Who knows. I guess ill find out later. lol.


I want to keep my single tip stromung. Its a 2.25" catback. I wonder if it will sound good with the s52.

TT, wasn't that you had went to the track day that was posted a few days ago?

If so, what are you running for suspension? upgraded front and normal ti rear?


and hugo, i thought you got the larger diameter piping made available in the same GB? cause im pretty sure 2.25 is the standard.

Either way, ill let you hear the 2.8 when its done, that'll give you a rough idea if it'll sound good, should be in about 2 weeks or so

The pipe was a 2.0" Marko and I got the 2.25"

For some reason his was sh!t but mine worked perfectly! And its awesome

[StealthBimmer]

Good luck on the sale and the swap. BTW where did you find the S52 package deal?

[HuGo]

One of those local junkyards/shops.

[Philly]

he's in cali, so those M wrecks are probably a dime a dozen and around every corner! lol

and your right hugo, i forgot the diameters, but either way i will get you good idea of what the muff sounds like with the 6cyl soon

Yup, I've been to the track quite a bit lately, and finally got the car to start hooking up. I currently have M3 front H&R Sport springs with Koni adjustables and Ti specific H&R Sport rear w/ Bilstein Sports.

and it tracks no problem, no overthetop unpredictable under/oversteer??
So if i upgrade my front springs, based on your experiences, I should be fine for quite awhile eh?
ive already got heavy duty CA,TR and BJ's... as well as Bilstien sports (which i believe are just E36 specific, not 318 specific)

Congrats Hugo, wanna place a bet on who gets their swap done first? I still have to sell a car and find a donor, so you have a nice head start.

jess, do a 2.5 swap and boost the bajeezus out of it

I think you'll be fine.

[HuGo]

TT racing, will i be fine with 318ti bilsten shocks and h&r sport springs?

[atlanta318ti]

I can get 26 mpg in my M3 Sedan on the highway, but that's with no major mods except a CAI. But I'll never give up my trusty TI w/M package. I love the M3 power and handling, but nothing beats taking the TI out (even stock) on twisting back roads. And boy, I'd love to swap the M44 for an S52. BTW, does anyone have a TI in Atlanta with an S52 I could take for a spin to see how understeer and handling is affected before I sink major $$$ into a swap? It's weird asking to drive someone's 332TI, though. It sort of feels like asking your buddy if you can have sex with his wife or girlfriend.

Like harold once said,

"two things in this world you never lend out, your car and your wife/girlfriend."
