I just rebuilt the motor on my 1.8L
after owning it for three years and
preparing to turbo it (151k miles),
when I tore it apart I found after all
the abuse I put it through (Redline in
every gear, everytime I drive it) the
lower rod and main bearings were
almost like new.... NOW THAT IS GERMAN
ENGINEERING!!!! I have killed several
American made vehicles with the abuse
I put them through. But every German
made vehicle I have owned has lasted.
(Volkswagen, ,Audi)
Favorite Features
One word explains my favorite
feature....
"RAILS"
I have modified VW's til I was blue in
the face and none has come close to
the handling of this car in stock
dressing. Now that I have a set of
Bilstein mono shocks struts and
bavarian sport springs at each
corner...
Suggested Improvements
Being my own mechanic you would think
after working on this car I would have
some complaints, I do have one,
EXPENSIVE PARTS!! Even as a repair
shop getting a discounts, the parts
still added up. With all the above
said if you are looking for a
performance vehicle, BMW is the one.
