Default Bigger is better.....sometimes....

Well just a helluva question! I had a 533ci built and it has its plusses and minuses. First of all....good thing I still have about 1/2" of room between the engine and the compartment side walls at the corners, cuz it DO have some idle vibrate....and YES....overheating was the order of the day until I put one helluva puller fan into the shroud!! It lopes like it means business with a modest cam in it.... I'm beginning to wonder...since I have no track experience and drive it strictly street, whether sometimes it might be more fun to drive a slower car fast than a very fast car slow...know what I mean? I can walk this dog, but I can almost never let it off its leash haha!......AND my wife just LOVES the car.

FUN though.... and all the oooohs and aaaaahhhhs that your ego can stand.

Regards,

Dirk
