The BMW's of IA

[AtlE30]

hey guys! nice cars. love em. i am going back to the 80's with an e30 325is. its got some goodies here and there but nothing too crazy...

I have:
redone the head and intake and exhaust manifold with port/polish, dunk tanked
5 angle valve job
replaced the rockers and valve springs
schrick cam (284/276)
bigger MAF (from a 535i) = going for a little more air...
new throttle body
custom catback exhaust
m3 u-joints with replaced driveshaft
mille miglia 16's
cross drilled brakes
bilstien shocks with H&R Springs
Xtec HID's
some other body mods and such...

All in all i am enjoying keeping the car clean and getting some power here and there...

Beautiful car, rep'n the 80's too. I've got a 535i air flow meter I need to sell, too, lol. Did you notice much of a performance increase after doing he swap? I've heard you do, but never heard any first-hand experience.

wel... it really helps on top end. low end isnt really lost, but i love the good pull gained at the top. compared to the smaller 325 one i had, its not as snappy as the original, but it is worth it if you are going to get on it and stay on it...

not a bad mod for being pretty cheap... ( i grabbed mine from a junk pile at the shop...)
