Hey guys,

Okay, I may have spoken too soon when I called her sluggish. With four people inside it can be, it's also the cabrio, so that's going to add more weight. I'm going to change the oil and fuel filters, stick a k&n into the airbox and see if that brightens her up a bit.

I will definitely take a look for any cracks in the intake.

Also, when I say sluggish I'm comparing that to my old Volvo S40 T4, which was a brute, so perhaps I'm being a little optimistic with the power I expected from the E46.

Does anyone know how much a CDV delete will cost? I'm told this will remove the weird flat spots in first gear?

Thanks guys
