Whatever comes first?????
Whatever comes first?????
Hi to all.
I am new here and not too familiar with your abbreviations so be patient please.
I am German, live in China and bought a R52 convertible, automatic new at BMW in Dong Guan, China in 2008.
I changed too 19x10 inch wheels, 255/35 back (hit the fender on big bumps), 235/35 front, some Taiwan racing shocks (good), adjustable "swingarms" at the back (sorry i dont know the english word), K&N Filter-replacement, some tuning chip (no good), Taiwanees center Muffler (no good). Body-Kit.
However, i would like to go for about 180HP or so.
What should i do first, cylinder heads, cam etc or turbo????
I am not aiming for speed but for lots of torque and acceleration.
Whatever way you recommend, it seems getting a complet KIT seems difficult.
Thanks for your help
Frank

Is your car an S or plain Cooper? Both the S and Cooper convertibles were R52.
It will be easy to get an S to 180, but getting the Cooper to that level will be more expensive.
