Knew = New
LOL, I knew I made a mistake there…

dlk001,
I thought 325i runs 0-100km in 7.2 not 8.2 ?
and 330i runs 0-100km in 6.2 not 7.2 ?
330i should have better quarter mile time than you posted above...no?

Notice he said the tests were performed at high altitude.

Thanks guys.

From the replies, I can see some mxed opinions but nonetheless, all worthwhile comments. Apologies to those who had to relive this question all again.

It most certainly does. At the moment it looks like any TiAG on the road. Still need to do minor mods to set it apart (not too extensive as the car itself cost an arm and a leg) but over the weekend, quite a lot of people ended up eating my dust.

Still have to test it's magnetism to babes (Babe Magnet)

Congrads!! The Babe Magnet on mine is massive! I drive through traffic just for the attention!

What plans to you have on the mod side?
i want the rear spoiler, shortshifter and maybe lower the car. Any thoughts on loweing the car? Who can do this for me without affecting the warranty?

No ideas yet, would have liked a front bumper and side skirts and even tinting but it seems everything contracdicts BMW's motorplan. I enquired with BMW and apparently, they don't have problem tinting provided it is the "expensive" smash and grab tinting and it's done by a BMW approved "fitter". Anything else voids the Motorplan if you needed to claim for windows or even doors.

Then Broken1 had mentioned something very pertinent to me. If they set their mind to it, BMW will look for and can give any valid reason to void the motorplan if they want to get out of paying.

Even the body parts have to be installed by BMW otherwise you loose the "paint warranty". Seems BMW have one by the short and curly and their "approved" and parts are not cheap.

So the long and short, you can contact any BMW dealer and they will give you their approved fitter to do anything you want but be prepared to pay the price premium.

Bah to them. I'll leave my car as is then.
