320is

Can anyone tell me what the 320is is like? any good as track day car?

Welcome to the zone!
Cant say i driven one, but with the sport chassis, and the light, revvy 4 pot out of the m3 (making nearly as much power) i'd say it would prob be spot on for a bit of track day action! Even more so with a few choice mods.

Simple answer yes, as soon as you sort the suspension out

Cheers,

What mods would need to be made to the suspension? how much is a 1988 with 120k miles worth?

[Zayyan]

Well they just come on "standard" suspension, so whatever kit you like really.

They've gotta be pretty dangerous on the standard suspension

They're worth about Ԛ£4k and up I've heard for a decent one, I'm not going to pay less than Ԛ£4k when I get mine anyway

If it's a real IS, with the 2-litre S14 engine I'd say it's a waste to rag it on the track, as they are so rare. A regular M3 would probably be cheaper, has more power, better aerodynamics, better brakes, etc. etc.

The great fun of a 320iS is that's it's the uber-sleeper...

Very nice cars (someone let me have a drive of one please!), but significantly cheaper than an m3... Cheaper to run too - apart from the engine it's all stock sport stuff AFAIK
