its a lovely e36 318 is coupe but its not fast enough for me! i dont know much about tuning engines,but ive been told that i should use a performance induction kit, exhaust and cam shaft? any thoughts on this or any other advice much appreciated. if recommending any performance parts it would be great if you could give specific brand /part names

i wouldnt waste your money mate

that engine was never designed to be performance wise

youll fit your exhaust and induction kit itll sound faster so you think it is but it wont be much

youll end up dissapointed for the money spent

Agreed, its not really possible. If you had the 325 it would be another story though

I'd say consider an engine upgrade. My E36 is the 328 sport coupe, 200bhp, and has a narrow throttle body for restricting its breathing for germman taxation regs. Get a wider throttle body and i'm told 240bhp is possible.

by the way, have a look through the forums on www.e36coupe.co.uk for more info

What's the site coming to. OP has pram in avatar and chav mobile he wants to modify.

Wrong site chum, I'm afraid

Flog the Bmw and get on with the MK. I'll answer as much as I can then (not much as I don't have one though)

ATB

Some could ask what this site is coming to when certain members make sweeping judgements on others simply because of the car they drive
