VERY NICE!!! I really like it

"328 engine" What's the reason for the change? old one broke or... why did you not sell it and get a 328 wouldn't that be cheaper?

"H&R springs 40-15" I getting these too, what Koni absorbers did you get with them and how much hanlding difference have you noticed?

[Lil]

[Lil]

Thank you very much.
power delivered from the 1.6lt engine was poor (just 105ps) still it was my first car and I love it. Now I have my beloved car with double power .

I have these Koni Sport absorbers:



It made quite a difference. The car is much more stiffer now!
My next move will be a set of Eibach anti-roll bar kit (28mm front & 21mm rear) to decrease body roll.

[BobbyE36]

I understand, it was why i was asking.

Sometimes i feel like i want a little more engine, but i don't want to sell my car. However i think my car consumes enough fuel as it is, so a 320 is a good compromise i guess.

[Lil]

Trust me, it's a big compromise! In open-road/highway the 2.8lt engine runs consuming... almost plain air! And there are 80nm of torque more to make you smile!

[Lil]
