    Some new pics...

    1: My car next to my friends new car, it's the E90 320d, wich has 203bhp without chiptuning it... But don't want to overdo it.

    2: Removing the dash and installing the new cables for electric windows and central door locking.

    3: New center console, with new leather around the gear shifter.

    4: Picture of the car.

    5: Picture of the rear end.

    Your car is certainly the better looking out of the two!

    There are lots of 3-series' with M packs around. And a 320d has 163bhp (or 150) stock, not 203.

    It isn't stock anymore But it can still be chiptuned... Normally he was going to put it at around 230bhp, maybe 240bhp (with the best of luck), but then again, to much pressure on the engine block isn't good for the engine. So it now drives with a bigger turbo, and a better intercooler, but the turbo is on quite low pressure. But still delivers more cold air, so 203bhp was reached on the dyno. Wich was good enough.

    Till now, I haven't seen much E90 with a full M pakket (carbon lips as well). He even got the real motorsport alloys that are normally for racing suspose only.

    either way, i bet it really does sound great...i had a 325is with no muffler and it sounded amazing at high revs...
    E30s are great cars, ive had three and i would probably have my fourth right now if i hadnt found my E23 732i
    I said I was going to test it, and have it on film now. It doesn't have a limited-slip, but it goes allright...

    535IS? Isn'th that the M535i? Cause you haven't got the Is in europe, only the 535i, M535i and M5. And I once pulled against a M5 E28 while driving a E39 540i and it just drove away

    It was hilarioush, we were standing at the lights, 540i vs Jag X (with 300bhp), green light, pedal to the medal, and suddenly, the old M5 drove past us :rofl: Old BMW's still rule! If insurance wasn't that difficult, I would get myself a 635csi (218bhp version) with a manual gear box, just love the looks and specs of those cars.

    BTW, some pics of the E28?

    You sure can build a house on those US bumpers... Cool car btw but is the paint of your hood damaged? Today went to the circuit, where the driftdays wear going on, and a E28 535i was 2nd or 3th. Ofcourse an E30 on 1ste place

    I just love the Alpina version of the E28:

    Ugh. Every day I want an E30 more and more... My buddy at school has a white one and I got a ride in it. Such a quick car, and he didn't even have a chance to really get on it.

    I thought the fuel economy gauge was really cool in his.

    The things we do for girls who won't sleep with us.

    I think it's the 2.5L. It's almost stock. He's got a cat back exhaust, and that's about it. They've got tons of mid-range punch though. Fun car to bang around in.
