About the sluggish part, what do you expect from a 2.5? A car that heavy needs at least 250 bhp for a satisfactory dinamic experience. 2.5 is a good engine for a 3 series.
@HardlyExotic 9 күн бұрын
Yes you are right, it's not a gripe, just an observation form the 2.8 (not 2.5)

Hey man thanks for the very helpful vid. if i will only be doing an m50b25 manifold and custom exhaust and tune for my m52b25 engine, do you think i should upgrade to pink injectors?
@HardlyExotic 15 күн бұрын
No problem! I don't think you will max the stock injectors out unless you add cams and ecu tuning

Think we all do mate. But time and funds often mean most of us need to finish it and make it usable, as opposed to perfect! It's holding up okay, tired in a few places but will last a couple more years yet. The avus underneath is a cool colour but very tired. Oh blimey that's mad 👌😎

Do you use an oil cooler to keep temps down on track?
@HardlyExotic Ай бұрын
Currently no. For 3 or 4 years I ran 10w40 and would only do 5/6 hard laps, now I run 10w60 and still just keep to 6/7 hard laps, and always do a full cool down lap. An oil cooler would definitely be useful and a future mod, also considering an s54 oil pump

what a great video steve lovely car and shows how well they are made from the mileage and with these its not as much the mileage its more the tlc for me and hows the wrap holding up after 4 years? add love to own a e36 touring but they getting so rare now and trying to find a tidy one is getting hard to come by as my saloons not most practical but you still cant beat e36s stands out from cars of today now but looking forward to more videos on this and the rest of your fleet

Thanks as ever mate. They definitely do need a lot of love, but it really depends how fussy you are, can spend hours making them look mint if you really want to! The wrap is okay, I wraoped to to a good standard and took a lot of time with it, but really since then I've abused it and not really cared for it so it's showing its age lol

Nice touring! Thanks for the video. I have a 99 528iT, was wondering what you thought about intake manifolds versus stock m52tub28 it has now. M50 or m54b30 with adapter for stock wired throttle body? Any benefits to going ms43 ecu with new gas pedal and TB? Thanks!
@HardlyExotic Ай бұрын
Thanks! That's not a mod I've ever done, but I've seen a few people do it. The b28TUB has good punchy power across the rev range unlike the single vanos which is lack lustre above 5k. (my E38 daily Is a B28TUB). I think you'd have to give it a go! If you need a manifold I have some if you're in the UK 🙂
