn, my lawnmower has more HP than that. My grandmother could accelerate faster than that in her wheelchair using one arm.

Welcome. I didn't know the 318 existed. Thank you for teaching me something

My 318i had 130 BHP and i tried to go higher and get the 320 m sport, the insurance was like 6k with black box and the coupe version for the 325 and 320 had the insurance rejected, so i had to go with this, unfortunately i have recently had my car stolen and torched so any modifications at this point are pretty moot,

Cheers for commenting anyway

Someone tried to steal mine 2 months ago.. He tried to saw the dooe handle open but in his haste sawed the door

I had to get the Whole door replaced, But my Insurance paid everything except 150€.... But i had to spend 800€ more for an aftermarket Alarm..

Damn these thieves..

UK insurance is a cowboy market and a rip off. They beat you anyway they can.
