Project Super-budget 1998 BMW 318Ti

Slow progress is still progress right?

And what is this?!?

Flexibility, that's what! Thanks to Giant Purple Snorklewacker and bluej. I still have plenty in the budget for the challenge, but almost zero time. Not sure about this year...

You might think about hitting the floors with a couple coats of roll on truck bed coating. It has a nice rubbery surface and will keep rust down. Its good to give it a long curing time before use if you go this route though.

Oh and if you get a big can you can touch up exterior trim pieces wipers arms and a million other little things

Excellent write up on your work, everything looks great. I do however wonder how you alleviated the clearance issue of the belt/tensioner with the ps delete you installed. I've searched everywhere and you're the only ti owner so far that has done this on the 4cyl with the Condor plate. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am new here so I am starting to get familiar with this site. I do have a 1998 BMW 318ti . I am getting crazy trying to find the cabin air filter (microfilter) in order to improve the AC performance. Can somebody help me where is this located?

I was also confused with an air filter which is next to the radiator. Is this the AC air filter or is this a different filter?

In reply to Cuda:

That's a main Grounding terminal for many of the vehicle's electronics and such. If something needs to be grounded than It goes there which in turn bolts to the body. Ground wires in BMW's are generally brown or brown with a colored stripe.
