Do you plan to track/race it?
The stick shift would be favorable opposed to the auto....

ohh hell its an automatic AND the dead heavy 318is E36 body.

the car is not your life, really.
go on a two week vacation without the car, and you'll start to get your brain back.

Wut? Has the hyperinflation already started in US? 1000 USD for cams? :eek:

I got new Shrick cam copies (regrinds from originals) + chip made for the cams for 310� and now the engine has around 165 -170 hp.

I love how nobody describes what the differences really are

More torque?
More fun?

for 300 dollar regrinds, its around the same hp increase and dollar increase as a chip

More fun!

Shrick copies moved max hp point up higher on rev band. It would still bog down around 7200 but engine felt much more eager than with stock cams and chip.
