Yup I agree with Znod too.. Unless the mod is a supercharger

You have no idea of the grief that a supercharger will bring unless you are Alpina--that's my bet, but it is not a certainty.

you're getting SC installed in your car vegatrashed?

Possibly. There are other options I'm exploring at the moment and this is one of them. Some of the people I know that are interested in the VF supercharger are: hollywoodtrash, iceman316, ALexFW, and freed0m.

Yeah, he has an SMG and needs something to get it moving. Chant: rear end, rear end, rear end ... (and drag radials).

By the way, the best mod on a Step would be Dinan ECU programming provided that it also quickens the Steps shifting--assuming that a "proper" rear-end swap can't be found for the Step.

You'll pass them, or not even see them, when they blow their engines, breakdown otherwise, or can't drive their cars because they can't get them through the pollution sniffers.

Yeah, that's definitely a concern. That is why the SC is a consideration and not a certainty.

Do it. You won't regret it. Anyway, there are some people from Washington state and Oregon that caravan to bimmerfest yearly. Check this link out as the date gets closer to Bimmerfest. People start to organize caravan about 3 months in advance. So, target February 2007. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=131
