If you're willing to shell out that much cash, wouldn't it be easier to get a new 335i? I know it would cost a bit more, but it would probably be more reliable and much easier to do. But of course if you just want to have the experience of turbo on your car, your budget seems in line with how much it would cost.

the dollar sucks but it doesn't suck that much:
6,000.00 GBP = 9,887.50 USD xe.com

I know this is off topic but...

The dollar doesn't suck. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the reason the the GBP is always stronger is that it's backed by gold.

you're wrong...

You're right. For some reason or other I thought they still used a partial variation of the gold standard.

The $ is still the most commonly traded currency across the globe.

persian54 · 08-11-2009, 01:43 AM

if any currency was still backed by gold, FOREX wouldn't exist lol

if you're gonna spend that much $, why not get a new engine?

you can get a LS1 or maybe even a LS2 and put it in there if they can fit it. i mean, if they can fit it in a Miata I don't see why not in a bmw
