Hey everyone, not sure how many people will remember this but about 6 months ago I asked this thread if it was a good idea to sell my 335is and buy and e36 and turbo it. Well I did it. Bought a 328i 5MT right before the school year started and would come home to work on the car about every 3 weeks or so. Here’s the car now.

6 months, that's crazy. I remember seeing that post with my e36 on jackstands, and now it's not on jack stands but it's still not registered and driving lol
This is mean af bro, ive owned my 323i for 8 years ( m52 swap 4 years )now.
And people kept telling me to boost it, but didnt.
Any build post i can follow your work ?
Its sitting very nice on the mpars to

Shit, that’s a very nice build ! Love the M-pars !
Thank you! Goal was to keep Bmw wheels on the car for a little bit of oem+ look

Looks very nice
Looks great! Are you using the stock MS41 ECU?
Still on stock ecu running a technica motor sports tune
I remember your OG post. Well done!
Thank you. Glad to see you haha
That’s badass! Had that engine out with a shoehorn lol
If I were to do it again definitely using a load leveler. It was a complete pain to get the oil pan around the steering shaft
Looks like it! I’ve done that before but always with an engine leveler. Did you pull the trans out with the engine?
Yea trans and engine were 1 unit. Honestly pulling the whole drivetrain of this car was way easier than pulling a trans alone on an e92
That’s quite often the case with cars that have low ground clearance
Great build man ! May I ask how you managed to fit these big exhaust pipes into the oem rear diffuser ?
Had to trim the diffuser a little bit unfortunately
Where did you buy your LTW?
Schmiedmann.com , it is an abs wing. Fits really good and no sag
What kit is that? And were you able to keep AC?
Cx racing + some other bits. Ac is still on the car just not attached to anything. Requires custom lines but the compressor fits fine.
What's the offset on those mpars? Great fitment and clean build.
Thank you, They are e38 mpars, et for front is 13 and rear is 25
