Contemplating between an E36 318i, 320i, 325i or 328i

yup , 318 is not that bad ..been living with it for past 5 years &
still my daily drive .
just have to be humble at the traffic lights & let all the souped
up wiralutions , SLKs ( small little kancil ) go first....he he he he

use a 2.8/2.5 fuel pump and you'll never see those SLK's go first ...

Size of fuel pump can effect the pick up power? How arr?

more higer cc fp has got got higher suction rate thus ease the pick up due to more fuel is being burned out ...the 4 potter fuel pump has got low suction rate OR i would say limited band for fuel saving purposes and that is why some of the 4 potter aren't able to keep up to 200KM/h ..

my m40 use to hit 210 ish ....

a secret i'm sharing after a long time being driving an m40 myself ....

How is fuel consumption affected when using a 325/328 fuel pump? Very interesting :top:

Hi zaimhq

I'm currently looking to sell my E36 325i.
Its a rare M-sport version brought in by AB, with an ORIGINAL manual stick (with M-tech seats etc.)
The car is pretty tip-top with all wear & tears replaced.
Currently looking for an E90 or E46+bike & that's why I'm thinking of letting this go... =(

I'm not desperate, but kindly drop me a PM if you're interested.
The car is in gun metal, and has 190k on it.
Yr made '95 - with XXX 3251 plate.

Cheers,
J

My experience of driving the 318 E36 & 325 E30. Yes the power make a lot difference but the 318 is damn robust. So it basically depands on each and one's need.

Been driving a 318 M40 for 10 years and decided its time to upgrade it to 325i with a M52B25 engine. The result i will never wanna switch my ride for anything unless its a 328
