Sorry vwt3 I forgot to mention I use the KMACs with the E30 M3. But yes it's lowered with H&R Sport springs and Bilstein sport shocks. 225/45/16 tires. The camber was slightly more negative after...

Yeah the Ti has the same rear suspension as the E30, and the Z3 as well.

I use those KMACs and they work just fine for me. Lots of track usage, solo 1, solo 2, bmw schools, etc.

I think it's more likely one of the other items. Could also be a clutch pilot bearing.

That's not to say that the clutch is good, only that it's probably not causing this particular problem. It...

I believe (confirm it to be sure) it was common to the 318's so there should be a few around. Likewise spare internals might be fairly easy to come by; then it's just a matter of finding a tranny...

I just put them on the ti for a day since they were meant for the 88 M3. The AR1's have a 225/45/16 Toyo T1-S and the original ti size is a tall aspect ratio (60 if i recall correctly?) 15. That...

I have a set of 16" AR1's that I put on the 318ti and they look pretty sexy. Don't have a picture, but they're a good looking BBS style wheel for not much $$.

Also, no spacers needed.

Hans Stuck is one of the giants. :) I would say somewhere in the 165-170mph range is where he topped out around Tiergarten.

AutoM3otives, I totally agree... the ti is a fantastic complement to the E30 M3, for exactly the same reasons you said.

Wow, guys, I'm impressed! There's a lot of good taste on the board.

Yeah there is no adjustment for rear suspension per se (the ti uses the E30 rear suspension, like the Z3). A 4 wheel alignment is really only checking your rear. Aftermarket kits replace your 4...

I doubt it. A quick check of Bavarian Autosport (www.bavauto.com) for both a 1991 318is and a 1997 318ti show non-duplication of rear strut braces. Thus I don't think you're in luck. Check the...
