- Watch the video that accompanies the story in the April 2011 issue of eurotuner magazine. We took a $2300 1992 BMW 325is and added a series of performance parts to try and reduce the lap times. With better brakes, suspension, intake, exhaust, engine chip, 17" wheels and racing slicks, we were able to improve the car by 25sec per lap.
All the parts were supplied and fitted by Turner Motorsport. Professional driver Michael Marsal was at the wheel, and we used Monticello Motor Club as our race track

I had plenty of cars, but I just love the E36, I can't get enough of these cars :) A timeless design and years ahead of it's time... Just the sound of the BMW inline six is like no other... Any E36 or BMW owner will understand :)
And if the inline six breaks you can fit a LS2 under the hood
+x123LPlay and thats not intresting
I have done everything to my e36 that you did to this one if not more. This has given me the confidence to finally pop my track cherry! Thanks ET and TMS!
Must be nice to do all these upgrades at once! I used to own a '95 325is, Turner Motorsport is a great tuner.
This was a great video, very encouraging. I race SCCA Solo in my '94 and currently am working on freeing up air flow (i.e intake, exhaust). Next event weekend seems promising =D Thanks for the video
E36s are so great. I've had it 6 years and before I got it and shipped it down south it used to live in Boston. I have a bunch of service receipts from the old Turner shop. You can't beat having suspension reinforcements welded on by the same company that developed them!
Great video guys!! Great concept that proves your parts. Other companies in the industry should be doing the same. It gives the consumer (like me) confidence in your products. 5 Stars.
I'm really jealous of y'alls job. Great work, that was very cool
Really? Interesting to know. I haven't done much interior work on my bimmer, first time I tried though I wrecked some parts. Think it's important to have the guide! Regardless, it would have been very interesting to see the gains made after some nice weight reduction! I like the video style of incremental improvements and the resulting time improvement - very cool to see. Man racing slicks are effective!
You can get even more power out of this engine than what was done here
that is bad ass. well done for a car that was under $10 000 and it sounds amazing
great video that shows waht you can do to...basically any car.
WOW this was ironic. I just got a '93 and am basically planning to do the exact same thing, budget track car. I have all those mods in the works
You're absolutely right, but they said "track day car" not "race car"
You guys realize that the 325is had a professional driver, right? He was driving with amateurs on the track. If you or i were to try this, we would be behind by 7 seconds or so.
lol, the mods costs twice the car!!
... very nice mods by the way... Nowadays im getting porsche calipers + hawk race pads + brake lines + bilstein pss9 . I have an audi s3 chipped with exaust and k&N cold air intake... so i guess im getting almos the same prep of that bmw.
thinking of getting this as my first car any think this is a bad idea ? if so why?
dope ass video.. I have a four door, same color did the paint job myself and body work.. your video is very encouraging, I think im gona tweak mine out a bit... and keep the interior lol.. Ill try to post some pics of my projecst including my beamer and my 69 thunderbird with a 429cc. keep up the good work...
awesome
Yes, the car was $2300... but what did the mods cost?
I'm guessing we're somewhere around $10-15k total.
Great video nonetheless. 6:57
what was 10k later, not a bad track day car at all
What was the total dollar amount for all the upgrades?
sir what kind of air intake that you put on it? thanks
which cobalt pads front and back? XR1? XR2?
awesome!
still though. BMWs are often like Legos in many ways - stripping out and then putting back the interior is that much of a task, it doesn't take long, and that is a good thing when you absolutely NEED the interior for street driving (if in your country it's illegal to have interior bits missing). however, maximum legal tint all around is an easier way of solving this - unless you're pulled over and thoroughly checked, no one will know :D
quick question this is 1994? if it is. its same as my car.ehehe. good job.bmw nice
exhaust mod was only catback ? or decat maybe?
interested in tuning my 1995 325is, what parts do u recommend? where is the best place to buy them?
How much were all of the mods?
how much hp in the end?
how much money did u put into it?
@MGlassco There ya go. Don't need a $100k car to go to the track.
Long live the E36!
name of song please?
nice video - good marketing job ;)
thats my car
@IDannyxss
under 10k for a car that can smoke some much more expensive cars
TMS is the best :)
Porsche says pass = success :)
I have more respect for the e36 :D
why the fuck didn't they strip the interior and put in a bucket seat as the first mods? stripping the car is a FREE upgrade, and it compliments your handling, acceleration AND braking. you can't be stupid enough to NOT do it -.-
Trackday car, not track car.
nope nothing to do with irony...
professional doesn't mean good lol. There are plenty of amateur drivers that could probably beat professional lap times :P
