Revamping a 1987 BMW 325 IS: A Five-Day Transformation

In a thrilling automotive saga unfolding at Donut, the team embarks on a daring mission to overhaul a 1987 BMW 325 IS in just five days. Their goal? To craft a masterpiece that BMW themselves might envy. With the precision of a surgeon, they transplant an s54 engine from the E46 M3, enhancing it with high-octane upgrades like high compression pistons and Shri cams to unleash a roaring 340 horsepower. This isn't just a car build; it's a symphony of power and precision.

Under the expert guidance of E30 maestro Chris Castro, every component of the BMW undergoes a meticulous makeover. From the gas tank to the steering rack, no bolt is left unturned in the pursuit of automotive perfection. The car's bay is painted and streamlined, the undercarriage coated to defy rust, and the suspension beefed up with Ground Control coilovers and aluminum control arms. It's a ballet of engineering, transforming a classic into a modern marvel.

As the project hurtles towards completion, the team dives into the transmission, subjecting it to the exquisite ritual of vapor honing for a factory-fresh gleam. Every detail matters, down to the bolts that secure this automotive masterpiece together, replaced with newly plated ones. With each passing moment, the BMW metamorphoses from a mere shell into a roaring beast, ready to conquer the asphalt with its newfound power. The anticipation builds, the excitement palpable as the team races against time to bring this automotive magnum opus to life.
