Now that I have put over 20,000 miles on my 850 since April, I am very impressed. It has a very nice power band, handles well, no torque steer, etc. I believe it will make a very nice ITS car. For those of you who hate the BMW's in ITS, may I suggest you build a Volvo 850. The aluminum DOHC 5-cylinder was designed with Porsche assistance. With 168bhp stock, and the ITCS being what it is. This car should be able to do very well. It certainly did well against the E36 in the BTCC, even as an estate.
If anyone is interested in building an 850, please email me. I have done some extensive research and can point you in the right direction.
