Just bought a 318ti, first car, what should I expect and improve?

>>17334421

you should kill yourself for thinking that BMW's motorised washing machine is relevant on this board.

>>17334421
expect nothing, improve literally anything; shit buy a real bmw.
no poor choice.

i love bmw compacts

nice job op

get it some lowering shocks and track the bitch.

Do the compacts suffer from the same rear subframe cracking as other E46s?
If yes, add a chassis bracing kit.

>buying the smallest engine
sucks to be a eurocuck.

The 316ti was the smallest engine, not the 318ti.

>>17335696
Well the 330 is the only one worth owning. should've just bought a twingo.

>>17335699
The only E46 Compact with a straight 6 was the 325ti.
It's also lighter than a regular E46 and has a quicker steering rack, so there are some positives to the Compact.
I personally happen to like the bugeyes, but that's a matter of personal taste.

>compact
those are the laughing stock of BMWs

i personally hate compacts but as for mods.
thumb rule for BMW's is handling and braking first.

>>17334421
>what should I expect

large maintenance bills

not the person you replied to but

>he's never heard of Lemons Racing

whew lad

That being sad plenty of people track shitboxes like the 318ti

although I have never seen someone track an E46 318ti

plenty of people track E36 318ti's since they are older/cheaper.
