I love my little Si! I found a one owner Si with full documentation at BMW Munchen with the upgraded engine from 2016. New coilover suspension and some minor chassi tweaks makes it very impressive on curvy roads, very understated and looked over car! It is a bit intresting that they used the gearbox from the Z4 because it is shorter and suits better when the engine is moved back, together with a shorter section of the propshaft. The also have 4:10 rear axle ratio and the suspension is no regular M sport setup but tweaked especially for the Si. A note is that the Vanos is still on the engines but the Valvetronic is gone because it didn't like the high revs and was a risk for problems in racing so instead they use a regular throttle flap.
I have one, and the car has a really badly running engine, if the gas pedal is pressed 2% the car wants to stall, and the whole package feels like is has 130 horsepower.... Any ideas what could be the cause?

Super underrated video!
Very cool car!
really nice!
Would love this on the backroads :D It's not always about the horsepower.
Had one of these and preferred it to my GT86! Had a lovely motorsports character. Found the 86 was lacking in that..
The N45 is a good base for a Turbo.
i dont think so, n46 has better engine block
I have the same car, I enjoy using it but I am thinking of selling it because my wife can't get used to it, greetings from Germany
