I've never tried to drift or slide the back end of my car out before.
If I lose control, I could damage my car/myself/somebody elses car/somebody else/etc.

Personally I dont think i'm experienced enought to be able to control my car properly if i did that, so why bother?

Skid-pans = somewhere to practice drifting.
Public road = as far from ^that^ as possible.


Anyway, that's my opinion. And whether I choose to or not.

Agreed tbh. theres a time and a place for these things and public roads aint it unless its like 2am

These are all mods for the 318is but they may work on the 316...

Big bore throttle body (BBTB) - Cheapest i've seen is £120 and exchange your standard TB.
K&N 57i kit straight down behind front bumper with heatshield - £56 and make your own heatshield.
Re-map - £200 at the Tinklers re-map day.
Exhaust system - £££
Cooper S supercharger - £££
Custom KO Performance Supercharger kit - £3500
Stripping un-necessary weight - free
Engine replacement - varies

Thats pretty much all you can do with a 4 pot BMW to make it quicker.
Easiest options are to improve the the air flow to the engine and the BBTB mod. You can do them together for under £200.

The 316 is only an 8v, whereas the 318's were 16v.
Best bet would be to get a 318ti Compact engine (16v) as that'll give you an extra 35bhp and shave 2 seconds off your 0-60 time.

Or better yet, just get a 325i or higher.

why would you bother with any of that, just by a real BM instead

this one will do just fine untill i get away from all this German crap and get a nice rs turbo
will look into the tb then a remap that should do untill i get an rs,
would prob just keep this as my daily anyway

Dont waste your money mate! put it towards the RS, i would be suprised if you see any more than 10hp IF that from a throttlebody and a remap and thats like £300 down the drain.

-sigh- you will never understand untill you do it, and if you dont enjoy it you dont have a soul. Im not asking you to do 20 laps of a roundabout in rush hour traffic, just a little tweak round a slow corner or something. Although it is more dangerous on an open diff than an lsd or a welder.

you maybe be right tiz, just save for the rs
