i hear all this talk about the 320, whats the problem with it? ok most people have the 318is or the 325, the i.s only has 10 more break, whats that? a decent exhaust system! you have given me a mission. i want to modify my 320 so that it will destroy the 318i.s and the 325! iv had enough of people slateing the 320,ok its got a few flat spots,nothing that a decent chip wont sort out. if you were to put my 320 up beside a 325 sport you wouldnt be able to tell the difference looks wise. sorry to hijack the thread mate but i would keep the e30 too :D and join me, one of the very proud owners!

I think I would rather just put an E36 M3 lump in mine and be done with it :eek:

not worth the hassle mate, decent exhaust system,raceing cam, some forced induction, decent chip, 525 bottom end, then turbo!,like to see the 325 and the 318i.s keep up then!

Mate i agree, i love my 320i. its quick and smooth and ive always wondered why it gets such a slating on here. its certainly better than a basic 318!

racing cam wouldnt work with turbo

chip wouldnt be used with turbo..

standard exhaust is pretty handy anyways

forced induction is turboing

it sure does take a slateing, and there is no chance that a modded 320i would keep up with a e36m3 powered e30,no chance in hell!
i think its about 1500 pounds for a turbo mod. my apoligies for the forced induction and the chip, goes to show what i know about tuneing..ok can i say just a turbo???
