Dnz

I dont think the engine will be the problem, it will be everything else.. mainly need stronger everything.. Like if you got an E36 you should definately try and get reinforcement plates for your subframe..

Yeah, id go with a bigger engine. And then get it bored out..and chipped

Or if you want to blow all this money on a turbo, go sell yuour car and buy an M3. Coz when you get more power, you also need to make sure your car can handle the power, acceleration as well as braking and safety wise /tyres/suspension..

I'd definately make sure everything else is up to scratch.

that figure is probably including other mods..

Probably need to upgrade quite a few parts so it can handle the power. Coz a turbo aint much good without a tranny! hahah

superchargers have a quick pickup, which will be good in nz since its a traffic light racers country heheh

you could take appart a bunch of pens and...

you can also mess with the gearing, so that can give you better power down low.. unless you NEED to drive over 200, then ignore it!

from what ive read, everyone with bimmers likes H&R springs on koni shocks..

My 2 cents without official referencing.

ACS are best tho... expensive as hell..

or M3 contours are sweet

pretty cool, next step is smoked indicators on the front..

Why turbocharge?

Supercharge would be better in NZ coz you aint gonna do much high speed anyway thanks to crusty roads, slow traffic and angry cops..!

Wonder if anyone knows a rough figure as to how much an M style front/back skirting would cost..

Do they come unpainted? And if they do, is it a faux pas to leave it unpainted (say it was black) on a white car?

Its all hypothetical, but interesting to know..

Yeah stealers charge a lot for the keys. SO DONT LOOSE IT.

Thats a reason who bimmers are pretty hard to steal..comparatively..

ACS style are the way to go.. I think mag and turbo have like replica types.. not sure tho.. the 5 spoke are mean tho

Or these will do.. you can always try Ebay/trademe and see if someone will steal them for you heheh
