Cheers for your help guys, the 350z is slowly catching me back up though! You can vote again each day, so if you could keep hitting the votes in it'd be much appreciated! BTW - in answer to ones question, yeah my car was on the front of Performance BMW magazine (April 2007)! For more pics/scans of features etc CLICK HERE

I found an interesting link to an online competition and decided to take part, now I'm hoping the BMW masses can help me to win! A computer game called 'European Street Racer' is being created (due for release later this year) and one 'lucky' person gets the chance to have their car entered into the game. Candidates were to submit their cars before a deadline and now the competition is open I need your vote! UPDATE:- It seems that the web programmers have prevented linking, if the above fails to work please copy and paste the below command line:- http://www.bhvftp.com/www/esr/list.php?list[action]=top10cars VOTE 10 POINTS VOTE 1 POINT If anyone could help to vote my car (red e36 coupe) 10 points (I'm a cheeky bastard I know) so that it can represent E36's in the gaming world please do so! If you fancy being unfair and voting down the opposition please don't let me stop you lol. Cheers, Chris P.S. Voting becomes available again each day so check, check again!

Hiya mate! Do you have any independant BMW magazines over your way? Perhaps if you contact PBMW they might work something out? That most certainly is a bonnet bra, made by Colgan - customs sport bra I got the original photos from PBMW now, so better links for those that are interested... Cheers (CLICK TO ENLARGE - 1600x1067)

Although I don't come on here all too often - been real busy with work/social; I thought I'd share with you a few scans from this months issue of 'Performance BMW Magazine'...I'm really happy with the shots and am trying to get my hands on the original copies of the photos!

What makes it so expensive? Is it that you can't source parts within NZ? The M50 inlet manifold is from a 325, it needs to be modded to fit, the conversion kit is available in the UK and the supplier would most definately send to NZ if necessary! The same applies for the Enlarged Throttle Body and even the Viper 2 chip! The M52 has more potential than most of the other lumps due to the heavy restrictions set upon it direct from BMW for taxation laws!

Ah no way, an old local! Where abouts did you live? In newquay or just nearby? You'll be happy to know that Newquay has been ruined by a large influx of northern monkeys in the holiday season!

You could be right, my assumptions are based upon plots taken from members of other forums running similar modifications. This graph was produced by an M52 running exactly the same setup as me but with the addition of some US 3.0 M3 cams. There are many running identical to me with the exception of the decat and pullys and they're seeing 240bhp @ fly. What are typical mods carried out in NZ on the M52? Do you have the facilities and parts available to derestrict them?

England

New gaitors, black nappa leather with two-shades of blue stitching (Hartge colours)... Also note the rear electric window switches and relocated sunroof switch. New coloured Hartge centrecaps... JANUARY 2007 On go my new winter wheels, the weather in England is pretty bad this time of year... the salt on the roads would eat through my polished dishes in a week. So I got some Hartge single piece wheels for the winter! They are exactly the same style wheel as my split rims, but just 1-piece. And one arty to finish off with... Expect yet MORE pictures when I've got my new mirrors
