if its a 4 pot i personally i wouldnt bother, seen far too many valvetronic issues with them.

basically from 2001 onwards, BM introduced valetronic into their engines, ive seen numerous issues with these. pre 2004 motors also suffered from tensioner issues which caused the chain to jump and muller the motor

better off with an A3 in my opinion
