  1. Anyone tried an m3 vs a tweaked chipped 328i e36? I was working on a 96 328i but lost it during a separation. Thing was fast. Like really fast. Basically had most an m3 other than the motor put in it. The guy before me put a different diff into even. Modified exhaust as the tune had it backfiring all the time even on high octane gas. Had all sorts of extra bits added and couldn't really help but speed in it always ridinf the brakes as you would be doing over the speed limit if you put your foot down. The guy before me opted out of the manual conversion as his last one he did was spinning on gear changes.

  2. I had half a dozen the things last year. Now Im stuck with the 95 318ti. Fun little car. But the plastics all going in it now. All the panel clips etc. Has an m3 front bumper so lil bit cuter then the standard. But clipped it and popped my spots out hahaha done that on a few of them. The koni sports springs and shocks help until you dont have clearance. New bushings would have helped as it was going down then up hill and the down force gave it wobbles.
