    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...)
