    Nice. Even with the big V8 donk in it, that car isn't light and can't imagine it being nimble and overly responsive.

    You would be surprised how well they get along. In normal mode it is a bit lethargic but put it in sports mode and it is a diff story, from about 3k on they get up and boogie. :)

    tyres are fine. its on 18z. and getting cert on munday.

    I think you missed the point. They are 205/35/18's when the correct size should be a 215/40/18 or 225/40/18. What it means is that you will be racking up the km's faster than you should be and the engine will be over-revving. Still - on the positive side you should never get a speeding ticket! :D

    Are these the springs that got you pinked Heino?

    What sort of $ you after?

    +1 would like to know if they are legal.

    The springs are 100% legal. Heino got pink stickered because his tyres were too small which put him under the legal limit. If you have a 4 cylinder E36 but with confidence :)

    hey guys my e38 came with some continentals 235/50/zr18. the rear ones are 60% worn now and need to get some tyres. calling the usual places gives me prices like $860 per continentals ??? ::o is there a cheaper good quality option? I really mean any specific brand/shop you guys would suggest for around 200 bux?--without kidding myself

    thanks in advance

    If $200 is your budget try Mag and Tyre Direct. They do a Rotalla for $200 in a 235/50/18. It is actually a really good value for money tyre, nice and quiet and decent grip in the wet. The bonus is because they are a forum sponsor you pay trade price on tyres. They are obviously not in the same league as a Conti but at 1/4 of the price who can argue?

    ehhh I'm pretty sure your capable of installing one of these yourself tristan, its quite easy!

    I don't know - it look's like he has trouble installing badges :lol:

    Seriously though, it is very easy to do, and only a few very basic tools needed.

    That is a good price Ray, you should have no trouble selling it, especially since it gives more "pulling power", the young boys should be all over it :D

    Like.

    Christ this is the dumbest thread I have seen in a while.

    Nathan

    I think we will see quite a few more of these threads coming through - it seems the general IQ level of Bimmersport members has dropped a great deal with the arrival of some new younger members :D

    All of the above, as they are both "illegal".

    /thread

    Youre taking the piss right? Think before posting this kind of stuff.

    I can see Tristan on Police Ten Seven now..

    Police officer: What’s your excuse for driving with those dangerous number plates son?

    Tristan: Well I asked a few people on the internet and they told me it was less dodgy to run them than no plates at all.

    Police officer: OMG FAIL GTFO. Always blow on the pie. $400 fine. Don't pass go.

    This, this and this.

    Quite frankly I am surprised you have not updated your showroom thread to include this :lol:

    I don’t know, that joker Brook from Hamilton had quite a few pages of nothing a while back.

    True, I forgot about him ........ must be an under 20 thing

    must be my settings, I get 16 pages, but I look at someone else who has the same amount of pages (eg Blackie or BRS) and you can actually see some changes.

    and yeah .. I realise the irony here.. I am adding to your pages of nothingness :D
