didn't I? it's mint!

why don't you just buy larger brakes if you need larger brakes? much simpler

nice! I just drove the Valencia Street circuit (almost unwittingly) which was cool...not many decent pics though

I'm kinda over Evo - it's a good magazine, but there's only so many times you can read about someone else driving a car. I do like the features they do of rallying etc. I had a sub for 6 months and didn't renew. I much prefer Top Gear the TV show - it's good to be a bit irreverant and doesn't take itself too seriously (like Evo). The UK is heaven for car mags - any decent bookshop will have a wall dedicated to them. Am over Total BMW - nothing interesting A lot of car mags just push products, which gets a little boring after a while. Fav magazine of all time was Speed, an aussie mag which was a little bit tuner based, but intelligently so and they had some great articles etc. Although, I might not like it as much now Road & Track is great, as is Car & Driver. my 2p

i dig the old car/new build thing. these are awesome

badass , would own any of them

+1 - can't recall having any issues. Although it sounds like a great excuse for speeding!

ah wrong, you need a manual starter mate for the flywheel - they have a different teeth pattern.have had the same prob before

it is a generous dyno - my old 325i ran at 107rwkw - am interested to see 328i numbers, expect around 110-115 i reckon?

I love it, thanks for update G!

I don't get DJing - I prefer real music

I've never understood the attraction of working with computers as a job - I prefer talking sh*t

money vs benefit might not be great, but it sure is different! DRTDVL, there's no rear parcel tray in a touring I'm not that fussed on the tourings - they're noisier than a coupe due to extra bits and pieces out back too which is a pain

finally, get some video

badass. i want one

duuude...really?

cheers guys!! I actually have been sick as hell for the last 3 days after a great pre-birthday weekend (Friday=heavy metal bar + lots of JD and coke, Saturday = solid afternoon drinking with cousin and Sunday = Goodwood Festival of Speed, which by the way was absolutely awesome, I'll try post up some pics and vids) so I have not had a chance to celebrate properly. will be doing some catch up this weekend and will have a fair few for you guys too. no-homo Cheers Gus

bah, when I had our car in London, got 3 x £120 parking fines in 2 months.

I will own one of these at some point

give people the choice to see bad language or not - no one can complain that way replacing "rape" with "vtec" trivialises it even more - vtec is a perfectly good standalone word

one of my realistic dream cars. but I want a green one

4 door M325i?

a 318iS might keep up with a 325i in first gear? after that it would be destroyed, unless it's a tired 2.5 with lots of sh*t in the car. handling difference is great, but you have to put up with a horrible sound. much better fuel consumption though

yep - full mtech 2 kit, 4 15" basket weaves, 6speed M3 Evo gear box, 5 spd ZF box (which I still have), E36 M3 steering rack and driveshaft, mtech 2 wheel. All sitting under my stairs doing nothing for a year. Rock n roll

i'll eat a testicle if that sells for more than the iS turbo did, mainly out of frustration.
