4 cylinders or 6 cylinders?

Ah yes. The 240sx of Europe, the E36 318i ,including the drift tax est. 2016!

Bought a 1998 318i for $750, all it needed was a ews module and a tune up, seals, runs like a charm 👍.

Had my 318is done in Portugal by him, excellent and honest men, excellent friend as well! I still love 18is, thanks to this guy Cheers mate

i got a 2.5 6pot converted compact of bruno and lets just say juan took me for a test drive was errrrm interesting! all the guys at bds are such a nice helpful bunch of guys!

Nice to see this pretty unique build. A nice 318 turbo sounds like tons of fun.

That gnarly cam sound. And that Portuguese accent , noice ahah

What a legend, knows what he is talking about!

That accent doesn't lie... 🇵🇹 in the house... excelente trabalho bruno and great video ML 😁

Can see my house at 2:24 oi oi, heard this going past!

Updated 1.95L engined of the last of the E36 318is coupes has similar power to 320i coupe BUT you usually get more torque in a 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder per litre (more bang or less mechanical friction of extra cyylinders) so depends if you want refinement of 6 cylinder vs slightly better torque curve=acceleration. I have a 1998 318is, had it since 2003, might give it a full cosmetic restoration

I have a m44 4 cylinder 1.9 ltre and i love it!..i love the way these motors whine out they sound great and have plenty of torque!..a fun car to drive!

that car sounds sick love the sound of a na 4 banger

Love it 👌🏻 yes I'm running a 6pot because it's the cheaper bang for buck but I love a 4pot! Learnt so much in my 318ti and I wish I'd kept to it longer before going 6pot

This thing sounds bloody brutal! I'm going to start building my 318is Coupé in the near future to something like this!

Sweet music to my ears, a four banger with mods!

sounds really nice for an N/A 4 cylinder

Nice video dude!!

he is an absolute mad lad!!!

Fair play too Bruno. The cams sound epic on tick over haha. Another Great video as always Tobias 👍🏻✌🏻

Wish there was another Video on the BDS 318i. This one was too short and sadly not enough videos on the adaptation of the Super Touring S42B20 parts into the M42. :(

Those roads look beautiful there!

Now the sound of this 4 pot it's where is at!! Yet I'm a fan of the inline six, but you can't argue with that mean sound; It is 🎶

loving the saggy roof lining.typical e36 lol

I like the custom shaggy roofliner

Proper E36, hanging roof! nomnom :D

Ice, very Nice. Now that’s proper 318.

Impressive beast holy god... Exist a picture or vid of engine??

nice vid! looking fwd for update build on this car i own e36 318 and 325 before, and i did prefer the 4 pot more

Im glad i own a BMW. 1995 E36 sedan. Class . thats all I can say. Nothing but Class .

Never knew that the e36 bmw 4 cilinders had this much potential, NICE!

i have 318i and i thought its a trash until now lol

I used to have 318is, and everybody said get a 6 cyl, 4 cyl are garbage, then I got e 320 and it's horrible to drive, and burns much more fuel as a daily. So now I am looking again for a 318is.

E36 power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😈🔥💯

This man knows how to build a car. Fucking mint.

man this 318i is nuts

Only real talk here in this vid.. this vid is a gift to the world.

when's the full review coming?

Makes me miss my white e36 316i sedan ! 99hp - GUTLESS - but my god it was fun

Sounds amazing reminds me to a 4a-ge

Question, what do you lot do for insurance? I live in Guernsey and was wondering if there's a go to insurer for modified cars, seems like such a pain.

well this convinced me, I am getting a 4 cyl for my first e36 :D, ill upgrade to a i6 for my 2nd one.

Could listen to him talk all day, what an accent! Good video bro ✌🏼

For a second there I thought you were filming an E36 with a blown engine

Juan and John, separated at birth. 😊

Followed and hopefully get some work done in the new year

Should make a run down on parts really interested in building a m44. I was going to be typical and swap with a 6 cylinder but now im thinking

You must've read my mind Monky! I saw one of these on Craigslist yesterday locally for $650 it just needed paint. I was going to pass it up since it's 4cyl but then I was thinking hmm.. maybe I should snatch it for jz swap?

usually a 4cylinder doesent go trending on my reccomended page,usually its the 6 cylinder

Sounded like JamieFYD was sat in the car.. woohoo hoooooo! :)

Hey do you know what engine is this m43?

Sounds like a Honda, props

Portugal ayyyyy

BDS Performance FTW!

I wanna do this to mine a lot

I want to see the mini review

I have a completely stock 318i with a ecu remap to 143 hp from 118hp and the difference is noticeable

my kind of build!!!!

Great little video about this fantastic car. Love when people get their eyes on uncommon stuff...

What are the torque and hp of this configuration?

Any pics of the engine ?

Do a updated more in depth review on this build mate, it's fucking mad.

3:28 speedcamera lol

The ad ons on a stage 5 e46?

Always the same problem on every E36. The roof carpet ready to fall off haha

What seats does this have in front?

Where can I get this intake I have the same motor would like to fit this intake on mine

Revisiting because I want another review if this!

I totally agree that the e36 does better with a 4cyl, something about ripping the shit out of a 4cyl is just super fun though. I’d love a 250hp 4 cyl e30 4 door with diving board bumpers canyon car. My daily is m50 e34 & I’d need 350hp to have fun I’d think. But that may be my SRT8 Magnum (power to weight ratio is pretty good) coming through hahaha

Can you tell us what exacly he has done to the car? I want to build one too I´m in love . Great vid as always

Vanos kicked in yoooooooooooo

I love bmw e36 is my dream car

At 2:17 the shifter rattles I have the same thing in my 318is does !! Does anyone know how to fix that or what it may be ?! There’s also a lot of play in the shifter when in gears.

Nice 😍

That sagging roof liner..lol....

Some ITB's on that thing will wake it right up

Actually 318iS engine, no one knows M42 or M44, but I would bet on M42 :) Great car!

tell bruno to bring you to portugal sometime

Drooping headliner. Classic e36 things.

Power?

What cam is that ?

Where did he buy his parts

Nice,could you tell me were did you get those fender flares

Is that the m44 motor?

That guy bruno he is from Porto? I think i now him from Porto Ramada alta i would like if you can confirm

Still waiting that proper review 👀

What cam is that?!

Still waiting for that propper review ⏱

Had me a few is coupes and loved them also had a 3.64 lsd it was amazing and I never felt it needed more than it's 150hp.. I hate growing up

bmw had to run a 2.0 4pot because of regulations not because they were faster on track than the 6 pots , 36s with s54s in are the quickest things round tracks in the uk in the cscc and i think most other things im not sure if there is anything out there faster at the min

Is it hard to put a new clutch in 96 318 I thinking of buying one and it needs a clutch is it worth buying for 400 bucks

Sounds awesome on idle, don’t hear many cam’d cars these days!!!

German VTEC! with RWD.

Bruno is Portuguese for sure

Like for the Music in the End! 👍🏻

Honestly the torque of m50 is noticeable but so is the weight over front axle feels like an old Audi in comparison to balance of 4

Bruno said that the engine had 140hp stock, which makes this a 318is, not a regular 318i ;) cheers

He did good in Avatar

HP?
