It's meant to be one of the best Vec-C engines if thats any help

I have one and have always been impressed with it. It's so smooth and refined at any speed. I've just added a K & N panel filter to mine and derestricted the airbox.
Fuel economy averages 29 - 35 mpg, depending on the type of driving and there's always plenty of power when you need it.

They are a fantastic engine and VERY tunable.

It is a gem of an engine, a bit thirsty when driven properly but well worth it.

Well i had a mk5 astra after the Vectra, paid £4.6k for that a year ago, did a straight swop on a 03 plate 318 which was worth £5.5k, but its not that nice a drive if im honest and someone has offered an 06 Sri turbo for the Bmw
