    Lovely. It'll probably boil up rather quickly in that case and die a horrible death

    Ever hear people referring to BMW's as kettles? They have a serious habit of over heating. I have seen people take the termostat out and wire the fan but not sure how it worked out.

    I don't reckon you should do it,
    they are slow n heavy compared to other cars,
    I'd say you'd have to be seriously brave on the wand to drift her nicely
    fair bit of skill if ye can drift her though.....

    Your best bet is getting at least a 320i
