Random misfires. Idle's ok, but throttle cuts after 4000 rpm and 10psi.

Tell you what - I'll trade you my 12 year old German sports car for your 14 year old German sports car.

Yeah, my intake boot was torn after the MAS and was causing it to run like an diesel tractor.

I'd say a 330Ci for an (assuming) S4 is a fair trade :3

If ze germans didn't make such great cars, they would be pretty bad cars.

Probably pretty close. I've never driven a BMW, so it'd be fun to try something new. Although the 10 years I've invested in learning the intricacies of the B5 Audi is probably more valuable than the car.

The true jalop would have just slathered it with silicone
