You need those towbar bits. Cars without a towbar have the correct mounting points without the towbar (obviously). So either go get those. Or take to your towbar with a hacksaw and cut the tabs off.

Cheers

That is the question

I'd expect 6 - 7 tops for it.

Rough indication of asking price please

Confirmed by BMW CEO of North America, Tom Purves, BMW will likely top its range with a premium 4-door sports sedan. Most likely to be called the BMW 8-Series, the car will be based on the BMW CS Concept shown at the Shanghai Auto Show last month. When it hits the roads, the production version will compete with the likes of the Mercedes CLS, the upcoming Porsche Panamera as well as the Audi A7. The Concept CS illustrates that BMW is “predominantly interested in building very beautiful luxury sport sedans,” Purves told Automotive News. Measuring longer than the BMW 7-Series at 5.10 metres or 200.8 inches the BMW CS Concept, when put into production, is expected to be powered by a 6.0 liter V12 engine. We can also expect a V8 and V10 variant as well. Purves says that the reaction the BMW CS Concept has been positive. “Our dealers, having seen the photos, are very excited,” he says. “They love it. I don’t know the research from the auto show. If media and dealers like it, there’s a good chance the customers will.” BMW CS Concept Gallery:

Audi claims that the new Audi A5 and S5 handle better than any Audi ever made, but can it take on the king of handling? Mike Duff of AutoCar put the Audi S5 up against the BMW 335i and here is what he found. Handling: Handling is said to be better than previous Audi’s with the use of the 40:60 front-rear torque distribution found in the RS4, but BMW counters with steering response and perfect handling balance. The Audi S5 still keeps up by being more agile than the 335i with near-perfect traction out of slow corners. Basically the sportiest non-RS badged car made by Audi, Audi S5 holds handling up to par with the 335i. Engine: Audi S5 takes this one with its 4.2 liter V8 354 horsepower. The BMW 335i uses a 3.0 liter inline-6 300 horsepower engine. 0-62 mph: Audi S5 leaves the BMW 335i in the rear-view-mirror with 5.1 seconds while the BMW 335i takes 5.5 seconds. Room: One six-footer can fit in the rear-seat of the BMW 335i more comfortably than the Audi S5, where they will find their knees crushed and their heads pressed against the roof lining. Pricing: The Audi S5 costs a whopping £6030 more than a 335i in SE trim, and £4155 more than the 335i M-Sport trim. Winner: BMW 335i. While the Audi S5 offers a little more kick than the BMW 335i, the huge price difference, according to Duff, can’t be justified.

I totally agree with you. When did this cut off happen though? I left school (7th form) 5 years ago - I remember being taught discipline there. I find it hard to believe schools have changed a huge amount in that time (but it wouldn't surprise me if they had)

I can't see the point in doing it really. Go single

HB David - Got some awesome footage of you at taupo. You feature heaps in the latest video that we will cut soon.

Badass

average! wtf am i gonna drink!

Isn't the 666 mani LHD only?

That makes sense - cheers Mike. What I was meaning was it is dumb to have a stiffer rear end but - it ain't really!

I'm one of those sad buggers who commutes and its a PITA - I will take it to a dealer and see if they can sort it.

Since when does it make more sense to have a semi trailing arm car with stiffer rear suspension?

I think they have there merits. If I was doing an M20 turbo. I'd buy TCD's log manifold - easily the strongest/best out there.
