Save yourself the cost and complications, sell your 323 and buy an M3

since you most likely have an E36, i would tell you to just buy an E46 m3 as well. . .

It would be a lot easier and a lot cheaper to just buy an M3.

BMW modifications
Ohhhhh my gosh. Do NOT mess with the BMWs like that. These cars are highly controlled by so many sensors and computers that your car will be going crazy if you do something like that. I totally agree with the others...sell your car and buy an M3. Although...I have to say > an M3 isn't what its worked up to be

B/c the car is heavy and the horsepower isn't enough. Yes it is a fast car, but I guess its just because Im used to a Porsche thats much lighter in weight.
