Not hard at all, really very straightforward indeed.

Nope, none of that nonsense. The plastic grommet where the cable passes through the bulkhead can, very rarely, be tricky to remove, but as you're binning the old cable it's not a concern :)

Is that why my 318 might seem really sluggish on pickup? After a while, she gets going, but I had a 1.6 festa that seemed to go quicker?!?!?

318i with 154 odd K on the clock, lowered 40 mil, K&N induction, scorpion system (downpipe back)

Should be fairly quick i'd have thought?
