Scrick 272/272 if its a 325i.

Sold one to a guy last month and he said its a really good cam for the road with apparent increase in power.

Cost is roughly Ԛ£350.

Get some new tappets from GSF aswell.

Whats the mileage on the car?

Yes, thats a good cam for that conversion. If you want more of the power to be at the top end then go for a 284/272.
