^^ I thought my response was balanced? I like BMW products in general, just the 318i has about as much driving pleasure as a Camry. I've also driven a 320 with a SR20DET, that was a good (if a little hairy) compromise. A friend of mine in the UK has done several 4.4 and 5.0 BMW V8 conversions in everything from E30-M3 & E36 318i to a Jeep Cherokee!
