Hi Guys,

I'm new here. This is my Baby & current project. It' a 1995 BMW 320i Coupe Auto. So far all it has done to it is:

M3 Tech Bodykit
17"x8" spilt rim BBS RKI
Sports leather interior
Starcool sliver window Tint 40%F/B, 60%sides.
Twin 2.5" DTM exchaust pipe

Other than that it's pretty standard. It had 150bhp as standard & it's heading towards 250bhp(my target). It's running at 155bhp. Just had a Full BMW once over(101 point check) and has a clean bill of health.

More engine Mods coming so watch this space & if anybody has an reasonable ideas, let me know :

On the way :

K&N Racing airfilter
Remus straight through exchauts 3" oval
ECU remapping Super chip

Cheers

S

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments.

Louis: thanks for the welcome.

Mockngbrd: Cheers on the rims but they've got to go. Am looking at 19" m3 evo's & coming soon. After that suspension, looking down the Koni way. Any views? Manual futher down the road. Bought it cos it's a coupe& they are very hard to find here in Thailand. Very limited.

Nicholastan91: Them Rims are gone as you can see above. I'm looking at engine mods First cos I don't want to be all show and no go!!!! So any engine mods on offer??? Thanks for your input.

This is my pet project. I follow the euro way of styling "less is more". Don't want to be remembered by the cops so trying to keep the outside as stock as possible. If I could make it invisible I would only if it goes like Shxt off a shovel

Cheers Guys

Hi Guys,

Here's the Deal:

I'm trying to keep the outside as stock(old school) as possible. Cos here they are very rare and don't want to be remembered by the cops(all show & no go). So working on engine mods first.

10bhp on a stock engine comes from me, when I was younger and raced fiat Uno's every weekend. Everybody had same spec engine as standard all depends on your tuning preference. I tweaked the engine myself, change certain parts and tuned it by feel. Bmw dyno clocked it @ 159bhp with variance lets say 155bhp(highest reading from bm 160bhp) As I said earlier I dropped it off at Bmw Hq & asked for a full over haul. Some of the stuff they called me on & not OEM, but if it's not broken don't fix it(I know this attitude could void warranty & that's why I always mod older cars). So now I have them on board as my back up, I can move forward, but they have given me rules. They will only service it and replace only Bmw parts. If it's a mod part and not standard we'll sit down and discuss options. But They can borrow it on promotion days if agreed in advance. They have called in that favour. I was heading to Oz for New Years & have drop me motor off with my engineer from bm,
When I said i was away for NY he asked could he hang on to me car.
Yeah sure ok!!!
I come back from 2 weeks away and go to collect it.
It's in the show room (thats why it's so clean, the boy's @ Bm) beside the new E92 325i w/o idrive. B6,135,000. I was stunned to see my car there beside it. They were using it as a marketing tool & told me they could have sold twice over. But it's the only one they've seen in the last 3 years so they have adopted it and are helping me on the tuning but I have to come up with the mods

Engine mods????
