hybrid

Thank god its now out of reach.. was the nastiest looking paint job ever. It looked like those colourful silk Davonport boxers you use to get from farmers in a three pack for $8 .... mmmmm sweaty Im actually still laughing after reading that .. best post ever

nice very well done

I did a 1:16.9 in my e30 with no seats and a race shell / old slicks etc I reckon I could shave another 1.5 maybe more off that but have been chasing brake gremlins the past two track days so haven't had the chance. Ollie, I think for the e46 m3 its just a weight thing, the more you can take out the better the time will be. It will give you a lot of confidence for sure, and there are a lot of suspension mods you can do and stay DD. Have a chat with Ray and ask nicely to take his for a drive when you're back:)

ahhh auto salon cars .. had a few friends in them, and even win them for NZ. its funny how the show car fad died. I always wondered what happened to the cars afterwards .. I guess a few unfortunately were stored and kept. These sorts of car were where "gets lots of looks" trade me ads came from. Would cost a bit to scrape all that fibreglass and bog off it and restore it unfortunately.

Cheers fellas A lot of it is because people just dont like the faster frame rates of 48 fps. I actually think its quite good especailly in the faster action sequences. The next Avatar is being shot in 60fps and will screen at that speed too The big boys are dictating it now, not legacy 'film' industry. most theaters are digital so its not so much a problem.

Congrats dude! thats some bloody quick driving for a road car.

No worries, the DVD is of the 2011 m3 24hour race, this post is the 2012 Schubert Z4 GT3 which I suspect got cut short by their cars not finishing, so the director just cut a 20min and put it on Vimeo. Here is what I think you're after ? http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=40968

A few months a go the wife and I decided to go check out the new set of the Hobbit just out of Matamata. I got inspired to do some photography of The Shire. enjoy

I wish cars still in the shop.

Thats already been done, yes its possible to jack into the tape input. Its also possible to send the signal to the MID on what track your on. pretty cool .. Sorry its been ages since ive seen the link for it. But if you search youtube / net youll find it. I think it was a 7 series?

Enjoy

could almost call this a e46 m3 gtr ... almost

Known brands stamp their springs. Even the road KW suspension kits which use eibach springs get stamped eibach. Sorry can't help otherwise.

looks awesome ray! I've always loved the lines of the hardtop on e46 m3 cabs.

Enjoy http://www.streetfire.net/video/24hours-on...t-1_2347121.htm Go buy the DVD for the full english sub titled version. This is a mix of German and english. Block out a couple of hours for this one.

I disagree .. Porsche GT3 M3 CSL M3 GTS hell even the new 1M is incredible. Every car manufacture makes a hardcore version that can be raced. Its just that the US doesnt see all of these models. Its certainly doesnt mean the M brand is dead or dying by any means.

BMW US is different to BMW globally. This isn't a new thing. State side has always had 'special' US only cars made up for them. They have a bigger market so can afford to come up with a whole new model. Mean while the real cars (CSL, M3 GTS, e36 m3 and m3 evo and any e46 m3 with real headers) the rest of the world have access too. Jalopnik is being a bit nieve and possibly fishing with this article. Really it aint nothing new and in typical US fashion the world is ending, but only in the US. (or the world as the like to call it) I wouldn't worry about such things.

Badass!

I love the gopro camera array on the barriers. Bullet time ftw

Its perfect .. good job on the wheels, perfect colour combo also selected the right tires, the whole thing is done right.

Hot off the press Enjoy

someone totally needs to run these in the race series. For hilarity factor at least.
