So as a few of you know on Thursday I bought a BMW 325 TDS
Its on 187,000 miles, 2.5l, 6 cylinder, 12 valve, turbo diesel, RWD, 5 speed manual that has a Bosch VP pump
It makes funny noises and is pissing fuel out the pump (hopefully sealed that today) but it drives well and feels surprisingly quick on boost.
Ive got it running on veg already.

Oh and I took it for a dyno today and even with its fuel leak it made 145.6bhp and 208lb/ft.

Thats 1.6bhp and 16lb/ft up on a standard car even though its done silly mileage and was running veg.
Plans are a modded mechanical Bosch, a bigger FMIC, induction kit, de-cat and maybe a stupidly large turbo. Also coilies and wheels off an E39 5 series.
My main aim is to have more power than a 328i with a inlet manifold swap so 240bhp. Would love to be able to beat an M3 but think thats a bit far.
Oh and drifting is fun even if your really really shit at it.
