ya, Sleepers are essentially stock looking cars. Gutted interiors, race seats and turbos sticking out of the hood kinda miss the mark in the "sleeper" world.. Sleepers are stock cars until you look under the hood. Still a cool car

It's very hard to get a top mount turbo to fit under the hood for the m5x/s5x engines because the engine is angled 30° towards the exhaust side shock tower (not much room on the exhaust side). But yea this car has a huge cutout in the hood, mine has a lot smaller of a hood cut out

Soooo the 328 probably is even more significant to Bmw than the (e36) M3. The 328 line of cars specifically are a multi generation long class wining car for bmw, that has been their sports car base line for almost 100 years now (1936 and on}. Just something you should know; Also the m52 IS out of the 328i e36.. In addition to being the 2.8L used in the E39 and Z3 of that era.

People are annoying they say "OMG it's not a sleeper since it doesn't appear stock" but NO, a sleeper just is a car you don't expect to be fast, that's all, it doesn't need to look stock or anything like that, it needs to be unassuming. And as much as y'all like to say it's not a sleeper, and that there's a turbo sticking out of the hood, when you're gonna see this car on the road, you're not gonna notice any of that, all you're gonna see is an e36 with faded paint, mismatched colors and wheels and you're just gonna think "wow, another clapped out e36 that makes less power than a Honda Odyssey", and that's the point of a sleeper.
