I'd be buying DCT more fun than manual once you learn how to control it

I remembered this thread when I rode passed a 'secret' dog park the other day. It's small, but then so is your dog, lots of parking, trees for cover or you can stay in the car if it's raining, doggie-doo bin and I've never seen another dog (or person) there. Best parking is on Derby but Lonsdale will get you there too. Back of the racecourse.

I think it is a case of death by a thousand cuts, the surface area of the bearings is quite small, presumably for packaging reasons when they designed the motor, there is a very small tolerance between the bearings and crank, the motor happily revs to over 8k rpm, the condition based servicing has the oil changes out to 20000km intervals, and it is a naturally aspirated 500 hp motor built to a price point set by company accountants. Also, because it has 10 cylinders and a seven speed gearbox in a North - South orientation and the letter S and numbers 8 and 5 in its name it has terrible feng shui. I believe it can be improved with mirrors... ?

Long shot but after left side wiper arms and blades. Also wiper stops if possible

you need a nice europlate to finish it off

Yeah I don't think it has gone quite that far

Hi. What price?

Not everyone likes the chrome blackout but im a fan.

?. Go take one for a drive Chris...make sure it's the 1.6T DCT7 AWD though. Sports mode, AWD pedal down and piss 3 & 4 liter euro owners off. I love it. Could come to a coffee Sunday but I don't think it would be appropriate with all the badge lovers

Hyundai drivers... ?

Classic old school big motor Benz win ! Is this the Performance version with LSD ?

forever analogue for me ! ?

Putting some real tires on it

Real carbon fibre spoiler and diffuser fitting. Notice the ‘spare’ bits in the last photo that of course required removal to refit.

And a correction

Being denied an inheritance sucks. especially when it involves a BMW. :sigh:

would you be interested in my 2012 M135i? its not as new as you'd like but its way more powerful and quick. lots of goodies and maintenance done also
