haha.

yeah. your "friend" wanted that for too long. this thing is one of the last things to do when you know you're about to max out the engine and there's pretty much nothing more to do to it.

due to the exchange rate, those exotic parts costs an arm and a leg.

bazet, don't worry, there's still so much more you can do.

bazet: i must say, you've got a PRETTY expensive taste.

my advise for you:
M20 2.5 or M50 2.5
unichip
new paint job
bodykit
go even lower
xenons
:)

Bazet, save your money....just get a M30 3.5 with the getrag gearbox. You won't need to do anything else to the engine - just need good suspension and brakes.

or, if you have higher budget, get the V8 4.4.

or, if you have low budget, get the V12 5.0 - heard can get very cheap coz it is not in demand. 550i, scared ah? (it has been done in a foreign country before, though can't remember where)

Open Side , M30 3.5 is from what model ? E32 rite ? Hears many e32 owners dump that engine for smaller cc engine because of road tax.

3500 cc eq RM5,500 yearly or I use stock 2.0

M30 b25 way too muh.. b25 maybe sufficient to me :)

p/s : Play Championship Manager 03/04 v 4.15 ...
