E36 328 running costs

[StuB]

I think the 325 has a much shorter ratio diff than the 328.

Will post some links for the inlet/throttle conversion when I have time to find them.

See my post above your question.

Then go to www.e36coupe.co.uk and see their front page. Its a guy on there that does an exchange throttle body and inlet manifold for about £300 IIRC. Instant 20 bhp, why? The 328 was deliberately restricted to 193bhp for the german market (insurance brackets or summat).
