Drive the iS for a bit before you decide you want more power. My touring still puts a smile on my face (when it works :cry: ). M50 all the way after that, don't bother with those 12v relics winkeye
Not in E30s any more :(

I think M20s sound better, but to be honest I wouldn't buy a car just to listen to it.

:lol:

would have to be m50 winkeye

i would go m30 as it looks easier to do but the fuel consumption will be around 20mpg 8O , where as m50 your going to get 30+
