2nd owner of a ‘92 E36 chassis BMW 325i. Currently has just shy of 300k miles, car was originally from Florida. Completely replaced the entire suspension with adjustable coilovers, installed UUC front & rear sway bars, subframe reinforcements, Bav Auto front stress bar, stainless lines all around… Plenty of other little mods around it. This was the first Euro car I’ve ever owned, and I’m pretty much in love with it. Installing the UUC Evo3 short shifter, lightweight flywheel, & kevlar clutch over the next month (as well as a host of little things I’ve bought but haven’t installed yet!) Engine mods have been very limited; I was at first very worried about potentially damaging the engine, as BMW has a reputation for being expensive to repair. After a few years of rough driving, I’m shocked at how much punishment the old girl will take. That M50 is bulletproof. So far, I’ve only done the fan delete and installed a silicon intake boot. Both led to noticeable increases on the butt-dyno. Planning on building a monster turbo engine for it over the next few years, with the OBD-1 top end from an early M50, and the stroked lower end from a later M52. Luckily enough, my father ran a turbo shop for a number of years and has quite a few stashed away for a rainy day :)
