Well I bought this IX ( 1991 325 IX h3 ) a few months ago and have mostly finished it up. I will take it in to get two little blemishes fixed up when the snow is done.
I had an '89 ix which was I had stripped and I moved over all the better parts. BMW rebuilt TC case, water pump, timing belt, belts hoses, short shift, sway bars, got rid of the beige fatboy interior and put in my black sport seat interior. Looks sweet. Put my super sport exhaust on with custom pipes. Had the valves done last week and OMG this car can go and sounds like new. Had a good look at the cam and found the HARTGE stamps
This car is for real and the Hartge swap (hatge Engine, hartge headers, hartge rear strut brace) was done upon delivery in '91 by BMW Calgary.
They claim a 230 HP Hartge engine and a 70K final invoice, but I believe it is either hartge 11 27 0490 at 190 HP or the hartge 11 27 0860 at 205 HP ( any way to find out? ) It is VERY VERY fast compared to my '89 ix (which was had a chip and the supersprint exhaust).
I am looking for a Hartge spoiler to sweeten it up as I am getting some slight body work done
