My E36 325i

Hey guys

Thought I'd introduce you to my e36 325i. She's a 1994 model in Lazure Blue with 380 000km. She's used as my daily drive with slow preparation turning her into a future track car.

Here's the progress on her thus far.

In stock form when I bought her. 1 owner car with FSH. She's not immaculate but straight nonetheless with no major structural repairs.

Next up was addition of some style 44s

Then adding plastic aftermarket M3 side skirts and black kidney grills. Side skirts were sprayed DIY style using matched aerosol paint with clear coat. Skirts were prepped with plastic primer then primered with regular primer wet sanding between coats. At this stage the rear spoiler was also removed as it was loose due to 2 broken bolts (free to a fanatic if wanted).

Next up was the addition of FK coilovers, Meyle front shock mounts, Meyle HD rear shock mounts with Z3 re-inforcement plates, towbar delete and middle exhaust box delete bringing her to her current state. I must say she sounds very raspy now. The handling has improved significantly yet the ride is firm but not uncomfortable.

Next on the cards are Powerflex suspension bushes and Racing seats. Will post an update once installed.

Thanks for reading
Cheers

For a '94 model this 325 is clean

Nice work

As for the exhaust being rasp I advise you. Replace the whole exhaust from the manifold with a branch and then freeflow make sure to get a nice big box and drone pipe so the drone is not too much

Thanks Denzel

I want to but I also want to turbo her which will render the F/F useless or can I use the same exhaust?
