It looks good. You might want to add the S600 grill and clear corners for more smooth look. Plus painting of side moldings and bumpers to match the color of your car.

I am talking about something like this, its an older model like urz too:

///S320 - that is a good point but i dont know if i wanna spend all that money on painting the car. If i did paint the car I would get S600 grill but I would then sand it down and paint it the same color are the car. I may get clearcorners but sometimes it seems to make the car look ricy. do yall think so?

moar - clear tail light retrofit is very complex and $$ and it just doesnt seem worth the money to me but I will be lowering the car to help handling and overall performance.

thanks for the comments guys.


Dyno sheets coming soon!!!

Not really. I've never seen an AMG badge on a Mercedes (at the dealership) that was not AMG tuned. There are tons of MB's sold with AMG rims that are not AMG tuned.

look dude, you are the one make fun of me, get some class. Its my car I can do what i want to it. It is NOT ricy, at least i made is classy and didn't put S600 like alot of people do.

i thought S32 is both creative and cool, and i'm not pretending to be something i'm not, its still a 3.2 liter car.

i assure I have seen lots of non AMG benz in houston with AMG badges from factory, 3 of my friends had it. It might be just a local thing. All had AMG rims and etc so its a legitimate claim.

its no different than putting a supersprint badge/plaque on your car if you have supersprint exhaust. yall are making way to big of a deal about this. its NOT the same things as putting M3 badge on non M3 3 series, that is different. Had i put S600 badge or something gay like that then yes yall would have a good point, but i didn't so lay off my back.

Actually I was selling my car at his place until i decided to keep it. I know Sanjay of course, who doesn't ? . I worked at autodynamics this past year and I will be doing so again in the summer so if you stop by during the summer you will probably see my car . Sanjay is the best. anyways ttyl

the rears are 275's !!! i love them, it makes the car look so agressive, i have the optional 18x9.5 rear wheels so they can actually take alot wider. I think 295 is possible on 9.5 inch rim (its giving me ideas ). i honestly dont need all that rubber with only a 6 banger, i can get excellent traction even in the rain WITHOUT limit slip differential so i think 275's will definately cut it for now.

I will be getting H&R springs or eibach springs (haven't decided) and I will also be getting the lowest possible Spring pads to help acheive the perfect amount of wheel gap. it should make car handle better, less sway, ride more firm, and also lower center of gravity quite a bit. i can't wait.

Personally, I think the S32 badge is a cool idea, but I would install it AFTER installing an atleast an AMG body kit, AMG exhaust and a lowering kit.

Dufus, so you changed the wheels----you posted your crap on that gaywebpage with 16"s


"are you ****ing stupid?" that is exactly my point ---why would al dude with a BMW be arguing on the benz board unless he is complete dufus----no one is interested, move on clown and now that you got wheels, get a life.

Omey, it's your car, so do whatever you want to your car to make it better the stock to tailor to your taste and budget. Just ignore the nonsenses opinions of some of the members here if they don't like your idea. Who cares? As long as the result make you happy.

i used to be OBSESSED with bmws (i had 95 E36 M3 modded to hell). but my tastes have grown up to bigger and better things (both literally and metaphorically).

Thanks for the support guys. I love my car and i honestly don't care about other peoples destructive comments, however I DO appreciate all the wonderful constructive critisism, its helping alot. I should have dyno graphs by wednesday or friday.

DYNO !!!!!

hey guys. here are the dyno graphs!!!

I was very impressed with the numbers, My auto M3 didn't even get these numbers and M3 motor is rated at 240HP not 230HP. and the torque on my M3 stock was 175ish and here its almost 190, These are pretty much E36 M3 3.2L numbers so i'm very happy.

the best numbers is the first graph (3rd run) with 189.7HP@ 6100rpm and 191.4 @ 4200rpm. very nice power band.


These dyno graphs are done on completely stock 320.

Thumbs up FIRST POWER MOD: INTAKE !!

Today I took out the carburator shaped stock air filter and put on a 9-inch K&N air cone filter today. install was not very hard at all and took only about 10 min for the filter portion of the install. The intake baffle removal with intake opening to engine bay took slightly longer (about 20 min more).

Impressions: WOW, the car all of a sudden has so much more torque, it just wants to rev real quick down low. The noise is amazing, it has a much more agressive bassy grunt than before and on the top-end its louder and more sports car sounding. Its still not insanely loud b/c the air box is still in tact, but with the exposed K&N filter now its definately a great improvement. Butt Dyno gives it about a 10HP/tq increase. Eventualy I will get rid of the whole airbox and get intake piping which should help further.

I will have pictures of the setup very soon.
