So i bought a 1996 328i 5-speed a few days ago. Here are some pics :

Any ideas for some first mods?

Looks Good

Too bad that I don't fit in a 3

Looks good, nice condition

. your OEM rims i miss mine are bent

. Any chance of selling them. Money's short for nicer rims, always liked my OEMs. Tired of my winters. Nice find

Possibly if you are still interested in a few months.

Thanks for the comments guys, the car was 9500, after taxes I paid a little over 10k.

I think I'm going to order the Shark Injector, anybody done that and can share experiences?

wow, that looks in really good shape.

it must feel nice to go from a 1.8 auto to a 2.8 5-spd.

enjoy.

**xsperf** · 11-05-2005, 11:42 AM

WHAT? 9500? dude, i dont know if anyone backed me up, but man you got JIPPED

**donald1476** · 11-05-2005, 11:45 AM

The scarcity of a 328i 5-speed and the condition of the car was enough for me to fork out a few extra dollars.

DEATH2000 · 11-05-2005, 11:56 AM

^^ yea man. I have a 98 328i in an auto, and i woulda gladly payed for a 5-spedd. Great find donald. I love the black on black man, thats just sexy. How do u like having an extra litre under the hood?

**donald1476** · 11-05-2005, 12:01 PM

I love it, but I wanna go fasta

**BMWLotAttendant** · 11-05-2005, 12:08 PM

How many miles?

Same, intake and underdrive pullies are a great way to start. Intake will make the car sound soo deep and throaty.

i disagree. the very first thing you should do for speed is an M50 intake manifold conversion from KOperformance (best price for whole kit). It has proven at least 10 rwhp on a 328. Then get the shark.

BTW, moving to car showroom.

BTWW: I LOVE YOUR CAR. so clean for a 96. exact same car as me except a 5-speed (smart bastard) and mine came with different wheels. good price for what it looks like you got.

How much does that kit usually run?
