ive always loved these vehicles for years. have a few freinds with fast ones and said to hell with the cav! i found a 1986 325es that a buddy was selling, came with bilstein shocks/struts, bav springs, m3 control arms, poly every bushing. all it needed was a drivetrain...

Call me Mr. Fancy Pants, but I like the E36+. You two do have some sweet cars, still. I just wish a Beamer would pop up around here in decent shape at a decent price. Then again, if it did, I probably wouldn't be on these boards :/ Project GMW is a sweet name, though, lol.

hah, yeah i love the old chrome bumpers, and the newer plastic...its always a toss up for me. a good buddy of mine has a 86 325, i built a small t25 turbo kit for the e motor in it.. its now a s50 turbo. u might recognize this car from e30 tech (the car i got). i found a few e36's but this fell into my lap and here it is. lol. it will be a fast car and i can really push my engine!

e30tech, bimmerfest, bimmerforums and r3vlimited are huge forums, hard to keep up with all but the locals and valuable members. Been a member at both for almost 5yrs, same usernames I always use with "Firebird"

I did the is top end swap, Motronic 1.3 upgrade and our custom chip. The eta made 134whp/145wtq, up from the stock 95/140.

got the engine and trans in! made the mounts out of 1/4'' cold rolled steel, kind of a bitch to cut lol. theres about 1/8'' clearance under the oil pan and the subframe. cowl hood is in order, which doesnt bother me at all. shifter sits about 3'' forward of the factory hole.
