... although in fairness, I think I was the lucky one here. A while ago, I bought a power upgrade for the engine, consisting of a 325 inlet manifold with big bore throttle body, all of which will flow quite a bit more air to the engine. Apparently the 328 was artificially restricted with a less efficient inlet manifold to comply with German emissions regulations, and to increase the gap to the M3, so this should yield another 20 bhp or so. However, it didn't arrive, so I got in touch with the seller today.
Turns out, he was in a car crash just before Christmas, resulting in broken ribs and a written off car, which is currently in the hands of the insurance company, with my manifold in the boot :-(. Best wishes for a full recovery, if you're reading this Rob.
Apparently he's expecting to get the car back tomorrow, so hopefully the manifold won't be too badly delayed. Fingers crossed there won't be any more luck like this.
