Although new to BMW ownership, I am delighted by how great a drive it is. I bought this with 113k but it still feel fresh and there have been other new cars driven sime of them didnt feel as new. Of course it was in need of a service and some remedial work to make it perfect, I went for new EBV discs and pads, eibache(spelling?) pro kit spring (20mil drop) and top adjustable Koni's. a strut brace(speedline) new front ball joint with poly bushes and a set of new Goodyear Eagle f1 tyres in 225/40x18 wheels. I suspect a tuneup was needed too because torque around 2-3 felt flat but revs got to 5+ it picked up well or so I thought. A quick check on the dyno gave corrected bhp=175 @ 5613 & 228nm @ 4611 (168 ft lbs). After tweeking it power went to 182.5 bhp @ 5952& torque at 240 nm @ 4494 THE RESULT- much improved drivability and now a healthy pull at low revs. Next plan- track day!!!
