@JSPRFRDKS it would be a waste of money in your situation .
i mean your engine M52B25 already got the potential to keep up with M3 (US spec) so why change it...just install M50 Inlet manifold , sport (tubular )exhaust manifold and whole exhaust too of coarse *( 328 exhaust is good choice ), and 540 intake intake Tube . after that you got 230 ~ 240 N/A Hp from 2.5cc , what else you want mean :)
@giodemon Hey thanx, I think that is the more realistic approach. I'm looking into giving it a small rebuild, and changing the intake manifold, exhaust (with 328 headers) and a shrick cam.
that was an awsome build process. i have a 95 ti. what year was yours and what year of m3 engine did put in it? how much would the build have been if you just did the engine swap none of the upgraded suspension?
looked for your articles didn't find em on your site..... loved the vid Im not ready to let go of my 1.8 engine yet but there is definitly lots that need to be done so yah I might start of with the brakes, im thinking about switching over to ceramic brakes as I need new brakes and drums
@robertlive2002 We're still working on the articles (and additional videos) Subscribe to our channel (and "like us" on facebook) and be one of the first to see them as we get them uploaded. We have a few brake upgrades in our Performance Parts catalog at AutoWerksofAmerica but have a lot more available. Call us at (888) 4A-Werks to get more info.
@AutoWerksofAmerica looks a hell of alot of fun, but i'd stress out not knowing what goes where but can def seen it being great for destressing after being stuck behind desk all day:) better then any custom pc build i've seen!
@groMMit1981 - You learn by starting with simple things (like brake, induction, exhaust & suspension upgrades and general repairs) and work your way up. You build confidence in your abilities that way. Eventually you could take on a project like this. We've started a series of how-to articles & videos at our website. We have only uploaded one how-to video so far, but there are 2 others in production and 3-4 more in planning.

@AutoWerksofAmerica i will but out of interest only as i don't have the cash nore space for such work. i'm sticking to cycling which i love and saving to do a custom with carbon belt drive and likely nuvinci hub
Our 318Ti was spinning at around 6-7K_rpm it made that with LS and without LS def could never figureout why i loved it all they way until we sold it

cool! I own a stock 323ti six cilinder ti with some suspension upgrades myself.
This kind of triggered my initial Idea of converting it to m3 spec again.

@groMMit1981 Robert, the owner/builder of this car, is also in IT. He, and I, find this work to be therapeutic, not to mention, fun.
