E30 dash, gearbox and engine are the big ones, but this is too vague a question if you ask me. "Modified" could mean anything from merely having a non-standard gear knob to a Buick V8 engine and the chassis from another car.

Let's forget I wrote that initial post eh? :lol: although an e30 dashboard does have better dash lighting, so you could argue that makes it a performance upgrade? No, didn't think so :goodnight

Mine is modified a little but in period. Was a 320 now its going to be 323. Only way to tell is to measure the crank. Also the suspension is lowered and 15 inch wheels. Other than that she is factory. Woops, forgot I changed the front discs to 323 vented.
