The auto box is a big bang of wanky mccuntface. The solenoids last about 20 gear changes.

Yeah, I'd never get an auto or a diesel. Also buying a well researched car is part of the fun and also the responsibility of upgrading. The N52 engine, while older, has the edge on reliability while the N53 has 20bhp more and a lower tax band but suffers with more issues. I'd want to open it up anyway. Breathing mods, remap, suspension etc.

Petty basic but I'd like to take a Honda CR-Z, rip out all the hybrid gubbins and stick a Vtec unit in it. It's such a fantastic looking little car and looks a hoot to drive. Originally I always envisioned it with a 1.6 Vtec which would probably be about right power wise, but why stop there? Imagine it with a 2.2. Ha!

Ay but its not very practical. Spec is a decent load space as well as a hoot...

The issue with the 330i is its a bit soulless. without some serious work its just an executive barge.
