OT: My new track rat...

[TC535i]

So since the supercharged 318 tore it's subframe, I've decided to get something to replace it, swap all the track goodies over to the new car, gut it, and set it loose!

Well, I finally found a suitable replacement. Picked up a 94 325is yesterday. Decent condition, runs well, a bit rough inside but the interior will be pulled for the most part, seats swapped for my Sparco Evos & harnesses, etc.



Don't mind the lights, those are going too.

car looks to be in nice shape, what's wrong with the lights? i think they look fine.

how is the e36 as a track car?

A little nice for a track rat...

What became of the 318? Parted?

[TC535i]

Stuff from 318 will go to the 325, then I decide if what's left is worth welding the subframe and selling the car, or part out the drivetrain and send the rest to a yard. 184k or so on the clock.

Lights are a little bit too chromy for me, and I don't like the upside-down -eye look. They're real Hella lights, so the optics are nice... just a little too flashy for me, I'll sell em to someone and put some cheap stockers back in. Remember... track rat...

E36 is fun on the track, pretty well planted with the right suspension stuff. A little lacking on power unless you get an M version, but tearing some weight out helps with that. Gonna need a limited slip diff, other than that she should be pretty fun with what I got!

Looks quite nice.

Don't bother swapping out the lights; get some smoked lamin-x, throw it over them and call it a day.

Track car? Take them out and use a flashlight.

[Atl530i]

Looks good. Get the Lamin-X or switch them out from the 318i.

Could just be the PO, but to me that looks like a factory M-tech 325is, which is what they offered before the E36 M was introduced

If so, very rare care! If not so, well it appears you've found a very clean enthusiast owned/modded example! Nice
