move to the darkside ?

gixracer · 01-12-2018, 08:12 AM

so this is a N52 debate.

I have a perfect 128 with 66k miles, sport, slicktop. dialed for the track, everything minus lsd.
I have a N54T in the garage with all the fixins minus driveshaft and exhaust. hmmmmmm

thoughts?

why? I have better than 135 brakes, all M suspension bits, wheels and no sunroof. I would loose my ass on the deal.

If you are looking for advice, I'd say finish one project 1m3? Before starting another?

I just joined the dark side by turning in my N52 powered E85 for an E89. It's a totally different experience. Some of it great but I still miss my free revving N52. I find myself driving slower with the more powerful E89.
