1) It's a TourING, not a TourER

2) http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... n_Upgrades:

"Unfortunately the M40 is not sympathetic to upgrades. There are no simple "bolt-on" solutions that will give an increase in performance. If you are looking for more power, consider an engine swap to the M42 engine, or investing in forced induction.

The best way to get performance out of an M40 is simply to service it."
