1990 bmw 325 i convertible

I just brought a 1990 325 i convertible.I think Ill like the car(dont drive it yet) Its got over 230,000miles on it. I plan on getting some body work done and install a sound system. The 1 thing i need help with is performance. The car is a RAT I need some FIRE. Suggestions please.Im also looking for M3 body kit that I can get for it.

welcome to the E30!

you can look for parts and performance accessories at bmpdesign.com and bavauto.com

The first thing I did after the body work was to has have the power plant rebuilt. An excellent machine shoppe bored my block and turned the crank for about $700. I obtained new pistons and bearing for $600. Had to get a new(factory rebuilt) cyl.head for another $700. Add $500 for my time and $2500 does it upfront. I am very happy with my new performance-like new. Also took opportunity to check out everythine from firewall forward. Most all in good shape. Converts were the only models with battery under hood. Check out batt tray carefully. Can have severe damager if prev. owner ignored. Suggest a plastic marine battery box cut down to about a 2 inch height to put the batt into to catch condensing acid venting and stop further tray deterioration. Thanks
