I am pleasantly surprised at how much quicker the car is now, although it is more of a handful when getting on the power.
I briefly considered hybreds but am glad I didn't as mines now about at its limit with power versus grip & anything more would have needed some suspension upgrades. |
Good stuff, basically I have manual 2007 335i which I've had from new. It needs a few bob spent on it now, new injectors, suspension refresh and new turbo's due to a bad waste gate rattle. Still got this far (car has 120,000 miles). Had the decision to off load the car for something newer or persist and get the issues sorted. Nothing really grabs me new car wise ( for reasonable money anyways), so have decided to upgrade. Plan is
New turbo's, not sure for OEM Mitsubishi's or MTurbo ones from ML performance for a little more outlay( £1400 as opposed to £1750)?
New index 12 injectors
New VRSF inlet, Intercooler, catless DP's
New VRSF oil catch can and RB PCV
Bilstein B12 pro kit plus H&R sway bars, M3 subframe bushes, TRV lower control arms
Get a walnut blast and top off with a JB4.
This all to be completed in one go! I'm not looking for crazy power increases just a car that I can enjoy for another 3 years without the dread of a big repair bill.
