Hi here is my deal, i have a 2001 civic ex with quite a bit done for show but no go, well i have most of the bolt ons but whoopie-doo, i want power...and here is my deal...I'm about to graduate from college and am about to get a job that pays pretty damn well, so here is my plan, im going to live at home for a year to save money and wait for my gf to finish college (im putting a down payment on a r6 in about two months) and i also want a new car...so i want to get a luxury car that still has some tuning power, and in about a year ill have my cars trade in value plus 20/25 grand in cash, which ill use half of for a down and the other half to slam it immediately with both show and go mods, i know the lexus is300 has this potential but i hate 4 doors, so what about the bmw 325ci? im pretty sure its 2.5L and 180 @ 6000 rpm's...


do you know any sites, or you yourself know about the tuning potential of the say 2003/2004 bmw 325ci....like turbo's etc etc....i want atleast 250 whp...i know there are some crazy bmw's in f1 racing so i know tuning potential is there i just have no idea about how to go about finding info on it...please help me if you can


thanks

bleh with the 3 series anything lower then the 330 is a waste of potential.

A buddy of mine has a 330 lightly lightly modded and he smokes everyone....

I think your gunna over do it if you go from a civic to a Bimmer that is immediatly turbo'd.....just get the 3 series and see how you feel once you get it.

thanks thats some good advice, i dont know a whole lot about bmw's so i appreciate the comment about anything below a 330 is a waste of potential because i want to get a car that has a great deal of potential...so his 330 is nice?

or if anyone has any other good ideas about upper end cars that will be respectable to drive to work and show up at the track with your friends

audi a4??? :-) haven't really looked for performance parts for them but they are nice. TT is nice too. It would be nice with the twin turbo.

There are not any a4 coupes just sedans and convertibles

Not that it matters since he doesnt want a 4 door, but the turbo A4 sucks *****, there are recalls on them from coilpacks going out, the 3.0 V6 is much more reliable and far more powerfull. For some reason everyone on these boards salivate over F/I. N/A power is SO much better.

There is an A4 coupe....but the catch is...its a convertable..

if you are willing to shell out around $7,000 for a turbo on a 325, then by all means do so. go with a newer e36 m3.
