Would I buy doubles again if I were in the market? yes. But that's only because if I ever return to being a serious HPDE/AutoX hero, I'm going full swing with it (event every weekend type thing).
I'm just trying to keep him from thinking he needs to buy something that he really won't need for a long while so that he can focus his money on stuff that matters (safety gear, mx, safety gear, tires, brakes, etc).

The seat of the pants feel and knowledge is beyond us at this point, and way beyond 325iX.

Originally posted by lambo View PostA manual swap in the college parking lot sounds like a surefire way to attract women.
Here is my plan:
-92 325is or later model with m52b28
-auto or manual, I can handle a swap
-four doors
-no sun roof
-cloth interior
-basic maintenance: brakes mostly, a street set-up and some track pads, I may do stainless lines for that and tranny while I'm in there, also metal t-stat housing, and water pump impeller, anything else to do?
-track it
-coilovers: Single adjustable, I know very little about set-up, Tcklines, are there any other brands to consider?
Tires will be next most likely.
Good plan?Last edited by 325ix; 07-13-2011, 05:40 AM.

Didn't read the entire conversation, but why would you swap in an M52B28? Also, manual swap is a pita, and it is easy enough to find manual E36s that it doesn't justify getting an auto and doing the swap, unless the auto is ridiculously cheap and in amazing condition.
No sun roof will be hard to find.
Also, cloth interior may be on the hard side to find, but if you get leather, cloth seats are an easy swap out.
EDIT: Roland and Brad beat me to it. Also misread the "or".
