Thank for all the well wishes
I too like the Mtech 1 bumper
I am planning on keeping it just the way it is at the moment
I am going to change all the fluids, the main belts and the expantion tank nex week
Will is be worth it to remove the cats, from what i understand there are 4?
Will it increase the fuel consumption and performance?
I must say, the fuel consumption is not that bad, it's better that my old 318is:thumbs:
Congrats on the car man, hope you have many happy trouble free miles with her:thumbs:
Car looks in a top top condition.
If i am you dont worry with your cats now spend all the money you can on getting the car in tip top mechanical condition. The cats you can do if you know everything else has been seen too. This is just my 2 cents worth.
Service car - major (plugs, air, oil etc)

When you done with all the above do Vanos seals then after that do cats:rollsmile:
Dont want to scare you but these are the things to look out for before worrying about doing your cats. As the cats becomes quite pricey at the exhaust manifold. So instead of spending the money on the cats rather spend it on the above items first:thumbs:
Goodluck and enjoy the 6 cylinder sound track :inlove:
