Phoenix's '95 328i vert

[Phoenix]

Hey guys,

Here's a few pic's of my Beastie! She's a '95 328i manual vert with branch, free flow and BMC Flat pan filter.

Schweet ride man...looks very neat.

I'm loving it! I also want a centre brake light on my boot! Some clear indicators and a M3 bumper would make the car a real showcase!

 

[DonovanPorter]

nice tail pipes would look great

 

[Phoenix]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Still want to do the M3 bumper and rear tail lights.

Thinking of putting chrome tips on the tailpipes but not sure yet.

M3 Exhaust, pipes, just my 2c comment

That is a good looking car you have, but I would recommend replceing the headlights with OEM ones, the aftermarket ones just don't cut it.

 

[Phoenix]

I'm just nervous that if i change back to OEM headlights, i don't like them. I bought the car with the angel eyes, so i don't have OEM's and i don't want to waste money by buying OEM's that i won't like on the car.

 

[neelsie88]

IMO I think the chrome angels looks good on the black car, still need to change the side indicators and rear tail lights

A nice set of OEM lights with a HID kit, that would look properly awesome.

In my opinion the chrome lights look a bit to blingy for a BMW, but hey to each his own.

If you keep these headlights get yourself an HID kit, if you don't already have one, as halogens and projects don't go that well together.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Still focusing on the performance side at the moment but will got to the visuals late next year.

I have no clue what power she is making at the moment because she's never been dyno'd.

These stay beautiful for some reason! Great car man :thumbsup:

Oh no! get ride of those horrid headlights pronto! OEM or DEPO headlights with clear indicators and you're done!

That looks like the stock exhaust box on there which is not a freeflow system, are you sure you have aftermarket headers or are they the stock 328i headers? The only thing extra you should do to the engine is a chip to optimise the setup.

 

[Phoenix]

I never fitted the parts but my macky says it a branch and freeflow system. Personally i think it's stock because it has the butterfly in the right hand exhuast exit....But at the same time, when i plant her and Vanos engages, she makes a corsa with freeflow sound quiet......

i wouldn't mind it not being a free flow because that'd mean i've got a really good motor with some awesome potential. I gave my friend with a e36 328i sedan (325tds gearbox) 3 car lengths over one city block.....

Or do you think that this is What should have happened?

The only thing extra you should do to the engine is a chip to optimise the setup.

What chip do you recommend? I'd like to enquire around cost of the tuning etc with a trusted tuner.

 

[Phoenix]

@Lev - I see you're situated in JHB, why not take a drive through to Dastek? They're situated between Centurion and Pretoria. The UniQ, IMO, is the best chip ever made!

What's your opinion Gizmo?
