  Greetings from the Philippines!
This is my 316i e36, manual transmission which i plan to get the power up to 200bhp plus it's lighter than it's 6 cylinder siblings.
I got her brand new in 1997 and she is over 10 years old now, the transformation from stock to now is so amazing. Seems weird for many to go all out for a 316i but i'm doing this for exclusivity and this will be a sleeper. I went a little crazy with the audio setup (for sound quality only) and now i have to focus on performance. A turbo or supercharger is in order when i get the money. Thanks for checking out my page. Please rate my car.

also got some H&R Trak+ spacers (sorry no pics yet of my new stance) 10mm rear and 5mm front

Some dumbass hit my parked car and my fog light popped out and tore part of my bumper. The clips are now broken so i decided to put a mesh instead which i cut and shaped myself. I like the look, makes the it look cleaner.

this car won't get an engine swap since this is project 316i, it has great fuel economy and i there's a 993 i can use if i'm looking for power

Custom built carbon fiber hood:

it gives it a tuner look but i will have it painted back to Boston green when i get tired of this and the main purpose was weight reduction.

Actually, it's the states that has stricter emissions than we do in Canada. Canada is much more strict when it comes to crash test ratings. One last question for you. Do you import your parts or buy them locally in the Philippines? I'll be there in December and want to see if I can get some parts/accessories for my car.
