The Car
The Dive Motorwerks BMW 325is is built on a lightweight shell. The BMW has a GM LS1 motor swap with a 6-speed T56 manual transmission. The BMW’s LS1 motor is modified with a custom head/cam combination, custom header, exhaust, and race tune. Toyo Tires are the tires of choice for the 325is race car. The A/C, radio, carpet, sound tar, sunroof and all interior trim have been removed. For safety, we have installed a full roll cage, racing seat with 6 point harness, fire extinguisher, and battery kill switch.
