That's a beautiful car.

On a side note, what are those tyres like to drive on in the wet? I'm currently looking for new tyres for my mums S4 wagon. They look like the business in the dry.

Agreed on the glovebox Paul. I did set Gus to seeing what he could do, however he wasn't feeling himself (for a change) and couldn't get his fingers to work. And you can see why I want the new gear knob too. Just worn. It would be nice to have had it in.

Hopefully, you'll see it in NZ Autocar soon. That's what all Andrew's hard work is really about. Thanks heaps for this afternoon Andrew & Gus. :thumb: I owe you big time.

Thank you to Brent also for hopefully supplying a part to diagnose another intermittent alarm.

RJ, On the tyre front, I honestly couldn't tell you. They were fitted on Friday, driven home in the rain, but they might now be scrubbed in. In the dry, awesome. In my experience (as we had the A008R's on the Abarth's and Alfa's), they are great until you hit standing water. Hence the lack of grooves and the race compound rubber.

m325i, specs, well keep an eye out. But 212kW and 400Nm (factory spec). Dyno'd at 164kW & 440Nm (@wheels, rolling road). 14.75 sec quarter is the fastest I've run so far. These tyres should help though.

Thanks Paul. McMillans promise that they have ordered the correct part this time and BMWHO will have it on Tuesday, so I will have it by Friday.

Believe it when I see it. Would have been nice to have for the photoshoot.
