Apex 693 Report post Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Like I stole it, back roads, AIDS off heavy metal cranking (disturbed is good) at full volume.. Unless the missus in the car, then its Phil Collins at level 4, a mochachino and sedate pace. Actually this being a public forum, I drive to the conditions at all times and when they chance I increases my speed.

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted July 9, 2008 If its your first car dude ... best advice (and im not being a twat) is gain some experience with your car before giving it the thrash. Best way to do this is a track day. you will learn the limits of your vehicle in a 'safe' environment. In my first two weeks of driving my first car I managed to spinout around a around corner in the wet and end up on someones front lawn. Taught be a shitload about respect for my vehicle and more importantly it gave me my first real experience of "What If". Im glad 16years on I've slowed down a lot on public roads thanks to the NZ police if you catch my drift. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted July 9, 2008 Im with Hybrid… Exactly the same boat. Nailed a few curbs, corn fields, road sighs.. hell Papakura was like Hazard county when I was 15!! A 328i Auto with AIDS on is as safe as houses and if you manage to lose it you are seriously a muppet and should get yourself an FXGT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, don't knock them FXGT's- I started driving here in NZ with a Jap-spec '86 model, and it was awesome! [sigh] What is AIDS by the way? Last I heard it was an incurable STD, so I'm assuming it's some form of electronic traction control? I'm looking at E30's and E34's as my next purchase, so might be a bit new fangeld for me! lol Oh, and to answer the question, apparently not very well! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antallica 15 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 I like the E36 owners manual... states that 'Sport Mode' is for 'enthusiastic' driving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 Enthusiasm (á¼Î½Î¸Î¿Ï…σιασμός) root - en-theos = in God. An enthusiast is a person inspired by god. So basically my BMW in sport mode is god. I like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antallica 15 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 I miss my old E30, her ass was much heavier and easier to slide (accidentally of course) than the E36. But 1.8L vs 2.5L ? no brainer...... I wonder if the owner of my old E30 is on here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
