Welcome to the Zone :wave:

320i's are never the quickest thing I'm afraid (depending on year 125/129bhp) and lack torque low down. They're normally lovely and smooth but all the power is further up the rev range.

cheers for the welcome guys, spadge yes its me from PF :thumb:

the weather is proper nasty here at the mo but when i get the chance i will post pics up, i`m actually well pleased with myself as ive always fancied a e30 and now i have one 8) this is only the 3rd non ford ive ever owned and its a bit weird looking outside to 2 crystal blue sapphire cosworths my dads 105e anglia and a 320i :cry:

the car was lovely and quite and smooth once at like 70/80 on the motorway but you could feel it was like it was holding back and going through the gears it wasnt smooth like a slighty misfire every now and again,the cars only ever really been pottering round town and the guy didnt seem like the racing type so he probablynever even noticed lol
