All the deisal ones have turbo's:p

Mycroft H

The 335 diesel 200bhp engine was produced till early last year when it was replaced with a slightly more powerful on, 215hp me thinks

just petrol engines.

cashmni1

Does this just relate to production petrol engines?

Biro

BMW 2002 Turbo. The year is what's getting me though... 70's me thinks?

Edit : It was the first production turbo petrol car if I'm not mistaken. It had that unique colour scheme too, white with blue and red stripes, and Turbo spelt backwards across the front splitter. Notorious for turbo lag!!
1967 is in my head, but that's definately too early for that car, so I'm sticking with the 70's. Don't think it was as late as 81 or 82.

Nope, the 135, 335 and 535 have the 272bhp engine, now possibly around 281bhp in the 335d.
You're thinking of the 330d, which has around the 215 or 2200bhp, used have 184bhp in the 530d when introduced.

Mycroft H

Oh i get the question now..... The last petrol turbo since the 335i..... I dont think its the 2002 turbo, i think its the 745i but not entirly sure on the year, me thinks its was in the early eighties maybe eighty one??
When I was small i had a matchbox one.....

S.I.R

alll bmws 3 serise have... for DTM use... and touring car...


the limited 500 production models anyways

Mycroft H

Ok time to get the ball rolling again -
There was four 4 wheel drive volkswagon golfs mk 2s. One was the synchro, the second was the G60 limited edition and the third was gti rallae and the fourth was??

Extra points to name what engines they used!

L-M

I don't know if it's four wheel drive, but the only other mk2 i know, besides a GTI is a Rallye

Hardly the Country lol... I don't know if that's a four wheel drive either.

Its the funky one with the jacked up suspension and bull bars?? I think it actually was the Country or was it County? As for the engine, I'm gonna hazard a guess at the early GTI lump? It was designed for off roading so it's hardly anything less? 1.8 n/a 8v?

Mycroft H

Limerick-man wrote: »

Bingo. Golf country was a golf with uprated suspension, bullbar, engine sheild and was fitted with the 1.8 8v gti engine and sometimes with the 1.6gtd. Partial credit to freakonaleash for the engine
