Newbie wants to Turbo

[Phat1983]

Hi

I want to turbo my 91 535i but my mach says this would create too much heat, drivelines issues and so forth, he recommended that I just sell the 5 and buy an E36 M3 which he said he can turbo the bejesus out of it if I wanted to. I sort of believe him bcos he his the best independant BMW mach in
Gauteng, but has anybody on the forum has had any other exp with a turbo on the 3.5 L motor.

Would appreciate your Help !

Use the search on top with 'turbo' or "M30 turbo"
and you will find out a lot of info like this

The general question you have to ask yourselves is wht kind of car you want.
And how much money you are willing to spend for such project.
If you tell us how much money you want to spent, for sure some proposals will come up.

Thanks will read up about that, Money is not too much of a problem as I bought the car for ZAR 30000 (USD4400) but have spent about ZAR 100 000 (USD 14 500) on it so far (selling would be out of the question). I originally wanted an E34 M5 but could not find a clean one and as i am a bit impatient I couldn't wait either so i bought the 535i. I am not a 1/4 mile racer but a top speed of 300+ would be nice. I also love the E34's shape, space, grace, comfort, handling (as soon as I can sort out the rear end, on mines it is a bit loose)

You could buy a kit.

Although i fancy my self as a decent DIY'er I would never attempt a job of this magnitude myself.

Be sure to watch the speedo from 1m19s to 1m25s:

Get subframe inserts for the rear end. Biggest impact for the amount of money spent.
