HEY guys... My car...

[Fidhle007]

the ix can handle quite well setup properly but that's why I wouldn't do a RWD conversion to one.. you don't have the benefit of AWD but you're still stuck with a very limited aftermarket and lots of custom parts for the suspension.

Don't get me wrong, I love the way my IX handles but that still doesn't change the lack of caster, even with offset CABs. In the hands of a poor driver that can be disaster when you add S50 power.

[nando]

the caster isn't a big deal, what it really lacks is camber. ;)

[Fidhle007]

I know, but when we loops it and overcorrects, well... At least there will be a cheap S50 swap for sale soon!

[nando]

you are probably lifting the throttle when it starts to rotate. it's pretty easy to spin actually - but you have to keep your foot planted instead of your instinct to let off and let the front wheels do their work. I'd say it's probably worse than a regular E30 snap oversteer on throttle lift. I was pretty surprised the first time it happened to me..

[Fidhle007]

Yeah, I had a few scary moments in the snow last year in my boss's IX before I had my own to fuck up in. It's really counterintuitive at first but once you the bug bit me I had to go get one of my own!

yes thats the m badge with the German flag colors...

I DONT have those wheels anymore.. getting sport-max wheels..

changing a couple of things like rear bumper and front..


Thanks for the comments good and bad...

PS. NO WAY IN fUCKING HELL IM GETTING RID OF THE M-TECH WING ........ TOOK ME HELL OF LONG TIME FINDING IT...

You should keep the current wheels rather than get sportmax.

When one changes aftermarket to aftermarket, it usually involves an upgrade. Not a downgrade.

no ebay here.. bumper isnt fiber glass :finger: its real reiger..

ALL THE PARTS ON MY CAR ARE PERFECTLY FINE.. NOTHING BROKEN...

IF I CAN FIND A M50 525 IX OILPAN THEN HELL YA ILL DO AN S50-52 AWD..

If you can spend 3k at Earl Scheib for paint, you can drop $900.00 at Assel BMW.

you don't need or want a 525ix oil pan. the 325ix front diff won't bolt up to that - so you would need a 525ix front differential, driveshaft, and CV shafts, and you would need a matching gear ratio for the back to use it. What you do need is an ix oil pan, an E36 oil pan, and somebody who can weld aluminum.

Retard doesn't even begin to describe you. You just proved that yourself by saying "I'm looking for the easiest way to add some power...alot of power" then "The transfer case will not hold power over 200hp.."

S50=240hp
S52=260hp

Both are more than 200 :retard:

oh yeah, I missed that.

yeah, an S50 ix is definitely not for somebody who doesn't even know how the AWD system works.. I'd be amazed if somebody actually broke that chain. Ask the guys in sweeden what theY break in drag races with 400+hp turbos.. it's not the transfer case.

and both S50s are 240hp :p

Your numbers are a bit high.
