Okay maybe no one can help with the specs ...
Whaqt can i expect to pay for a e30 M3 Diff ??? the diff on these bad boys have shorter ratio's which should get me through the rev reange much quicker

Thanks bud ...
As for the diff those items are not sold here as we did not get the e30 M3

there are at least a couple hundred of my SA buddies working there and i ship goods from the UK on a weekly basis so that wont be a problem

Lol! We have something called a 318is it has a 16v m42 engine and m-tech suspension. Faster than the 320i. However not really like or remotely as fast/ rare as your 325is in SA!

Nice one but i would like to see if your cabbie is quicker than my current 320i she has gives a 325i a very hard time ... ..

LOL is that motor similar to the one in the e36 318is ???
i cant wait the 325is i have looking for one that is in good nick for a long time now .... i finally managed to find one at a decent price cos the guys that have them either wont sell or scare you off with prices ranging from
R 90 000.00 up to R 130 000.00 ... just for refference the pound is at
R 13. 00 ....
these cars are scarce and it is even more scarce finding an owner willing to sell ....
