Really nice car. Youll be enjoying the s54 no doubt. Wood grain can be painted with really high qaulity interior paint. Gives a really nice silver finish that doesnt wear if your wanting to change the interior. Precision Autowerks does it AKL, Northshore. Talk to Paul Gibson, tell him josh sent ya and to look after to you

HellBM have a few

Ahhh thats not cool Let him know from us our thoughts are with him.

Sweet, got a bit of a possie going then

The e46 EGS is unfortunately not as trick as your custom setup. However if you can get over the fact they change gear or more importantly dont change gear when you want it just requires more fancy brake work and car placement. Also be ready to catch any brake induced weight shifted oversteer moments. Its not all that scary, you just have to be mindful of it and youll be more than fine! I left my in sport and didnt even both changing the gear in the end. Was just flooring it most of the time and letting the EGS sort it out. I gave up trying to tell it what to do and it ignoring me.

haha

Coming to the track day Tim ?

Ran my 330i several times at track days with quite a bit of success. The only thing with auto is you can really engine brake and it chnages gear at silly times in the corners, basically your never in the idle gear. It can be hard on the transmission so its not a thing you do all of the time. But it never did mine any harm at all. You will have a lot of fun in an e46 at the track, theyre a very poised car. Even better with 235/265 rubber on it

Happy birthday dude. to others, its a fun game we play, how many modling / tv ads can you find of simon on the internet. There are literally thousands. Well thats what ollie and I reckon anyways. . Josh I resized your picture because it didn't comply with forum rules. It is now 1x1. Thanks, the bimmersport moderating team

Its no z4 GT3 Simon but the americans do flare well. I think it should do pretty well in ALMS This is a factory run GT3 in action

Rad

Sweet cant wait .. will have gopro in the rear too for some of your FWD skids on turn 6 again

The good thing is its not like the sharks were actually at the beach area. The spot he was swimming around Maori Bay to Muriwai rocks has a big drop off shelf between the island and the Maori bay beach. I used to surf there when the swell was right you could get some great long waves as the swell popped out of the ocean in the middle of the bay. No doubt the sharks liked the steap drop off and rocky area.

My cousin is a prominant reporter for some major news outlets, he openly admits they play on words to sell the story. Its game to them and everyone bites Its easier to tell a lie then retract at a later date by difussion. You still 'sell' the story at that point in time.

Come and you can take mine for a drive. Just dont break it

Might have a mate with a v10 M6 turning up too. This is gonna be a goodie I think

First post updated with all details and rollcall. I reckon some of you out of towners should head up for a hoon

You have a PM

Keep the pictures and updates rolling in. The key to internet stardom good stuff Actually, question: where did you get that valve / actuator ? i need something like this for another project im working on.

Westy and I will be there ... all paid up. Mean, its been about a year

I know a sweet place in Fiji you can get parts from... edit: as over PM, hit up HellBM forum sponsor for a geniune ZF flush.

Tuners only mess around with maps they dont recode the ECU options and program sections. They may however be able to sort out the revdrop issue if they know what theyre looking for. (ICV Maps)

Sweet, will line it up

Its on a case by case basis and job complexity .. but nothing too extreme pricewise EG NOT silly dealer prices. PM me if interested and further info. Will get around to chucking a 'menu' up and an AD.

Agressive DSC, basically it will let you take your car to the absolute limits before it kicks in. About as hardcore as traction control gets. Perfect for going for it or track days. The standard mode (which you can still engage at the push of a button and is on by default) cuts in a lot earlier.
