the thing is recently, BMW have always built their engines to the highest specification possible, hence the upgrade from the m42 1.8 to the m44 1.9. you are always going to feel pissed off at what you do to your engine, as it wont make any difference in hp. the 1.8 was replaced to a 1.9 for fuel effiencey not for performance, check the statistics. the only thing you can do is get a re-map, or go for the top end 225bhp, with forced induction. nobody on this site has gone above that yet! | first of all. read his post, try to understand his English, next read the link. He is pushing displacement to 2.11L. And idk where u got that 225bhp number MM makes 260hp engines. based of the m42/4 platform. __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by halobeamin it's the way to go..
