For those who want proof - thats mtech2 on a prefacelift - a lot of work though and he knows what he's doing.

Its a 325e I believe - although I doubt that is what it is remaining.

um looking at the mod list on his site think the only mtech 2 stuff is the rear spoiler..everything else is from e36 or whatnot....the front valance is a stock one.....looks good with the spoiler.....the 325e is the 'eta' model....greek for economical....basically a 2.7 engine that doesnt rev very high (120-140 HP, around 180 ft lbs of torque) slower than a 325 i (169hp, 167 ft lbs torque) and more torquey....we dont get much in nz..but they extremely common in the states and canada

yeah I was always under the influence, uh I mean impression that it stood for injected, but wouldn't injection be as economical if not more so than carbs?

The 'e' is injected too.

My car has a hybrid 325e/325i engine. (I didn't do it, a previous owner did), with a 325i transmission, intake and exhaust.

It means about the same BHP as a 325i (in its current config) but a fair bit more torque.

I plan on changing the camshaft, which will increase the BHP a fair bit (or so I am told). At the moment my BHP peaks at 4,800 rpms even though it is more than happy to rev to the limit of 6,400. I will probably have to change the chip as well.

The torque in mine is 243nm and is pretty flat from 1950rpm's right through to 4,800rpm's. It means I can basically pull away from a standstill quite happily in 3rd gear.

Cheers

andy meant plastic bumpers, not jus mtec2, and the front spoiler is now reiger infinity,

plus as andy said: Its a 325e I believe - although I doubt that is what it is remaining.

It now has a 325i engine, and used to be black. Now its Lachs Silber.

I hate to say it, but he's pretty much an E30 god. What he hasn't done to that car isn't worth doing!
