So 2014 started off with a very good customer of Super4 coming to visit with his E36 318i Touring for some minor jobs to keep it in good running order over the winter months. Its a low miler in Avus blue and we are slowly making it look more OEM Msport orientated whilst still very much keeping it a reliable and sensible daily driver. So far JOM coilovers and new top mounts all round have been fitted for a nice drop but still very usable, a full service has been carried out with GREEN performance panel air filter being installed to aid breathing and throttle response.

This time round the car in question came up for some maintenance work such as Thermostat, rocker cover gasket, boot dampers and brackets, Hella Aero wipers, wiper arms fixed, new badges etc. Here are some pics of when it first arrived in November for a service etc and some of it from January 2014



PLUG CHANGE : Out with the old and in with the new



AIR FILTER CHANGE : GREEN Performance panel filter installed



OIL FILTER & OIL CHANGE : New rubber O-rings fitted to filter housing





FUEL FILTER CHANGE :



TIME FOR A NEW ROCKER COVER GASKET : With it only slightly weeping it was making the timing chain cover look filthy so It was replaced and all dirt and oil cleaned up



Next on the list was a new thermostat as the old item was starting to fail causing the car to take an age to heat up, not good for fuel economy or performance.

OLD vs NEW :



HIDS installed :



JOM's INSTALL : The last job for now was to remove the old suspension and replace it with some JOM Blueline coilovers which shall offer just the right amount of low and still maintain everyday drivability and comfort. New top mounts all round were also fitted so as the job doesn't need to be done twice. This recommended when installing coilovers as they tend to accelerate the life of older items which then means it all has to come out again!!!.





JOM's BEFORE & AFTER :







All parts used are available to purchase from Super4 BMW, we carry service parts for most model BMW's.
