Anyone any thoughts on whether or not this would be a good idea as a track day special? |

Funnily enough I know that car. Came across it when I was supporting a friend race in track day trophy at setterton in October time
Chatted with Mr De-Jesus who owns it (great name) and seemed a nice guy. Sounds like he has done many races this season. What was odd was that he clearly had plenty of money or support, with a huge car transporter cross motor home the size of an articulated lorry transporting just the little BMW From what I saw the car had a few battle scars but seems sound enough. We beat him in the race in our 325i which was more standard but De-Jesus didn't have a clean race. This car was actually for sale just after the race and had a for sale upon it over the weekend. Believe he wanted £4995 so a little bit cheaper. May be worth a punt! |

No turbo Shim, think it stands for "Touring", from the old 2002 days
They're not sophisticated these first gen Compacts, as they don't have the usual E36 Z-axle multilink suspension and are basically an E30 in disguise, but they're good fun to punt along |
