Yea its the 2.5 engine in it but its been fiddled with a little, my neck is hurting today from the acceleration on it haha. Such a sweet drive, did over 300 miles in it yesterday including a 2 hour sit after my mate had a blowout on the m1 and got out feeling like I had popped to the shop.
A 3.2 S-Type jag gave it the beans against my mates 2.0 zetec fiesta ST from some lights yesterday. I hung back and watched the jag pull away from him, decided to put my foot down and it put the jag to shame within about 7 seconds.
Going to do the oil, filter, air filter and brake pads this weekend, maybe pop in some injector cleaner. Then the plan is to replace the bulbs with xeons, have the windows tinted and smarted up the inside with some mats and new dials. Needs a new weld on the back box and some lube in the starter motor but other than that its tip top
Sweet mate. I know the bimmers have good engines, just didn't know how rapid they were. 3.2 S-types - my Dad's got one of them, my old Clio could easily out-accelrate one
I think I'm going to get an Elise for the next car...
