Worthwhile 325iC Upgdrades

["Goldstein, Robert" <Robert.Goldstein@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I now understand why so many people on the thread constantly upgrade their
cars.  I have only added a few things and the increased performance has been
very noticeable.  I love how I am transforming my basic convertible into a
more aggressive car, however it is driving me to spend MORE money!  HELP!  

I highly recommend the following:

1)  JC Chip - ($100 - JC pre-Oct. '97 "fire sale") The car runs smoother,
has more power and feels great!
2)  M3 Exhaust - ($150) Less back pressure and more response at the high end
3)  Strut Tower Brace -($100)  Wow!  Made a huge difference.  Cannot believe
how tighter the car feels...or how much "flex" was in the convertible body
(NOTE: We had to jack the car on one side to push the strut towers closer by
.5" in order to get the brace installed)

Next on the list....

4)  M3 Suspension - The whole enchilada - Shocks, springs, sway bars etc.
5)  M3 Wheels - Need 17" to finish off

Yes, maybe one day I will buy a REAL M3, but for now, I like my 325iC "with
an attitude."
