Yeah ive been looking at SC & turbo'd ones on youtube...........some bit of kit.
I think std power will be plenty for me just now
If I do anything, it will be a set of wheels, CSL's or BBS of some sort.

The guy who builds them gets his SC Kits from teh states, they are pure bolt on, bolt off units, they do not erquire any modding of the engine bay and it includes all the parts so you dont even cut pipes, the idea is you can bolt it on and off at your own free will.
Although the kits cost 8k
CSL wheels are sex wee.

You'd take too long to decide anyway, she has nothing to worry about.

So no tap in for oil lines or anything? Thats what id go for tbh if I was thinking along the lines of a charger. 8k's one of the smaller ones ive been seeing some priced at 10-12k
Can get 400bhp one for a few k's

Supercharging is £3k IIRc some company int totalbmw advertising. 400 odd bhp.
TBH the car will seem slow quite quick, just find a bend, drive at it at stupid speed, and see how fucking amazing it is. THATs where the car is king.
I have no idea where the limit is as im too scared to push it any harder
Alltho i made it understeer quite badly once

Its basically a manual without a clutch that you can either use the stick shift (up/down) or paddles behind the stearing wheel to change gear and theres an option to drive in auto if you wish.
