My new 3.2TI

[kuleinc]

Mines a 6/96, so big stupid looking side markers and no heated seats or M3 wheel. At least my wheel is leather wrapped though... I also have to convert it to a 5 speed. I can't wait to hear your exhaust did you get that clip yet?

[3.2TI]

No sound clip yet, will try to get that going.

My coils finally arrived giving me a chance to finally install my RSM's and Style 5s'. $#ty picture but I will have some more next week.

How does the ride quality compare to the stock sport suspension?

[3.2TI]

Night and day difference. My OEM's were not handling the weight change and shifting felt horrible.

[kuleinc]

That looks like it sits just right, what suspension did you use? Stock rears and something else for fronts or?

[3.2TI]

Koni full adjustable coilovers, rears are not height adjustable only the fronts.

[kuleinc]

We do a lot of Mini Coopers at work and we always put the Koni yellow sports on the S models and the FSD Gold Koni's on the base models... Do your shocks have the adjustment deals on top?

[3.2TI]

Yes they have adjustable damper and these are the krome edition.

Clean swap! Can't wait to hear the exhaust note of that thing! =D

[Marv17]

any sound clips of the exhuast yet?

[eurohb]

Damn dude that ish is on point!

The stock M52 came with a 3.15. A 3.73 way too short. That's why first gear is all wheelspin. You need a taller diff. The best choice in my opinion is the 3.25 off an E28 535i 5-speed. You will need to swap out the rear cover and you already know about the axles.
Are you using the stock rear subframe and control arms? How about the brakes?
I am in part collection phase of my swap. I am almost ready to get started. I plan to document and take pictures of the whole process and post it here.

Bump for my old car! (snif snif)

Looks like 3.2 is taking good care of her and letting her enjoy the nice weather. Keep up the good work!
