My co-worker has one, he seems to like it. Wish BMW put an LSD in it. N54 is notorious for HPFP issues (grenade)

Had a BMW with an N54 engine. Great when it works but had so many part failures. I'm getting too old and impatient to deal with all the problems so I wouldn't recommend it.

I'd get a 128i for the track. There was a few pages in this thread a while back that were all about 128i. They make pretty good power with a few bolt ons too

Although far more expensive I would hope the 1M would be better on track. Factory LSD and few HPFP issues. They still blow up the plastic charge pipe, kill fuel injectors and require carbon cleaning.

Maybe a 1 series thread is needed

wife had a 128i, we gave the car to her mom who still drives it today. pretty damn reliable for what it is. only did 1 head gasket, timing tensioner, and a leaky windshield water pump so far.

not bad for a bmw.

a bit overpriced but a hell of a powerplant

by buddy recently picked up a 135i with 70.000 kms for $13.000

there are not many cars on the street that you can pick up for under 10k and have 500hp by spending another $1500-2000 on parts

Plus labor, plus tires and other maintenance items.

Pretty soon that "great deal" doesn't seem so awesome anymore.

Because other cars don't need those things?
Yes, cars cost money.

Intake, exhaust, charge pipe, down pipe, intercooler, tune, probably a tank full of e85 too to hit 500hp. Engine internals holds more than that, trannies too.

I remember in my mk5 GTI I think $600 got like 80whp. Turbo cars are so wild in that sense.

Man, why are all the cheap Miatas on the island. Seems like we only get overpriced junk here in the mainland. For a clean looking BRG w/HT, even with the minor damage its super cheap at $1750. Could be a good candidate for a manual swap.



$1,750 · 1996 Mazda Miata

1.8L 4cyl, automatic, power steering, cd stereo with aux and usb, alloy wheels, hardtop and soft top. 241,000 kms. runs good. new tires, battery and windshield in the past year. Some right front fender/door damage. air bag light on. Cheap on fuel and an affordable summer convertible.
