What kind of parts are you looking for?

well, its the M50 engine, so engine wise, anything for the 3 series should theoretically fit...

body kit selection, suspension components or interior is much more restricted

because most people don't buy a 525 for performance. they'd buy a larger engined car.

Plenty of suspension upgrades out there... Many springs and shock combos too choose from cheap KYB to Bilsteins to Konis then Vogtland, H&Rs, Meyle, and specials from Hartge, Dinan & Alpina. Pelican Auto, as mentioned, a great source as well. Bought a few things from them at very reasonable prices.

You're half-right.

You're missing the fact that the M50 is in so many E36 cars, plus it's in the same engine family as the S5x engines.

So S50 cams, 540 MAF, 19# injectors, and a custom tune are the way to go before engine swap and FI.

If you want to modify a BMW buy a 3 series, not the 5 series. 5 series are for old cogers or families.

BHAHA yeah right.

21 here and there a tons younger. 5ers are more substantial than 3ers, I sure as hell didn't want an E36.

21 here. I could have bought an E36 recently, but decided to get an E34 again instead. It's so much more rare that you see a nicely modified E34, and they are a nice practical size while still being somewhat tossable.

It looks like I might be picking up an e30 318 to add to the stable. There's nothing like a nice, light car that you can throw around and not give a damn about. That car will be for traveling back and forth to Boston, the friend I'm getting it from is building a twin turbo camaro and I'm going to help him out with it. Nice little 4 cylinder commuter. The e34 will never get the mileage I need to be able to make that trip affordable. At this rate, it's almost cheaper to take the train.

You ask about "performance parts" like a bodykit and lighting.

You get the appropriate answer.
