AKG motorsport do some very nice bushes!!! Very nice Have them everywhere on my M3

Hello guys!

Just wanted to find out whether any of you know a good shop in Christchurch to diamond cut polish alloy wheels.

Thank you all.

Saw this car before, I think it has a rebuilt engine... I could be wrong though...

I liked the page!! Very classy!! True BMW style! Love it!

Someone needs to buy it and take it further...

What?! I don't get it... SORRY.

Cool thanks for that!!! Will take that in mind.

Opposing opinion,

don't believe in directional tyres every car I drove with them on felt worse than same car with comparable asymetric or non directional tyres

Goodyear is also Michelins "mid priced " brand so they compare them to other mid range tyres

Would you be able to describe what were the main differences that you found with the directional vs asymetric?

Have got and want more of these, unfortunately they are not making them now

They are super impressive! sh*t when cold but heaps of grip when warmed up.

You mean the old F1s or new F1 directional?

Great! Sounds like very impressive tyre!!! I have old Symmetric F1s on my car now and I love them, these apparently, are on another level though...

Did anyone have any experience with Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 tyres?

Thank you.

Andrew and Gilmore. They are certified BMW paint and body shop in Christchurch. I am sure they will be able to paint your wheels in OEM colour.

Its not just M5s, it's E36s, E34s, M3s etc etc. I can't remember how they've explained it, but it does not effect the streering in any way. So I wouldn't really worry about that.

I could be wrong, but I think most of BMWs are a little lower on the driver's side... mostly on the rear.

You've just made my day!!! Line six BMW is legendary. I will start working hard now, so I could buy it in 5 years lol

PM'd. Thank you.

What is the exact offset on these? Thank you.

Lol

Awesome post!!! Thank you very much for explaining this!

So what is the max camber you can have??? I hope it is not uder 2 degrees of negative camber....

You don't really have to run your car in idle for too long. In my user manual it says; run for no more than 30 - 60 seconds if the weather is cold and then start driving. This is because if you run the car in idle for too long carbon dust stars building up inside your engine (because in idle not all the fuel is burning out), which could make some damage in the long run. Personally, I usually wait until the gauge arrow reaches the blue mark on the temperature gauge. After you started driving your car, keep the revs between 1,500 and 3,500 before it reaches operating water temperature. Then drive it for another 15 - 20 minute to warm your oil up, and you are safe to thrash it.
