Welcome to the zone, bodywork looks tody. Pretty decked out that, must get a few probs with the sump and midbox

325 Tourer? Has 318i stamped on the back pal!

Unless you've dropped a 6 pot engine into a 4 pot set up?

Feck that's low

There's an oil cooler lurking in there so going to be a 2.5 i reckon.

Any plans to fit it with springs?

Nice looking motor mate,
What next ??

Looks quite solid, sort that suspension out & your rolling.

its a 2.5 i just put the 1.8 badge on the back to be different!
the sump is fine for now but the centre box catches on speed bumps and madly cambered roads,
the springs are fine my bro is a spring smith so he trimmed, re-wound and slightly stiffened them for me.
future plans are, m50 engine, make my 3dr rear mtec leather seats fit, e36 steering rack, make a complete exhaust system, finish making my top plates for my coilovers, replace bonnet and drivers door, sort a few small rust patches then a blow over in the same colour

Nice.......I just starting one too. what is the spring reduction/ rate?? Back-box??


Keep it coming.

the springs are approx -80mm as for stiffness im unsure, just a little more than standard. the back box is 2 inline silencers from my old sierra (cherry bomb style) side by side with a 3" stainless pipe welded on each one mated up to the standard system for now, i plan to make a single 2.5" system from the manifold with no boxes for clearance issues and have it coming thru a similar set up on the rear but with stainless silencers
