Tell me Ed , i'm curious
all those mods & all the knowledge you are keen to share , , , just how many track miles or trackdays have you covered in your MCoupe ?
You can be specific , I don't think it will take you long to add up.
Just for those who might read this thread & think you know what you are on about .
No problem - one trackday at Goodwood, call it 4 sessions on track, 12 laps per session, 2.3mile circuit - a round 100miles? My 3.0si for reference I did many more trackdays in, bur that's not the thrust of your point so we'll ignore that.
What then happened during/after my trackday in the M is the reason why I have done some research - the thing that you do to actually learn about engines - rather than drivveling on from your armchair about hearsay and supposition on the forums as you do. My engine suffered a failure causing me try to work out what may have gone wrong and to avoid it in the future. My research included reading into what alternative oil grades might be available, and the advantages and disadvantages of various oil grades, including oem. So you see the fundamental difference here is I've done my reading, so I'm arguing from an informed position. Track miles mean nothing when the subject requires research.
Now please do tell us all more about your oil temperatures in your TT - a totally different engine, using totally different technology, and a different grade of oil, but of course must have relevance here because otherwise you'd not have anything to talk about right?
How many have you done in
"track miles mean nothing "
so a expert now is someone who reads & researches , i see , that explains your bigoted attitude .
I was asking BMWZ4MC as i know he has other performance vehicles & i think would know the answer .
The whole topic of heat & the failings of the S54 interest me , ive owned 3 , i may at some point own another so its relevant & just so happened that i can monitor the oil temp on dash of current car so i did so over a 3 day drive .
Go back & read it properly , i posted what i thought were relevant points as to possible reasons why the engines suffer known fails ( which to date no one to my knowledge has ever pinpointed exactly )
I was asking about temps of other track cars in case they were significantly lower , i was attempting to educate myself further by researching
The forum has enough with 1 Tomk , it doesn't need another , your sarcastic tones & veiled cryptic digs are wasted on me on me , i don't give a toss , i think you are a knob & so is your chum who thinks he can belittle & bully anyone who questions him until they either give in or simply stop posting .
Sorry i i dared to post on topic i shouldn't have , i will try to remember not to in future , or i'l PM yourself or your sidekick for permission first
