yep there was an e34 there with out one and i could see the difference that it makes! locks up really well too! ive just put new idler arm on, gearbox and engine mounts, rear dog bones, rear anti roll bar links, front anti roll bar links. feels tighter now than ever want to get it tip top shape for the next one and they have been on the list of things to do for a while. next i plan to get a better suspension set up its currently lowerd on std billys, plan to get a set of b8's with eibach springs although may be a while yet as there not cheap!

Every time I see these I get more and more tempted, they look like lots of fun for a big car, what's the performance like on these? Much slower then a 325i? Certainly looks nice and balanced in the pictures

They arent really much slower than an e30 325i, much better built though. Not quite as nimble or chuckable but a sport handles well for a big car.

I think Im gonna get one next.

[320ise]

they are not as nimble as the e30 but alot better than you would think, mine has been pollyied and lowered and has strutbrace and good dampers and springs and imo will out handle any e30 i have driven. and ive had 2 is's 2 sports and everything in the middle!

get one enjoy the bargain price and never look back!!!

also mine has a few engine mods like, decat and full stainless system, bbtb, viper carbon induction kit, and a chip of speedtouch. it is now quicker than the 535i i owned and that was quicker than a 325i e30.

Ive just bought a 530 v8 manual. Full factory M5 look alike in black with staggered style 5s.

Its about as quick as a 525i sport, sounds lush but costs a bit more to run lol.

[320ise]

to be fair people say there as quick as 525i's but the torque makes it different to drive the v8's are a lazy engine with power everyware! but the 525i you do have to rev in gear to get the best of it!
