    Great car and genuine guy the owner seems, thanks for the bud! Not into pensioner startling noise levels myself but I can definitely see the appeal once you’ve got to silly bhp

    My 128i has a N51 with an AFE cold air intake, a muffled delete, and Active Autowerke headers. I still need the tune, and it's a ZF auto, but it pulls nicely.

    I know what he's talking about when it comes to having a car for years and not putting miles on it. I'm 3 years into my Evo ownership and I've done about 400 miles in that time. Its been off the road a year now getting restored and its soul-destroying. especially when you're doing it alone.
