My 2002 330d went bang and i lost all boost in the last week. It was a 184bhp remapped to 211 but otherwise standard. Its been a good workhorse, but now I'm not sure if I should repair or think about something new.
I'm not concerned with top speed or drag racing performance, but something that's lots of fun and can overtake slow moving traffic at 40-70 mph when I'm late for work, would be nice. I'm thinking something that gets its performance from being lighter and more nimble though, with a similar or better power:weight. I previously owned a 1999 Focus which had wider wheels, lowering springs and beefier ARBs, and the thing was a go-kart, and I could drive it flat out because I knew it didnt have the power to kill me lol.
Part of me wants something like a Toyota GT86, but maybe you can have as much fun for cheaper in a Fiesta ST or similar? Maybe repair/modify the 330d in some way?
