I forgot to have a look, especially at the rear install. Remind me next time :thumbsup:
I’ve got footage of both days with speed and GeForce graph, although there isn’t much of you only a dot in the distance :rofl: :rofl:

On a serious note though the dash cam is fine for close ups but I think a go pro would be better for replaying sections of a drive
That’s why I was only car no 2 for a short while before Julie gave me into trouble :rofl:

I’ve been looking at go pro’s for a while and have been toying which one to get for a while. On that serious note what has thrown this slightly was after yesterday specifically where I’d envisaged siting the go pro was completely blocked dirt/dust/salt etc. there would’ve be almost no image visible through that part of the windscreen.

Just before I sold the 35iS I managed to get a new genuine BMW towing eye go pro mount but I don’t know if it’s the same thread as the G29. It’s not the same as the E85/6. I’ll need to look it out and see

    G29 M40i Thundernight with Ivory interior, all option packs (here for a while, hopefully :oops:)
    G29 M40i Misano Blue all option packs (Gone 26k of fun)
    E89 35iS, Valencia Orange, Design Pure Traction pack (Gone)
    E89 23i sDrive, Silver (Gone)
