Hello from Brisbane

[Wanderer]

Last year I bought a 535i V8 E39 and love the quality of the whole package. This year I got a new Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 and have become a boy racer again. So much so I am hoping to jazz up the Bimmer to match the feeling. My wife mostly drives it now but on long rides its still my favourite.

Does anyone have any experience with remapping the 535, with a powerchip or other cost effective mods. Is it worthwhile.

Ciao

Welcome to UB. Nice cars you have there

[denyo77]

now, that's a hot collection... I would have a hard time deciding which car I'd take
I like the 300zx a lot, as well
Isn't the Brera a bit heavy? Also it's FWD afaik, so...maybe i'd take the Nissan even over the Bimmer

Thanks. They are all fun to drive. The Alfa is heavy but very solid and the AWD makes it handle like a dream plus it still does 0 - 100 kph in 6.8 secs and looks fantastic. The 300 ZX is 18 years old but with twin turbos and a few other bits does the 100 in the high 5's and pulls like a train. And the Bimmer is the only way to travel on long interstate drives so its a matter of horses for courses.
