This is a 1997 BMW 328 Precision Turbo. This car has a lot of extra parts to support the turbo. It was built by an experienced, professional mechanic. The car has no mechanical errors or problems whatsoever; it runs and drives 100%. This powerhouse drives like an arrow and is fast as a bullet, making 550 horsepower and 410 foot-pounds torque to the rear wheels at 19 PSI (it can make more). This vehicle was tuned by one of the best, RK Tunes. It was built to race or drift, but is still a reliable car to drive everyday. The car was completed by June of this year. It has only been driven for three months with this set-up. I hate to see it go, but I need to sell it due to financial reasons. The car drivetrain was replaced with a 1995 M3 driveshaft with a six bolt CV style, because of using a 1995 large-case rear differential from a M5 limited slip differential with a 3.91 gear ratio. The rear end was completely changed to a 1998 M3 lower arms and 38mm half shaft to fit the M5 rear differential. Also, the intake manifold came from a 1995 M3 (OBD 1), for better, high-end torque. It has a 1998 M3 camshaft. The engine head was machined to make sure it was flat. A High Boost Cut Ring Head Gasket from CES with a Copper Spacer Gasket, also from CES, was installed to lower compression. ARP 2000 10mm Head Stud Upgrade Kit was also installed. The car is fitted with a new coil-over Megan Racing Suspension with dampers control. The vehicle has a Big Break Kit. The break calibers are 4 piston Brembo from Porsche with E46 M3 rotors in front and E38 750i rear rotors with Stoptech break pads. All brackets for the breaks and differential were made by Rally Road. The oil cooler cap was also from Rally Road. I can write about how many parts were added to this car for the next few hours, but it will be much easier for me to list them below for your review: 1997 BMW E36, 328IS Turbo part list: 1.

UUC Motorworks Exhaust More than $15,000 has been invested in this vehicle through parts, labor, and tuning. You can check the items listed above in order to get a better idea of pricing. In terms of the body, the car needs a new clear coat on the hood and roof. The rear bumper also needs to be painted. I am sure I have accidentally left a few parts out from this list.
