i just traded two cars for my 95 325i , it's my 3rd bmw but my first that i will try to keep running and want to use as an occasional auto-x car .

it's a sedan with an m52 swap, zf "m3" trans and diff , exterior stuff, h&r cup kit, spa manifold, 60 trim master power turbo on 5psi.... besides a differential brace what suggestions do you guys have for me to make it a fun dd and not embarrasing auto-x car? the wheel and tire combo will eventually match the car since right now it's on stretched tires.

does it have the underbody brace that bolts the frame rails together. It looks like a giant X under the trans made of metal tubes. It is factory on the cabriolet and some M3s.

Sounds like a great find. Any idea how much power it's putting down with the turbo?

it's a line from fast and furious

it's probably doing about 250whp . today i'm going to give it a once ov er and order a boost gauge so i can bump it up to 8-10 psi, it has a cometic headgasket and arp headstuds too...

and i want to improve my driving skills as much as the car

i have a prosport performance series i pulled out of my Mazda before i sold it if you're interested. its the non-electronic version that blacks out when the car is off, and can be set up as amber all the time, or white during the day and amber at night.... pm me if you're interested.

It's too bad we can't touch anything like that with a ten foot pole in California. I'm sure it's a lot of fun to drive!

i'm unsure on management, it's tuned at 5psi, i assume a burned chip in the ecu... thanks on the kind words. hope to start making this thing real fun.
