have a compression check done on your motor. do you have any oil leaks or significant consumption? these 4s are pretty tough. shop that has done my prior work was trying to talk me into a DASC and at the time i had around 180k. before anyone jumps on the shop, they race prep beemers, race them, blah blah blah ... they're good guys and do good work, they weren't just trying to sell me something to get more money. they said my motor is strong with no problems and adding the DASC would still be fine. so ... if you're concerned about the motor, get it checked first, but i'm guessing m44ic is right that you'll be able to proceed w/o rebuilding. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
