the BMW is a heavy old lump, wouldnt think a lot would be in it tbh, my old Rallye golf used to piss on 325`s that was about 220 bhp, (and sounded like a harrier jump jet!) people under estimate the vr6 just because its a golf, most people are surprised when they been in mine! and you tell them its a 2.8 in such a small car !amazed
