Food for thought, its important to have dream car on what type of a car you really really want. Keep your mind open always to other people's idea's. So yeah bro, go have talk to the dude at GAC racing and see what he can find out. I would for sure do the twin cam all the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 do the IS swap man. Will have quite a cool sound too. Esp if you build it for maximum revs You wont worry bout sound when you have a increase in performance anyhow, or, you could sell the whole lot to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 The iS would handle better having less weight, be a fun (read long and hard) project to do. one prob is you wouldnt gain resale that the iS's normally have. (also does it have an LSD?? use that) easier for you, would be a 2.5 swap. it would virtually be swap in and change ecu (or just chip). a fair bit more power and torque (however not heaps, as in its not something to aspire to..maybe 2.5 turbo) basically, if i was in your shoes, i would build a 318iS, but i would still want the M325i for at least a little power. having said that the cars that i have most fun in are normally other peoples scum cars....so many laughs (Ruby and Snot, you know who you are) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
