    beaten and dejected

    The 2.8 have 193bhp and can easily be modded to around 210-220bhp, standard its 0-60 in about 6.7 secs, you unfortunately have more transmission losses and weight which will cancel out some the gains from the remap.

    Goodbye Audi....

    [ QUOTE ] I would have got the 328i Sport, quicker car and better on fuel then the 325i. Nice buy all the same. [/ QUOTE ] I would have stretched to a 330i, but they didn't have spec I wanted and mileage was higher and slightly more expensive. The 328i have the nearly the same power as the...

    Goodbye Audi....

    Hello BMW, Done the deed and defected over to the otherside!! Part ex. my A4 1.8TQ Avant for a 325i Sport. Gotta say that ride and handling are worlds apart, BMW certainly know a thing or two about chassis tuning, and the straight six is smooth as whipped cream. The power delivery is so...

    American aid?

    Afganistan was revenge for 9/11, Iraq I'm not so sure. If it were so, why not go into Pakistan where bin laden and his crew are believed to be hiding? And now Iran is under the US spotlight,

    Rear Axle

    I'm not a guru on suspension design, but if there is a beam connecting the rear suspention arms, then it is has the torsion beam suspension like the previous modle and therefore unlikely to be a multi link suspension. Only the Quattro's have multilink rear suspension.

    American aid?

    Your wrong there, they know of Iraq. What with hurricane Katrina, made worse by global warming, affecting oil production in the Gulf state, its a good job that George Bush had the foresight to invade an oil producing country. There's no need to sign a silly Kyoto agreement because there's no...

    A grand TV

    I recently bought a Philips 32" 32PW9509, went to loads of audio visual shops to test and compare CRT, plasmas and LCD TVs. Settled with the Philips as the picture quality is absolutely stunning and blows away any LCD or plasmas. Take your favourite DVD to the store and test the screens.
