The story is it was a pile of semi scrapped bits a rolling shell, seized engine from another car, no gearbox, diff, prop etc etc.. no V5, no import papers, no proof of delivery, homologation etc etc..

Now after 3 years I have a almost new track prepared 320is.
Manufactured in 1988, 1st registration in the UK August 2013, MOT'd with 6 miles on the clock winkeye

Before.....

Thanks for the comments.

320is are 4 stud but we did a handful of mods including moving the ARB pickup point to the top of the damper like the M3 5 Stud.

Exhaust.. I guess twin was possible but the exhaust was custom by a chap who knows his stuff and the only brief is performance and weight. Well I guess budget is as well or I would have had it in Ti but you get my point ;)
