I had a pretty similar experience with my 'deported' 306 Peug which I've driven for 8 years. Bloody French bas***d. After 4 years, I even swapped the engine with a 4G-63T VR4 turbo <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> (interesting eh? It was - damn powerful, it was not - wiring nightmare, broken turbo once and engine seizure once) :stupid:. But the handling was simply fantastic. Anyways, I'm a newbie here and just got myself an old 1993 E36 318 from a desperate friend. Bought it cash (24K OTR), that means no hutang every month. Not bad for a 15 yrs old car though; c/w M3 bodykit, neat interior and a 16in wheels. It is for my project car; no this time it aint gonna be some mix-breed project no more.  I've changed all the bushes, front brake discs + pads, lower arm, ball joints, wheel bearings and what not. The list goes on, but doesn't cost me a bomb (yet).Being power monger I am (the reason for the VR4 swap), I'm quickly disillusioned with the M40 (or was it M42) sub-par performance. I blamed a buddy of mine who owned a 325. I'm opened to any suggestion. Btw, I currently reside in KBatas, Penang (Mainland).Danke</p></blockquote><p></p>
