[born2boost]

Hi Guys...

I am based in South Africa...

Recently bought this 325is. Its at Savspeed, being properly turbocharged.

Here's some pics of the work in progress:

The car...

forged pistons...


5 lug suspension from the E30 M3 comes standard on the S.African 325is


Let me know what you guys think...

Thanks guys...

@JamesE30... We never got the E30 M3 here in South Africa, so BMW Motorsport along with BMW here designed something to replace the M3, it was dubbed the 325is. It came stock with the M Tech 2 bodykit, E30 M3 suspension, 6 cylinder 2.7 litre M20, which was modified for extra power by BMW Motorsport. It made 155kw at the fly...which is much higher than the stock 325i.

This car is an absolute motorsport icon down here...and you'd easily pay way more than $10 000 for one thats in decent condition...

I dont have any interior pics...will post some asap...

Euro e30's also have solid aluminium motor mounts.
