In late 2004 we acquired a '92 325is that was in need of some work. Sporting a full Rieger body kit and custom PTG paint, it looked great from the outside but pretty much every mechanical aspect of the car needed attention. Over the course of winter, the following items were replaced, along with numerous maintenance items we won't list here:

.: Suspension :.
- Bilstein Sport  struts and shocks
- H&R Race Springs
- M3 lower control arm bushings
- Racing Dynamics strut brace
- AA rear shock tower bar
- Racing Dynamics sway bar kit (front/rear)
- LTW x-brace bar

.: Engine :.
- Schrick Racing camshafts
- Complete racing valve train kit from VAC Motorsport
- 3-deg angle valve job
- VAC Motorsport head gasket
- Supersprint exhaust
- PAR Cold Air Intake
- TMS performance ECU chip

.: Brakes :.
- Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors
- Porterfield R4S pads

.: Wheels/Tires :.
- Haman PG2 17" wheels with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 225/45Z-17 tires

Over the course of this winter, we are planning to stroke and bore out the block to over 3.0L with all-new internals. We also acquired complete S52 engine and drivetrain that will serve as a backup platform for this application.
While this is still work in progress, you may actually see this car at this year's driving events. Check back often for more updates as this project is far from over.
