Throphy 320is

[M42Power]

I wanted to share something with you us guys. Yall know the 320is with the s14b20 for the italien and portuguese markets right?

Whell, here there was something called the Mobil 1 320is trophy that raced 320is's, special versions of them.






They were all white 320is's with a slick top, ACS type 1 15' wheels, no ac, racing spec suspension, slicks, 45% locking lsd's, dogleg gearbox (like all 320is's), race spec exausts, mtech 2 kit and a engine rebuilt every race.

Well, after the trophy ended Bmw needed to do something with the cars that remained, about 50 cars. So, they maintained all the trophy parts and rigged a full interior in the cars. And now these super special 320is's are sowing up here and there.





Very desirable cars and awesome preforming cars. Just wanted to share this with you guys

Aso just wanted to share with you the sleeper 320is's, standard sedans with all the 320is hardware

Catch plane to portugal. Bring loads of money. Ship car. Catch plane. Wait. Receive car. Drive the shit out of it

That's awesome, so they just stripped the liveries and sold them to individuals?

[bimmerboy08]

[325ix]

Very cool, would love to see one in person, or better yet own one!

Yes they did. They removed the stickers and rollbars, seats, ect and reassembled the interiors then sold them.

I live in their country, so i should know the history behind the 320is's

Yes, because here and in italy there is a tax on the engine size, so the m3 and 325i were heavily penalized since they were over 2000 cm3. So this one came along. 2000 were made, mtech2 coupes and normal 4 doors.

I've always loved these. I'd love to have one in the states. I think I heard of a handful imported by private owners into the states. That would be hilarious pulling up next to an m3 in one, and confuse the fuck out of him.
