So far so good except that the consumption is much higher compare to my M54 525i. The power is better compare to the E60, with the various electronic improvements, lighter body etc, but under similar driving conditions, especially in stop/start situation, need to visit the petrol station sooner.  The drive is silky smooth, therefore can't fault the timing or engine. Mileage registered by computer 13.8l/100km, which works out to 7.25km/l compare to my M54 that gives 7.8km/l. Mokhtar, are you getting those figures? What about other 323i users?The ride is harsher with the RFT, but its acceptable. For the wife, I intend to carry on with the RFT, at least no worry about punctures. No regrets, even the wife was very happy with the machine compare the the Mer C that she wanted and the 320i, that were down on power.After driving it for awhile, realised that my E60 was down on power, decided to send my car to Jason to change the vanos seal that I had kept for 2 1/2 years since buying from Herbert. Now at least both are silky smooth and powerful. Thanks Herbert</blockquote>
