bravo

Source My comment was based on this, so if its wrong, or I've read it wrong, then I take it back.

Fair enough, but m52/m543 are hardly light either. (m52 same as m20, m54 plus 10kg, m30 plus 30kg). I would like to throw one raound a few corners to feel exactly how much of a difference there is. Might help balance my 15kg plus of car audio in the boot lol.

Looks alot like your dog Conrad...

Still want to know why. Not because I want to be e-thuggin' on ya, but because want to understand your POV. Need to know where the goal post is as have to start budgeting/saving if I want to get serious (which I think I may do).

Why. Have been toying with m30 for a little while now and so far the only thin g against it is that Tims car didn't feel as fast as a passenger as I thought it would be. Then again he wasn't pushing it and it was wet. Ramp Road 360 FTW. Seriously, head skim, cams, and then possible turbo one day - why not? And surely much cheaper than m52/54 and alot more available. A damaged e34 535iA with lowish kms went for $1050 plus buyers premium at Turners yesterday morning. Stock 155kw 305Nm = 25% HP increase and nearly 40% TQ increase over stock m20b25. Push that out to say 170-180kw easy enough (apparently) and heard of some 200kw+ N/A examples. Edit: Oh and m30 weighs about the same as Iron block m52.

Link Rough as f**k, but something different.

Reckon. There's enough decent rides now to make a go of it.

Which 2.8? M52 or M30?

My brother used to be the guy that drives the cars off the ship. (Not for BMW though I don't think). Once sideswiped a brand spanking new Ford XR FPV cutting a corner. He was quite careful, so must have been a horrific mistake. The company didn't mind all that much, but I bet the new owner was right f**ked off with the additional delay waiting for another car to arrive from the factory.

Movie prop???

3 inch gap!!!! that is higher than stock! Stock is about 2 inches max. Post up a pic.

Wondering the same thing. Looked at the pic for ages before convincing myself I was seeing things correctly.

1996 Galant right now. Soon to be an e30 though.

Pretty dead heat for me between Sense' Beautiful Science, Pagani and Moontide. So I'll give you a hand and vote Pagani seeing as I normally wouldn't vote at all. Don't mind Ollie, he's biased. We have a member on here that was competing for Miss AutoSalon 2 years ago.

Nah Proteus is my vessel. 60ft and capable of 20 kts.

Yeah. Was bored at work. Not much to do with all the rain. Finished all my office work days ago.

I know - Like I said, he kayaked out to rescue it but lost his kayak. It was a friends. Him and his olds are looking after Reedy's while they are away. It hit the rocks off Reedy's landing.

Hey man, recognise you from nzice I'm echothreezero in those parts - was after that V1 of yours that got pinched if you recall. Welcome.

That dude at the computer is a legend working in that chaos. I have enough trouble keeping track of my files with the office tidy.

Why do Ferarri and Holden drivers always wear their brands livery? Sure I have a BMW jacket, but I save that mostly for wearing at the track to show loyalty there. That aside, if you are stupid enough to post a vid with enough details on to lead to prosecution you deserve to get caught.

n00b. Tourings are hot.

Surely you have more chance of getting the 25 cheaper? 500pounds ono vs 650 pounds buy now? Is that the going rate for an e30 over there?? Holy hell if it is.

That suspension is hard core. for half a second i thought it was a modified rear macpherson strut conversion until I saw the tie rod. If you can more pics please!! Not in any position to utilise it myself but just interested in seeing more pics of this car and the guys ideas. Would love to have a chat with him. Targa weapon FTW!

They look alot like the weaves you can get on some Jappas like mr2's. The bulging centre is the clue. Possibly incorrect offset. If anyone buys it, post up as I'm interested to see if the jappa weaves fit properly.

Agree - looks like its clenching its arse cheeks. rs 4 looks tits. If it weren't for the earlier audis looking so fat-arsed they'd have an almost unblemished style record.
