    My First boosted BMW

    I picked up an 84 325e from i young man that worked for us at the shop. Clean little car with 175,000 kms. We specialize in Porsche and Audi and seeing as we had some S4 stuff laying around we thought we would boost it. Using K03 turbos and an S4 intercooler, custom piping, split second piggy back ftc-1, Volvo 760 turbo injectors, aeromotive FPR, 944 Porsche mass air meter, ground control suspension, and a set of wheels. She turned out quite well. Been daily driving her and kept the boost down to 7 psi. I also own other german makes that you would think would be more fun but i am stoked on this thing!

        I might have to pick a couple of these up! Employee discount is almost too good to pass up. Do you know what kind of power you're putting down? 200whp?

                  looks good. Love the wheels also on the e30. Very creative with the turbo off an S4 built all up.

                      Cool Setup.
                      I've thought about using S4 parts on my 318is. Single turbo though.
                      S4 parts are easy to come buy and cheap(Read FREE)

                      Car looks great. Awesome color.

                        What size tires are you running on those BBS RM's?

                        Nice set up by the way!
