So it turns out...

[AlpineE30]

I don't have a 325is, I really have a 325i two door... Well according to my Bently Repair Manual VID decoder. So as you may know I am somewhat dissapointed.

[RPM Photography]

wow, that sucks...

[kelso]

whats the difference?

[catchuk]

Doesnt the "is" mean you have a better suspension. Which really isnt a big deal when you probably have or will modify it anyhow.

[AlpineE30]

I think that may be it, but also I think the rear end is different... but you're right about the suspension, cause I already have Bilstein Sport Shocks, and H&R Sport springs, so stock anything couldn't be better than that...

David, Britride01, would know. He told me all the differences the other day. Its a big list. I will tell him to chime in.

[SlickShift]

That sucks...you still love the car though. It's just like when I found out my 323i steptronic was actually slow :rofl:

[SergeK]

have you read the label on the doorjamb of the driver door?

[TheDarkSide]

OH well, so where is brit with the differences?

Limited slip also IIRC and a 3.73 diff.

but don't hold me to that.

[Panzer_M]

also every 325i I have seen has been a saloon.

what's the last 7 of your vin?

[JCapelo]

well according to everything labled on my car including the way it was badged my car is only a 325i 2dr also....But i have 3.15 lsd, heated seats....ect ect...


and on the e36 325is wasnt standard with sport suspension...

btw erik does have a 3.73 lsd

[AlpineE30]

have you read the label on the doorjamb of the driver door?
well it turns out that it does say "325i/A USA" so I do have a 325i.... and jeff I'm still not really sure what diff I have, cause remember I was able to go like 135, and I don't know if a 3.73 would take me that high.

[JCapelo]

ya when i had my e30 with a 3.73 i could only do like 118mph but i had an "e" motor.....with the "i" motor im sure you could go a little faster..

when i i had my 2.93 diff i did 139mph

[AlpineE30]

exactly, cuase I went at least 135 with some gear still left in it... so I highly doubt I have a 3.73, cause I still haven't actually looked at it yet...

[prophecy]

well i guess you know what this means.. gonna have to change that name

[AlpineE30]

haha yeah I got an idea for that... the new name is gonna be "325i(s)Bro"

[SlickShift]

well it turns out that it does say "325i/A USA"

Doesn't the "A" mean automatic? I thought you had a manual. Did you do a swap? :dunno:
