Dyno day this week!

I have conteplated that option for 3+ years while my car sat with over 15 G's in parts....... Decided to finsh her though and after a full tune/shake down and run her once at the track B4 I sell her. Pretty much like you though, the thought is running in my head.

Ya I hear ya man, part of me is saying you've spent so much time and money to let this go now but the other part is saying, the money is already spent, time to move on to bigger and better things. Don't get me wrong I love my car, have had fun, and learned a great deal about but theres only so far you can go with a fwd car with a bad tranny. Plus I think my taste in cars is maturing, I dont want such a loud car anymore haha

But who knows, maybe when it finally gets tuned I won't want to give it up!

LOL, I have had my times........ I need to move up for my DD, 325 BMW is what I am searching for for a DD. My wife drives an Escalade and I am too old to drive mine as a DD. But I must say it is fun to go out with her every once and awhile

325? why not 330?

i drove a 330Ci and liked it, but the bimmers have a few things i find obnoxious... floor mounted gas pedal, and an absurdly low steering effort. plus the steering has a crazy range of motion... you have to hand-over-hand the wheel just to make a right turn.

$$$$ I dont have, just closed on my hause in JAN and bought my wife an Escalade........ I get my car for now..........

I drove my buddy's 02 330Ci and was unimpressed. It had plenty of power but didn't feel as tight as my MSP. The steering was heavier and the shifter was hard, you almost need a map to find the gears.

The steering should be heavier, it's a heavier car, and it's not going to feel as tight as a MSP because it's more of a luxurious car that the 'boy racer' feel of the MSP.

i hate the luxury steering feel. who wants to hand-over-hand three times when they turn at an intersection? i dunno, seems like a hassle, not a luxury. i dont get it.

My buddy that had the Bimmer REALLY liked my MSP, the handling and the way it ran with only 170hp.

I think a 135i must be a bit different... there's no hassle driving it, it's just fast, quiet, and smooth
