Not to sure how much effect it will make on these cars. I had it done on my golf gt tdi 110bhp and fu*k me that thing took off li...

Re: Spend my £300?

Cant you just have it re-mapped? More performance, better fuel economy, better response with the throttle and so on....

It cost about £250-£300 to do so!!

Re: should i buy one?

Agreed, a 316 is a good starting point, plenty of later 316 lux models knocking about still that still have rear arches in them, tourings also seem to be in better nick, except tailgates which rot with the best of 'em. You can get a nice late J or K plate 316 touring for about £600. As for the insu...

When you get insurance on them go for a 316 then do it on one of your parents name and yourself as 2nd driver....i have been doing it ever since i was 17 lol. Some insurance companies such as direct line will also give the 2nd driver ncd so you can build up your own. Thats your only hope to getting ...

No matter how good the car may look or sound every e30 will have some sort of problem mate.
