  • My Calypso 325i in e36 flavour

    Hi chaps,


    I have been 'stoking' you lot for a long, long time and only recently after deciding to turn (or trying to) my passion into a small business I thought I better join and see what all those other people think and what their tastes are. But this is not relevant really....


    I was craving a road legal track car for ages, always knew it would be one with the blue and white badge but after failing to turn my old 323i into track car I decide to get something that was pretty much ready done. This is where my 325i comes. I wanted something with four doors, something easy on the eye and something with potential. This is why I went for the M50B25 powered 3 series.

    First thing first, I had to get it back to a state that I would be happy to drive it in. The de-chaving took a while. All fake CF, sh*t HU, clear indicators, white clocks, cheapo air intake had to go, cheap LCI black grills, some aftermarket AE lights with HID's and more... Soon after all that have been replaced I have found out that coilovers used were crap and right at the end of their life span so a set of second hand HSD's has been fitted...

    (phone quality, as there was nothing to be proud of)

        And how it looks today. Amber all around, no chavines. Just pure rough usability.

                    Weight loosing is on the cards too... I have a nice OMP bucket seat (need to get second one) I need to get it mounted and then all the leather is going to go soon after....

                    It will be... simplistic so to speak... I will be aiming for this kind of look:
