It's not that hard to get an E34 light, well light as a 3 series, strip the interior, light weight wheels, take out ac, radio, sound insultation, etc.



Buy a 540i and then do the s/c like I am going to do, I'll be pumping out 440hp and 400lb-ft, obviously do the suspension and brake upgrades first. After the s/c is put on, it might be more fun to drive then the E46 M3 coming in November.

Well, I kicked ass at the track. The 535i is powerfull, fast and... heavy!

Yes, this bieutifull beast is heavy, and even with a lot of HP (turbo, supercharger...), it will still be heavy.

I am thinking about a 325i more and more... And the E36 is FAST and light.

Well, I could sell the E34 and buy an E36... Nannnn
I think I will stop the upgrades on the E34, even bring it back to original shape and get a E30 325i... that should do.

Mosport was great, the Headers really gave an advantage on the acceleration side.

'89 535i
