To supercharge or not to SC????

Post by bmwaddict » Wed May 31, 2017 12:36 pm

Although I partly agree with the above, what makes sense is not always what makes you happy. I know the OP well and he loves his MR, I don't see him selling it for a GTR or similar which doesn't have half the character, or looks IMO. Whether SC'ing it is butchering or not is a matter of opinion. For me the fact is having something with more power than it has from factory and being quicker than far more expensive machinery is half the fun. Would I do it if I had the money? Hell yes! Would it be the sensible option? Probably not, but hey, we're petrolheads, if we were sensible we'd all be driving 320D's!

Thank you all for input it's all very welcome :)

I'm going to think long and hard over it all as in no rush what so ever
So will chat to all when at zedfest or if any going to M meet in Birmingham?

I may just look into Nos just a 1/2 mile bye bye scenario

Ref sell to buy something else
I can't hahaha bloody thing looks stunning parked up alongside other cars
As it's not aged and I simply can't drag myself out of it once in

Can't say I find that with many cars
Plus like my mazzer I love the exclusivity:)

i promise you it wont detract from the quality of the car, the install is flawless and the car behaves like oem. If you have the blacked out options the items look totally stock and very stealthy cool. Who you start getting into the custom colours it gets expensive!

This talk of ruining a clasic is silly if you ask me.
Its your car Mark do what the hell you want to it!! As BMWADICT has said having the ability to show up and imbarase much more exotic machinery is a masive bonus. Thats why i am doing what i am to mine. And as i have said you need to do this to keep up with me. It will kill you when my car goes screaching past yours.
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!
