bmw's do nothing for me i am afraid - but never driven a performance one. The only one i have driven was a 318i that handled like my old cortina

Truthfully the Italian import is a hole lot different it has a 2ltr M engine.The E30 M3 has the same engine but its a 2.3ltr.A BMW 2.5ltr is slow against the Italian import version.You have to sort the springs out then you can give it some real teddy

My last was a '99 Impreza Turbo 2000:

Full decat
panel filter
Ecutek 2 remap
Tar-ox discs and pads
17" OZ Superleggera alloys
Impreza P1 clutch cover upgrade

Can't find a pic at the moment though

Cheers,
Alex

Not really got many pictures o them, must sort that out! They're all normal piccies, not digital...

Anyway, heres the list...

G reg White Nova 1.0 saloon with go faster stipes

N reg Blue Peugeot 106 1.1 Escapade (My one and only ever brand new car)
H reg Red Peugeot 205 1.9 Gti with full Peugeot bodykit, half leather trim and huge sunroof - one of my favuorites!
H reg Black Escort Xr3i :oops:
P reg Blue Escort 1.6 LX 'Sensible car'
F reg Black Toyota Supra 3.0i Single Turbo - Loved this one too, sold it to a mate who has done it up quite a bit

had less problems with this than the 2 peugeots put together!
N reg Red Golf 1.4 CL 'Sensible car' - Pile of crap it was too!
T reg Mondeo ST24
MY02 Impreza Sti Prodrive - Definatley favourite to date!
H reg Golf Gti 8 valve - Has proven to be much better than the newer shap Golf I had previously!

And thats it so far, hoping to upgrade the Golf to an FTO or something similar next year sometime as it gets a lot more use than the scoob

But a 2.5ltr E30 M3 is awesome..

Dynamix its a shame that you haven't driven a M or Sport BMW.

It is a shame - have been in an M3 caning it by a pretty irresponible driver through sideroads in leicester - never been so scared in my life.

Engine note doesnt float my boat though
