This car was sold to a new owner  
  This car is a fully-equiped 5 speed 9000 Turbo with the high performance Aero package and without traction control. I can remember the first modification that I made to the car - a cold air intake K&N filter. I had high hopes for this simple modification, but unfortunately it did not yield the improvements that I had hoped for. However, it did launch me in a direction that I continue today.

Soon after the air filter, I installed an Abbott ECU, Abbott high flow intercooler, and Swedish Dynamics (Fox) stainless cat-back exhaust system. Equipped with these modest changes, I set off for a day of performance driving as Sears Point Raceway with Russell Racing. I had a great day of fun and the car performed well in an essentially stock form pacing and passing two other BMW's in my grouping (330ci and older M3 convertible). However, I quickly realized that my brakes and suspension were not up to the task as the brakes began to overheat and the suspension was too sloppy. Given the car's performance this day at the track, I set out to build a car that would take on the best of them. I think that you will find as you peruse this Web site, the car is very impressive now.
