    Default building a fast E34??

    535i 5spd in particular. what would one run in the 1/4 if i were to add the 4.27 rear diff, engine chip, dinan intake manifold, a full exhaust, and a CAI??

    Is a 50shot of N20 safe on their engines for long term ownage?


    Unfortunately im in Ca so i cant look into the possibility of a turbo/supercharger


    also this is a little offtopic to the thread, but has anyone had a local shop rebuild their motor? I figure that any E34 ill find will have 150k+ on the clock and need a rebuild.

    to bad you cant turbo, cali emissions are retarted. 535im is a fun ca, thats what i have, with those mods it will be fun to drive but i cant imagin to staggering 1/4 times, maybe 14s. and i have 170k on the clock on my m30 and it runs like a top!

    boy dont get me going on Cali emissions. just about every air intake is illegal for my DD truck except the one with the worst quality and fitment.(my MAF barely fits in the intake tube)

    The other option is to pickup an E36, but my issue there is that it will be kinda pricey for a 325 and it will have high miles and in need of a rebuild before being built up.

    15's would be more realistic i guess, but high 14's i dont think is too

    I thought supercharger install is easy enough to remove it for smog check every 2 years. dollar per dollar supercharger will be best bang for the buck..

    a 95 540i six speed would be a great starting point for a fast e34.
