    Haha no. Because I have all the stuff and can have it done in a few days with the tune and all..but I changed my mind several times. I know I can make 5's and it would be sweet and one of the fastest cars around but having a big wall of turbo power is no where near as fun as revving to 8100 with 6 itb's. Plus I can make 330whp N/A run low 12 high 11 and then turbo it when I decide I want more go

    I'd leave the M50 in it because the kit I got with headstuds on an M50 and slightly bumped down compression made 444 on pump gas. These guys really know how to tune BMW's.

    Although if I buy another E36 it will be to compete in JP or Spec. You have no idea how inexpensive those cars are to maintain as track cars (325's). McCoy at TRM has one as his track toy and its gutted/shocks springs only/his Tune and he runs 44's on Road A on street tires and 189whp. That's a relatively stock car that can work through a field of Vette's, Carrera's without as much "driver mod" and rotors are 20 bucks. If you count the free track days he's gotten instructing, he's actually made money off the car.
