    Got around to dropping the E30 off at the local mechanics for a wheel alignment and WOF, pre-certification. Was expecting it to be pulled up for something, but not this stuff. The guy was notably a lot more thorough than normal with our other cars (not complaining). Biggest problem is the new XYZ struts fouling on the front tyres. The perches and springs are touching the tyres which is very odd considering the tyres are OEM spec (205/55/15) along with the basket weaves (15”x7” et24). I followed the install booklet for spring height also as the book states that ideally the spring should compress by 1/3rd when on the ground. Best outcome will be the supplier providing shorter springs that maintain the nice feel of the current spring rate and hopefully come to the party and pay for the front tyres to be replaced. Doubt the latter will happen to be honest. Next on the list to fix will be the headlight aim although this may be tough without the gadgetry. WOF guy wasn’t keen to adjust as he was afraid he’d break the brittle plastic adjusters. Something I’ll have to figure out. Sway bar bushes, wiper blades, loose bolt and boot clamps are all easy fixes and oversight by me. The leak on the new Z3 rack is hopefully a banjo bolt that just needs a nip up, fingers crossed its not coming from the rack body. A soon as the strut headache is sussed, off to the certifier!!

    Daily driver. Gotta be. I drive a 1989 5 litre V8 Mercedes every day - a 50km round trip of twisty rural roads, and decent highways. What's that? A BMW V12 wouldn't survive...? Seriously - this needs to be driven.

    There's a slew of dealers on tardme asking tarded prices. Rose City and Duttons spring to mind.... and the guy with the white E36 M3

    You would think for that price they would've put the throwing star covers on the correct way ?

    For the past 4 years I have run RDA rotors and either Stoptech or Hawk pads. Never had any issues and the Rotors seem to last well.

    If there is a market, make it! I just wonder what they have to do to make it exciting, an 8000rpm M engine 6, 8 or 10 cylinder is as good as it gets.. glorious analogue sounds that stir the soul. The sound a car makes is one of the most important aspects of loving or hating something, in my opinion. An electric powertrain is inherently boring, yes it can go fast but you need more than just whines and whirs to feel connected and something soulful out of it. So I'd be interested to see what they do to make it worthy of the M badge.

    That's an easy one and they already know how to do it - engine noise via speakers
