Guys, what's the ramifications of putting a 3 bar fuel pressure regulator on a 320i which should take 2.5 bar?

Reason being, is that the 3 bar 325i FPR is easy to find and fairly cheap in Bosch.. whereas the 2.5 is expensive and only seems to be available in mickey mouse brands.

The engine will over fuel, giving an excessively rich mixture, assuming your injectors aren't knackered.
