      It's too much fun. I'll just cut out for hours into the hills, puts a smile on my face every time I pin it. I love being able to chirp tires in 2nd and 3rd.

      The whole swap was fairly painless. It went really smoothly for it being my first swap. Definitely recommend it!

              Jelly. Is it too soon to ask for the motor? I realize you just finished, but you surely must be tired of it by now :)

                Being a 325iS, it needs more M-Tech II.

                  only chirp tires in 2nd?

                  I've got them to spin shifting into third running 245s in the rear with a 3.25 lsd

                  when you say it puts a smile on your face i know exactly what you mean.. my girlfriend gets jealous when she is with me driving the car because she hates how that is the most excited she'll ever see me..

                    Mine will roast second if I shift too hard. Third will get messy but not that bad. First doesn't exist at WOT. 3.73 LSD and 205 Direzzas lol. Such a fun car. OP I think your car will look good lowered on those wheels.

                        Yea first doesn't really exist, second will light up all the way through if I shift high/hard enough out of first, can only get a chirp out of third. I do have brand new tires though.
