Re: HOW MUCH POWER IS YOUR E30 PUSHING?
Yeah I was looking online just now and 15% seems to be the agreed figure to use when guessing the flywheel figure. Most RR centres will probably give flywheel figures if they want their customers to feel better about themselves. I'm not knocking those that do... but like with stereos I prefer to use...

Re: K&N 57i induction kit
That's true - The typical zoner is sadly (for us!) very different to their (E30s non M3) intended market in the time they were produced. If you buy an M5/M6 however, BMW focus was/is firmly on performance, and hence there is little or no better option for many of their parts, period. Hence why Sal'...
