lol... yeah but the torque makes up for it.. now whats the value for the torque??
im getting one from alpina527 as i cant be ballsed to piss about with the pipe work.. in my eyes thats asking for air leaks.. alpinas manifold will bolt straight on.. no @ucking about.. and the bbtb will help too.. i want 230+ bhp when combined with a remap.

how much does an m30 b35 have (lbft) as thats got more torque than anything ive ever driven i think! if a 328i can match that torque i might have to get one!

i think an e30 335i would be my ideal car! only thing that would sway me out of a 328i is the head gasket/sinking liners/nikasil issue thats prob not that common but its put me off a bit to the point i am thinking its safer to stick with an m50, my problem is that i read to much and belive most of what i read lol.
