With enough money, anything can be made somewhat fast, but youre talking about an expensive turbo kit, fuel, computer, etc, etc to go low 13's/high 12's.
On a lighter note, the cars drive amazingly well overall, but not being able to outrun a housewife in a bmw 3-series sucks.
Daaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm. I murder those things. Pretty much any bimmer w/out the letter M gets its ass handed to it. Only 3 series that I cant touch is the e46 M3, the rest are pretty much nothing stock. Great handling though, I guess...
