new guy here...

[akabigmike]

after taking a few years off from messing with cars...mostly vw's..i stepped back into the game.

recently picked up a 84 325i with 110k on it for 500 bucks...along with a complete non vanos m50 swap. so i figured if i got the parts i might as well do the swap. after looking into it more came to find out that the ecu is chipped with a ultrachip 405r(whats the benefit of this??)

recently snagged up the 5 series oil pan pickup tube and dip.

was gonna go with the poly engine mounts ive seen here on rev along with an ebay header as the m50 didnt come with an exhuast manifold.

bottom line..im gonna rag the the shit outta this thing..cage it and track it.

figured id say hi..so im not a complete stranger...PEACE!







Newish heart with 118k on it

After the M50, acquire Euro-Bumpers and low. That is all.

He said he wants to track it so I dont think euro bumpers would be ideal. There kinda rare to be put in danger on a track. But hey its personal preferences.

Nice car mike! It has potential! W3lcome!

The e cars do blow if your trying to have a quick car. They only have 121hp when "i" cars have 174hp. Thats all. The "e" was economy.

FYI.. If you wanna sell the flaps, theres a ton of people looking for them on the forums.

steal!!! congrats

Nice score, zinno early models ftw. I came from a vw/audi background as well.

[akabigmike]

well recently just got in the mail..swap mounts..coil overs..and a ebay header...

i was thinking of going with the euro bumpers..or even just the plastics..i hate the dive'n board bumpers with a passion...ive got no clue if there worth trying to get rid of or not..

as for the mudflaps...when i take em off ill keep that in mind...
