Hi there,
New to the forum but not to BMWs. I have owned my 97 Ti for around 3 years now and to be honest didnt really give it driving attention due to my other toys. The car was mainly used as a run about by my girlfriend, however around a month ago the headgasket went ; and this got me thinking.
I am now in the process of doing a transplant with a M52 328 Sport engine along with big brake conversion, suspension a few other goodies including a Remap and LSD. I think i am going to love this car if i can get the handling right the plan is to use ZM3 rear suspension with the 328 sport front.
Bodywork wise I have a M3 bumper and sideskirts on the way and i have a sport rear bumper minus the diffuser which i may leave as i have a diff cooler which may look quite wild, trial and error. As for the wheels im still not sure I have a set of 17'' BMW split rims and a set of AC 18'' type twos but again trial and error.
