RE topic: I would spend the money on the 535i engine, after having the privilege to drive a very well tuned one on the weekend I can see a lot of potential in that engine. Defiantly PM MrE34 for some advice as to what to do, you’d be amazed at what his gained through a good fuel system over haul, it puts down a lot of power and torque is responsive and I would bet it would rival your average tired E34 M5 in a straight line. Lovely engine. Could look at a Turbocharger if you want BIG power

When I say unit I mean the white piece the bulbs sit in not the whole OBC!

Yea I found the guide than you sir. It’s actually not the way I removed my OBC and is a way complicated way of doing it, I did as they did above and it takes ten minutes to get out, I was just wondering if it the fiddly part of replacing the bulbs justified to save cost over a new unit. I will go through the pain of calling BMW to get a cost on the replacement panel…

Looking at doing this, is it the best option or are genuine replacement panels cheap easy to obtain? Any experience? http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/542158

Is it not light silver grey bison leather like in the 540is.

Your seats are light grey and not white ya turkey, no wonder it does not match I have fibre new coming out to fix my E30 dash tomorrow, has a slight crack, and it seems a much better option that swapping it out as that looks like a real mission. Will report back.

sh*t thats a hot car!

Whilst not my cup of tea the big guys put a lot of time and effort into their cars and there are some very nice ones on display, hundreds of thousands spent on quite a few of them, some amazing stuff. I think there is a place for Modern Euro’s as they have no Japanese competitors in this modern age, the Euro scene is growing fast with the lack of Modern Japanese performance cars available.

Bimmersport could pull a nice stand of E30's on wide wheels together if they tried! Shame they didn’t feature any of our cars, I guess Tuned European doesn’t fit the ideal that Performance car would like people to subscribe to, shame really because the E30’s looked really hot, hotter than some of the junk that made the cut, to be fair though there just aren’t that many Euro’s that fit the “teen scene” that is Performance Car Magazine. Eurosport getting amongst it since ages ago.

What do you do Dan??

Not me... I aim for Dio Girls.

That was my thoughts on Kings, I had them back in the day and they actually sagged over time… bugger all time. How much does the King race springs lower the car though, it’s a F/L M325i and has the ghay lower in the back factory look at the moment. I used to just cut coils until I found the correct stance but that’s a no no these days, what’s the deal with compressing springs to achieve desired stance?? Does it take the entire rate out of the spring leaving them saggy?? And yes I know I should get some H&R or Vogtlands but our man Keith has none in stock and not have any for a while.

Wanting to lower my E30 but want the perfect stance. Please post a picture and state what you have done to achieve the look. Example Vogtland E30 30mm front Votgtland E36 25mm rear Un moded Shocks F&R Anyone used King Springs?? I want a raked look like my old Touring but lower overall. Car has 15" BBS weaves. Cheers.

2JZ-GTE, would be a carnt but I bet he could do it.

Touring’s are so common around here these days Good luck Sam, have fun with it. Happy it has gone to a good (read: better) home and will be turned into the beast I always wanted it to be but couldn’t afford to create. Cant wait to see the Rotor conversion and bosso body kit

Well done, did I even mention that I love Dakar yellow and think you are a top guy?? Congratulations, I would spend my entire lunch breaks eating my sandwiches in the back of new seven series.

Nice car.

Yep, don’t write it off completely yet, you just need to give it a day or two and build up your skills! I started with the Megane RS250, surprise surprise, and loved it, no other driving game has accurately portrayed the way a FWD actually handles before nor has a game had and ability to throttle modulate so well. Im upto tear three and love that it automatically adjusts the components to whatever you are driving, for example a track may be to bumpy for my GT3-RS so I can switch to my Megane or M3 to compete and it simply rigs me against evenly matched cars. Also, you have to admit the Drifting is the most realistic portrayal by a long shot, once again coming back to the throttle accuracy and steering response, it took me two hours to get the hang of it and it’s so awesome my mates can’t even drift on the pro setting. Couple of things that suck and are still NFSish is that all opponents are stickered up to the max, “full race conversion” makes the car near impossible to drive and is not reversible and that the online gaming is set to medium dynamics only and the chumps that race online are useless and cheat.

Will have to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait some more..... and see but the best driving game available to date is Shift, many car gamers will agree. I only buy car games and play all of them on all platforms and I am as embarrassed to admit NFS made a good game as the next guy but there is no denying its awesomeness, it is far far from being crap. Set all settings to hard and turn all drivers’ aids off and tell me it’s not the most realistic game out, it makes GT5 Prologue fee as unrealistic Ridge Racer. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to finish it but it does have good content and very hard and challenging races, a lot harder than any other game I have, it’s all in the settings though, set it to Pro, Hard and aids off Post up your PS3 names and I challenge youz to a dual! Mine is TTEETT

If what’s real, the car or the experiment? Car has been out for a while now and is real, experiment, not so much. I noticed CamB has his own screen in the video Nice vid, cheers!

What wheel are you using?? Its all about adjusting the settings. Set driver mode to professional and turn all driver aids off, the contrast is massive. Dynamically it shits all over any other driving game I have played, its brilliant. Drive the Nordschleife in a E36 M3 and it will all make sense.

Need for Speed Shift pwns Forza. Best driving game ever. And thats coming from a GT nut.

They are if you think one will keep up with a 100K+ BMW and Audi's around Taupo and leave them for dead on a back road while returning 7l per hundred consumption. They dont look cool though Frenching all over this thread since ages ago.

I have infinite credit memory card for GT4, its great! I don’t know how the guy got it. While you play your GT4 a little boy waits. Waits and hopes that Sony will hurry the f**k up and realise GT5.

No.
