Re: Opinions on stainless exhaust's which is best?

Why not a custom made one? Search for Powerflow in Google.

Chances are you could have one made and fitted for similar or less money. They usually have lifetime warranties and you can have it as loud or quiet as you want.

Re: Rust, mpg and reliability??

Will they do over 30mpg on a run, something like a steady 65-70mph on dual carriageway? The best I have ever got from my auto is 29mpg on a motorway run. Normally on a standard motorway / dual carriage way run I get about 25 ish As a DD, driving round town kills me, I get about 15mpg on average 8O ...

Re: Rust, mpg and reliability??

What are the chances of there being a "How do you fit a TR-7 V8 into an E30" thread in six months time? :) I wasn't a BMW fan either, until I actually drove one for a while.... lol :D About 4-5 years back I had a red 318 auto that I used to drive to Bristol and back twice a week in. Have to say the...

Second is a 320iSE 4 door bought cheaply of ebay with a damaged engine and tired interior,ran this as...

Re: Rust, mpg and reliability??

Thanks. Will they do over 30mpg on a run, something like a steady 65-70mph on dual carriageway? I know I'm being picky, but there is reason behind the madness,lol. I'm really after a car to use as a DD, I want it to be a bit of fun and not run of the mill, but its not got to be a PITA to own or cost...

Rust, mpg and reliability??

Looking for some info. How well have the E30 325i's faired over the years, in terms of picking one up for a DD? I had a 318 auto a number of years ago, and while I had little love for it, it did have some positive points such as no squeaks or rattles and no visible rust. Are these cars still fairing...
