1st time owner with some questions

Hi All

I finally bought my first e30 325i convertible. I'd love to show you it but i can't work out how to upload jpeg pics yet, if indeed it is possible here?

I'm already looking for quick solutions to get a better exhaust tone, better throttle response and perhaps a touch more power. It seems a bit quiet, a bit flat and a bit slow. It may be that when I went down to test drive it, jumping out of an e46 330i does not help, but I was still expecting a bit more heart and soul form the motor

I guess there are a million threads about these things so if there are any you know of, some links would be much appreciated.

In the meantime, I'll be scouring the darkest recesses of this forum.

Whereabouts in Yorkshire? I use these guys:
http://www.autohausdiagnostics.co.uk/

near York. Excellent service and decent rates - but they've got a two week waiting list at the moment.

I am in Hull, there is a swish BMW centre here But I am not convinced they see that many e30s, if any. Also looks expensive, a bit like autohaus, perhaps?
