    My current BMW 1989 325i ( all stock except for the euro plate)


    Same BMW about one year later

    nice car you got there! Take it to the drag strip? If so what do you run? We have a 1983 Caprice Classic that now runs 14.2 seconds on the quarter mile.

    Before the chip, limited slip rear end, wider tires and exhaust I got a 15.6 out of it with a 2.4 60'. I haven't raced it since I did those mods. I also have a lightweight flywheel and clutch set-up I'm working on

    Dude welcome!!!!!!!! So glad you're here!



    Here's my e30 (its on baye30 as Avivs... bought it off that guy in March 04)
    We're planning to autocross it next year.

    My first car was a 78 320i Loved it.

    And here are some awesome 320s from the Santa Barbara Bimmerfest




    So glad we have another "enthusiast" up on the board

    You have a nice E30. I was thinking of doing French highbeams but I don't know if they would look right with my paint. Autocrossing is fun bur really hard on a car cause it is a lot of full throttle full brakes.

    The guy with the green E21 posts on bimmerforums.com, he was in Eurotuner back in Jan.

    Re: Somewhat new to the forums

    Thanks. Its sitting at my father in laws shop at the moment. My e30 is an automatic, and there is no way i'd auto cross an auto matic... we've been talking about doing a 5 speed convers. it we autocross it. I'll have to email that e21 guys pics to him. Those were some sweet rides. If you didnt make it out there this year... hopefully you can go next year... it really is a blast!
