I'd rather have a car thats built more for the track than just a straight line car.

can't fault that logic.

Well I just found out it's going to be atleast 12k to get my car fixed as is right now, that is unless the head is damaged then that will be about another 11k. I give up lol.

Thanks man and to everyone, and for an update, engine is gone, metal shavings from the turbo's went through the head and made it to the oil pan. Total repair right now is 25-27k. I'm going to go jump off a cliff now... lol. I'll more than likely be getting back into my little e30 318i after I get this car fixed.
