    Default Why

    Why not a 3 series. The 3 series I just dont liek that much, small car. I need room and since I am going to have this car forevvvver why not get a midsize. I think its an American triat, go BIG. I also do like the lines of my car, my driver seat has never giving me sitting troubles as far as the back upper and lower back which is soo important to me(my back is tweeked a lil). Also I have a fast old muscle car in the garage. I do like the Camaro but I wanted to tune something not as valuable as that were parts are available.

    Thanks for the link bfd and your input.
    McWatters I know what you mean exactly!

    Billion pa knows why Im modifying the car, because I can, its fun and end results will teach me what certain modifications do to cars which helps in working on cars.
    Billion, what kind of suspension worl did you carry out? Springs, shocks, thrust arms, camber kits ?
    I has thinking about a rack and pinion swap but thats alot of advanced mod that inquires tools I dont have like a torch and welder plus skills. But I was thinking aluminum thrust arms, springs, shocks, and camber kits. I definetly have to get rid of that slack in the steering for sure.

    Thanks for all your input fellas,

    Scott

    Default one more article

    I guess if you really want 700-800+ horses out of an E34, why use a 535i? If you're going to go through all this trouble, why not sell the car and find yourself a nice E34 540i.

    Dinan, who has way more money than 99.9999% of us here, raced an E34 540i, albeit with mix results. I recall his problem is the weight and size against the competition.

    Still, here's another article to read:
