A BMW Race event here in sunny South Africa (56k no no)

[SA E30]

Attended a race event here in SA, that had some of the fastest Street Legal BMW's in the country attending.

Start with my mates, adn their cars :)



This guy is running a 2.7lt bottom end... and stock 2.5lt head



325iS Evo1... running 288cam, port and polish, headers and exhaust...making 142kw ATW.



325iS Evo2... 2.8lt conversion, 292cam stand alone management... used to run on 18" wheels, but changed to 15's cause the car was too slow on the launch... making 159kw



325iS Evo...2.8lt conversion 300 deg cam... exhaust headers.



325i Shadowline... with full M-Tech 2 kit... not sure of mods.



Stock Standard 325iS Evo1 ... making 145kw ATF from factory.



320i... with 325i Motor, and headers, with exhaust system, imported from UK.



Dunno this guy, but he was there with us... Guessin it's a 325iS.

Now onto some of the other cars that were there, I know most of the owners of these cars, and have been in most of them.



323i with a 325iS Evo2 2.7lt motor that has been turboed. The thing that is unique is his Dash... E36, pretty wikkid, considering everythign works.





325i Turbo Cabrio... Baur... like every cabrio in SA





This is the fastest Street Legal BMW in South Africa... 325iS Evo 2 2.7lt Turbo and Gas... still running the old M20 motor... best time 10.6 ...That equates to a high 9sec run in the states. The best thing about this car is it is 100% legal, no weight saving... still has a radio.



This is the 2nd quickest BMW, E36 M3 3.0lt (3.2lt stroker) Supercharged and Gas... best time 10.9 sec ... It has a bit of weight saving, Fibre Glass fenders, Bonnet, and Boot Lid.







Another quick E30... best time 11.1 ... guess what motor ? M42 Turbo ... making somewhere around 400hp ATW. Also reliable, never ever seen this thing break... surprisingly.





This is a mate of mine's car, E30 320i, with a 328i motor, running Turbo alone, bets time 12.1 ... he's struggling with Traction.








Now just some pics of the other cars that I snapped.





Wikkid car, making 1000hp.



Chevrolet Lumina... known as the Holden Monaro in Aus... this one is Superchagred and Gassed... think it's making around 700hp.

















Couldn't figure out what Comaro this is ?







This car has a S50B30 Euro motor in it.

Wow a riced out E60M5 (or fake m5).

Now that is a gathering. The e30 enthusiast base is really serious even though yet small by comparison all over the world. I love how you guys have a bunch of modded m20s and a turbo m42 as well :pimp:. Any specs on that m42 with boost?

[uflnuceng]

Thanks for the car porn... I think that is a 1967 Camaro RS... very nice example. I'd like to get one some day.

[rede30]

Any chance you have some more pictures of that silver e30, i think it like the 2nd fasted or somthing. I have always wanted to see the rims it has on an
e30.

[Hick]

any pics of the m42 turbo motor?

[Il Duce]

damn nice pics, although the e60 m5 w/ the altezzas is disgusting...


thanks for sharing!

[325is_e30]

[asubimmer]

Is there some south african law that says all E30's must be gorgeous?

[Jon325i]

Impressive array of E30s....especially all those M-Techs. Very nice. Probably the most 'unique' E30 mod was the E36 dash swap - can't say I've seen that done before. If everything does work (switches, ventilation, guages, etc.) that's worthy of kudos.

Yeah, some nice cars... I've got loads more pictures of these cars, from other events... I've got some of the silver one... but not his engine bay, and I've got some pics of the blue one's motor, but only on his old setup... it has since been sold since I took the pictures of the motor... and they running a different setup now.

[motorprestige]

jeezus. Work rezax and a side exit exhaust on a 4dr? If the SA BMW scene was an adult movie, it would be rated XXX!!!

[SA E30]

Haha, I love that car of his to bits aswell, the only thing I don't like is that he has put a hood scoop on the car... but then it is there for a purpose, so that he can get more air onto his turbo.
