Okay guys sorry about the confusion i wasn't trying to abuse his car or anything i just knew something was a miss when the engine was bogged down when it shouldn't be..... i know the guy well and when he let me borrow it he told me to have fun with it.... so i didn't abuse his car and when i returned it instead of having less than a half of a tank of gas like it had i filled it all the up for him..... just know that i wasn't trying to abuse his car.... i myself drive a 1998 328is i was just wanting to compare my car with his power wise

actually bogging while improperly launching is quite common, in other words it was you not the VGA.

actually it wasn't the VSA. It was probably the slave cylinder they put in because too many retards were blowing their diffs.
If you were launching his car it was abusing it. Bottom line. Can I have your friends email?

Lol, i'm sure the guy knew he wasn't going to drive it like an old lady. Hmmm, let's see, you let some young kid borrow your sports car to take on a date with his g/f for their one year anniversery. Yeah, naturally he's not going to try to show off or anything......

As others said, you shouldn't launch this car without a little knowledge. High RPM clutch drops are required to remove most strain from the driveline during a hard launch; bogging can destroy the differential.
