Hi Mark,

You're not alone. I just sold my FPV GT-E to get into a 328i. I miss the power and the sound, but I love driving the BMW. Fit and finish as superior. It just needs a bit more attitude. I recommend intake, exhaust and lowering it.

Welcome Mark,

I'm also from the Ford camp, still have an xr6 turbo that i drive as a daily with a fair amount of power but I honestly prefer driving the 328.

I recommend at least a BMS Stg 1, it will definately give you a bit more push in the seat and its probably the best bang for buck performance mod you can do to the car.

Enjoy your new car !!!

Got mine from Stuart at BMR Autowerkes, it is plug and play.

I'm sure Stuart would be able to fit it for you to try before you buy.

But beleive me once its in you ain't giving it back.

Best bang for buck mod you can do

Congrats on the new car Mark.

If you are looking for stage 1, I have one for sale. Used it in my 328 but no longer need it as I don't have the car any longer. PM me if you're interested

great looking car mark. if youre keen for on-track performance, my first stop would be brakes and good rubber.

for brakes, check this out: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW-...rake-kits.aspx

for rubber, Michelin supersports are a great choice.

Thanks had a look at the link you provided ,with the m performance brakes ,when you add shipping they are more expensive than in Australia,shipping kills the deal unfortunately
