[cptkirk85]

Got myself a 318 Ti Msport Compact and im lowering it 30mm and decating with a stainless exhaust thought a centre resanator to a straight through back box...im hoping its not to loud...

Its got the M44 engine and apart from what ive said above i dont know were to start..

Id start with the basics. Make sure everything running the car is solid. Since you got BMW, check for the Vanos rattle and if you got it, Id probably replace that. I always make sure my engine is in good running order first.

I always go in this order: engine, steering components, suspension system, exhaust system, exterior, then interior.

When i got my first BMW, I learned it isnt cheap to work on them. Im still earning money to work on mine. Good Luck

What did you want to do to it?

I started off with the same car as you and have done a large majority of the mods out there.
