just fitted a 325i tb to my 320i cab and already noticed a huge increase in smooth power through the rev range. I know this mod has been talked about alot and done by quite a lot of people, but i thought id share my experience with fellow zoners. I would defo recommend this mod to anybody with a 320i, now all i need to do is get a chip fitted. Before i was getting embarressed by all kinds of crap on the road eg corsas, peugeot 106s with a sport exaust to name but a few but now i should be able to give them a run for their money aswell as 318is. Anyways very happy with my job for the day. Peace out
