But fuel costs !

Yummy. Sell the house and buy it Jooles.

Ugh that Jacket at the start..... he looked like a stick man in a fat suit.

Haha, I've got enough on my plate with two old dunger Snoarers to care for. Pending redundancy at work too so that's not helping matters

A friend in Florida showed me this X5 fixed with a Toyota 2UZ-FE VVTi 4.7L V8 replacing the old leaky M62 V8

People hate anything, can't please em all haha. I had some people saying on other forums I'd ruined my 'quality German luxury car' (1993 e36 325i) by putting in a 'crap Jap engine' (1UZ-FE V8) Gotta laugh.

BMW 540is E34 in a darker blue colour, East Tamaki Absoutely mint!! Plate was BMW AG Now I want an E34 540is

Scam much...

Oh epic. So what did you buy?

Great effort. Nice clean build. How does it sound?

There's still about 3 litres of your oil outside Kyu's cafe

Took the 330i up north today, did 150km each way on some A & B roads. What a great drive. It seems thats where the car excels, open road driving. Just great performance from the 5 speed auto and the low / mid range pull from the M54B30 Love the road holding and stability. Ride is not too bad either. It's no wonder M sport or M cars are so well liked.

Are these direct injection hence such dirty inlet ports?

Your M5 will always be cooler though. Just remember that.

Not everything, but anything funny etc.

What spec is that Torque wrench Glenn? I've got a few Toptul ones. Is it viable to get them re-calibrated or just buy new ones?

E46 330i If you hold down the ASC button, traction control goes out, shown with the triangle symbol in the middle of the dash, but if you continue to hold it a yellow e-brake light comes up Does any one know what that indicates?

HUGE trucks driving on the motorway in the middle or 'fast' lane at 80-90kp/h They should be banished to the 'slow' lane!

Reasonable

Looking at laser cutting machines!

Your E36 M3 makes a better noise though. Better than M3 E46s too.

I've got 5GB of data for my E36 build. Toyota Soarer UZZ32 notes are 6gb I think. I love backing everything up! Including weird internet finds.

No denying that's epic! Needs more pistons though.

Any electric motor is never going to make a sound a V8, V10 or V12 can, so they aren't comparable. ICEs are always going to be less efficient, yes heat and noise is a reflection of energy loss but who cares, that is what makes a petrol or diesel engine what they are. The essence of a car for me is the noise it makes or can make. If I don't like the sound I'm not interested. Generating a fake noise through speakers is a joke. Especially if it replicates such an engine.
