beemers arent all that, especially as most are on slush boxes. 24v's are ok and quick. However saying that my bros had aq E30 325i and nowt special, a nice car but thats about it. my 12v when standard would cane it most 4x4's will kill most things off the line whether its a cossie or v6, the exception to the rule is the 2.0 DOHC
