128i CAI

If you plan to drive your 1er in a daily basis then I would recommend a 128i. Believe me a NA N52 engine is more mechanically sounded than the twin turbo N54. Check out the mechanical problems 135i had on in the maintenance section of the forum and compare to the 128i, the 135i problems just dominated the whole section. I also remember reading a write up on a magazine comparing a 128i and a VW R32. The 128i is actually faster than the R32 according to their test. I've also destroyed my friend's 2003 G35 with my 128i. So speed is not a concern on this lil car at all. It's up to you man~ how much desire of HP do you have~! I might be biased because I don't go to tracking at all so there's no need for the extra money on gas/power.

Peace
Let us know how you make out with that CAI!
