e3? what is that?

The chassis is an e36 but varient 7. varients 5 (ti), 7 (Z3/M roady), and 8 (Z3/M coupe) all use the semi-trailing arm rear suspension, so when you go to order the coilover kit make sure to specify Z3 not just e-36 (which is the sedan/coupe, 325, 328, 323, and M3) fronts are the same rear is different. Here's the spec's on the M52TU B25 (M52 family, TU-technical update for the double vanos, and B25 for the 2.5 liter)

165hp at 5500rpm and 181ft-lbs at 3500rpm. I wanted to have this classed and had discussed this with Josh, but since I wasn't going to run it I let it go back burner.
