  1. I just got to the point where the cost of putting my OEM nav vs features and the fact analouge tv is being switched off is sealing it for me. Internet teathered over Galaxy S2 and other andriod apps (soon to be RaceChrono) and other connectivity has really sold this for me. And now with 7 inch screen for e39. That totally a bit of me. Its now a true carputer without the silly box in the back.
  2. Couple of guys on here have done v8 conversions into e36's however I think mainly of the lexus varity. You could phone someone like Ray @ HellBM. 021 2 hellbm
  3. Sweet, cant wait for the review .. Keen on hearing about quiteness, wet lateral grip, dry lateral grip and shoulder strength.
  4. hmmm dam it, they dont support 255/40ZR17 in the PSS might have to go for the PS2's not that thats a too bad thing.
  5. 6 speed sequential, medium rate coil overs, single turbo N54, stand alone ECU, cage + seats + slicks ... = perfect track car. oh and welcome GTRs had orange/red tails.
  6. No I haven't ordered yet ... PM m3_power and ask him, hes recently got some for his.

  8. Hmmm im looking into these myself for the 540 .. probably import them as the dollar is stupidly good and tirerack.com is pretty cheap. Shipping isnt as nasty as I 1st thought either
  9. A few things can cause this to cause DOP (Dilution of Precision) ... placement of GPS receiver, buildings or built up environments, weather and satlillite numbers and the position of the satillite counts. Note as a satillite gets lower on its horizon it becomes more in-accurate thus causing a higher DOP value. BMW's nav computers have some smarts/logic built in to deal with this. Lock to road is activated to deal with bad GPS signal or loss of signal. Much better than google's iphone map software for example which has none and is shocking as a mobile in-car GPS app.
  10. didnt take long for someone to cheese up a perfectly visually balanced vehicle. Its like modding a M3 CSL .. ya just dont do it cause your going backwards.

    ITB M42

    Nice! .. Ive been looking into the flow dynamics of trumpets and internal (to the box) trumpet length .. Some interesting discussion around staggered lengths to circumvent vortext intruption due to firing order / backpressure of each cylinder. Also learnt that the air follows the walls of the trumpt and has a dead spot in the center. Mucking any of this up obviously causes power loss etc. I wish I was a bit more skilled with fluid dynamics software to even use it.
  12. Mines spent the last month (bar the track day) on stands with a battery charger plugged into 'garage computer' and a fankenstein with of cables fused into the ECU. it lives all day with the ignition on while its gets probed (sounds a bit dodge)
  13. Thats quite ammusing .. This is the VIN that got burnt into my MSS50 DME when I aligned the EWS2. Its now e36 m3 evo DME with 318ti sprayed on it. heh
  14. Hey Sam, if you wouldnt mind ? WBACG82030KE80236
  15. Will just be cost recovery after they realised what frontal impact laws theyve broken.
  16. You can fix this easily with the correct toe out settings. Take it to someone who knows what there doing and with an alignment machine. I can recommend Justine at tire tech on the shore. I run pretty mental camber in the front of mine and dailed out any twitchiness with toeing out. Handles like a dream now. On and off the track

    new M3 DTM

    You could actually get that amount of the s3 with a bit of work and a new turbo.
  18. Weight transfer to front over ridge under brakes, rear lockup + speed. Nice control ollie, recovered perfectly
  19. awesome man! I would have been pissing myself laughing doing that tank slapper too! good stuf.
  20. Nice one boys ... Ollie I think I was having an ass of a time after that as the tire where at the wrong pressures so you can see me loosing the line a lot in that vid .. New brakes for me

    Trackday wish list

    understeer sucks Dylan, go for a dedicated track car like a e36 m3 3.2. lighten it and chuck some slicks on = most fun with your pants on.
  22. hybrid

    new M3 DTM

    500hp and will weigh as much as a postage stamp

    RUSTY

    18's on a car that spose to run 15's will always look low but are actually practical as wheel height makes up for it. Diff ratio is another story.
