How's this 1 Pennetta( u should like it).....I was building and restoring corvettes and GM muscle cars for fun and $$ but one of the main reasons I started with BMW's was because back in the old days, was because myself and a friend of mine turbocharged his 320i. only 5 lbs of boost and no intercooler....well after we blew the clutch and rear diff out from under it from all the extra power....(we had No clue)...the car was a monster for its time and a blast to drive!!!

Thats great to hear, your a real car guy. I've built cars and motorcycles and used to race them at Bridgehampton race track on the east end of Long Island. It was a 3 mile road course with lots of changes in elevation and great views of the Peconic. Its now agolf course, a great one, but still a golf course. I still run Formula 2000 cars at Pocono raceway in PA.

If it does it's a consequential component failure, so I am covered under my 4yr/50k mile warranty.

I've raced a lot over the years but in my own cars, the hardest part for me is the non-synco'd trannys. But great great fun!
Not bad at Grand View after either.

I agree but this was a pretty pissy topic, we may be to blame for setting a bad example.
