BMW E46 M3, Hartside, Alston by TomScottPhoto, on Flickr Both are great looking cars :thumbsup: . Would love to have a go in one. I frequently see a rather unloved looking Carbon Black example parked on a narrowish, busy main road into town. Often tempted to ask the owner if he'd sell it...

Hello Exdos, I don't think you'll have any problems. I've had 265/40 18 Michelin PSS on the back of mine for the past couple of years and recently fitted KW v3 suspension. I've had no rubbing problems either before or after fitting the suspension and am not using spacers on the rear. The car...

Inspired by the collected works of Exdos and Beedub :thumbsup: , I decided to do my first bit of DIY on the car. I started with a mid-service interval oil change. It's been a year and around 6,000 miles since the last change, but the state of the gloop that came out of the sump suggested...

.... does anyone know whether this will fit in the Z4 instead? 5OS_k0V8Bvw :)

Ok, in the words of the old cliche, if I had one pound for every pixel in this video, I'd have one pound. But the sound is great and the impression of speed is amazing - Dear God indeed. kyWEOEA1NMs&feature=related

Well, after a great deal of deliberation, I took the plunge and had four of these fitted yesterday. I've only driven about 25 miles on them so far, which has been made up of a short trip home through traffic after fitting, followed by a fairly restrained 20 or so miles after I'd washed all...

As mentioned in a previous thread, I'm keen to get a pair of these in standard fit size for the back of the M. The reviews seem very good and the price looks like being usefully cheaper than my dream-on option of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Just contacted Goodyear, who confirmed they'll be...

My rears are now nearly done for, so I've been looking for new tyres. I want to try something different from the OEMs, so will replace the fronts as well because I prefer to have the same make / model on all wheels. It's turning into a frustrating hunt because it seems very few tyres are...

Pretty soon my OEM rear tyres will be done for. I've always preferred to have the same type of tyre on all four wheels, so I'm trying to decide whether to replace the rears only with more OEMs so that they still match the fronts (these still look good for several thousand miles), or change all...

Just a quick :thumbsup: for this dealer, who carried out an oil service for me the other day. When booking the service I asked if I could supply my own oil to bring the price down. They said they'd be happy to price-match the cost of the oil (Castrol TWS motorsport 10W-60) which saved me...

That's a really handy write-up PawnSacrifice, and I love your and Wondermike's photos. :thumbsup: I had a very rough and ready attempt at doing this using Paint Shop on a photo I took at the recent NE meet. I didn't use as many layers as you (to be honest I was quite lazy and only used two)...

Thought I'd try a bit of paintshopping on a few photos I took on Sunday :)

A coupe I hear you say! Here's a slightly fuzzy photo of mine with standard wheels: Loads more roadster owners (both generally and on this forum) than coupe owners - probably. Had my first go in one yesterday (thanks Spud :thumbsup: ). It was a really nice drive, and having spent a day...

Yep, really enjoyed the day - many thanks to Robb and Lexx for organising it all and doing their best to keep those of us that got lost in check. It was good to meet you all and have a go in Spud's car. Here are some random photos :) Couldn't resist a sneaky shot of this stunning Vauxhall...

Hello, I was thinking of having the CDV either removed or modified when I get the brake fluid changed in a week or so. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good independent BMW specialist in Cumbria, NE England or the south of Scotland. Sort of job I'd like to do myself really. But I don't...
