:wave: welcome! Azev A's are a nice 5 spoke wheel but don't have much of a dish. How about 4 spoke borbet A's? I think you can go as wide as 9J without any trouble and they have a lovely deep dish.

edit: borbet A's are actually 5 spoke! :oops:

The 325i engine is the same no matter what car it came from - 2dr/4dr/touring. All the same power and torque.

My 325i touring drifts just as well as my Sport (2dr). The touring looks better when drifting too :cool:

Oh, and welcome :wave:

BTW, Fuzzys touring has a small Cosworth addition :twisted:
