I did the club circuit just to be able to do the National. Club is a bit too slow and boring. Nothing to be nervous about on National, just start in the slow group and get some seat time. 🙂- 294 replies

I was on the National getting hassled by all the race cars in my sh1tbox P11. Saw your car at around 8am, want sure who the owner was and was in a bit of a rush for a 🚽 😅 Next national is in November which is ages away. b13e28fb-c036-4bae-a491-29538f0b1c68.mov- 294 replies

Buy with confidence, James changes the oil in his cars probably more than his undies and never takes them to redline.

Best to get an N47 powered car that’s had the timing chain job done already. -

Pull the lower rear seat base up and see if there’s signs of original black paint there.

Looking at options for getting a 200kg engine on a pallet sent to me from Napier. Any recommendations on a company to use?

I’ve got my M5 on their classic cover package and there’s no where in the policy about mileage restrictions, for 5 years now. They do low ball each year for renewal in value which is annoying and an extra $100 for a valuation to get agreed value. Had a claim on the X3 recently for Fr bumper damage and it was quite painless. While the work carried out by their choice of shop was good, I found things in the engine bay not re-installed properly. I wasn’t given a choice of which shop did the work. Have been with state, ami and tower over the years. Have only ever made 3 claims including the recent X3 one. AA hands down the best. The rest can ggf’d.

@Blackie Have you considered this?

Compared to Mtech I the 540i Mtech II suspension gets M5 front shocks, lower front springs. Progressive and taller rear springs with different shocks to accommodate. Ride height is 10mm lower. Don’t quote me on this but I think swaybars are slightly stiffer too.

Car as a service bullshit.

The starter motors must be beefed up to cope with all the extra work, I haven’t really heard much at all on early failures in bimmers with stop/start tech.

Echoing @Olaf ‘s comments. Loving the F25 30d. We average 8.6l/100km and a tank lasts about 2-2.5 weeks. Ours is msport nz-new but with standard suspension. It is a tad harsh over sharp bumps with the RFT’s but it’s not a deal breaker. The 20d is a little lack lustre, you’d struggle overtaking up a hill easily, which is my benchmark for performance. The 35i is nice but I could see us having to fill up once a week. Compared to the 30d the 35i is quicker from 100km/h onwards when i was test driving.
