£8.5k Schnitzer Wheels

Even though I watch the odd one, I just don't get the fascination with him. As you say, he just doesn't sound engaging at all... and I hate the whole Berry/TRL/Motech scene thing that they all got going on. Most of it is content for contents sake (that's Youtube money for you) with very little... content.Chris_D said:
When I went to order my G29, I was told I should check out his videos. I think my face must have given away that it was the wrong thing to say to me.
I mean, if you can sit through this kind of drivel - https://youtu.be/twWcZGW3lSU?t=388 (6m 28) - you are a better man than me.

Nah, not the cost (but wouldn’t pay that even if I did like them) just don’t particularly like the look of them. I also can’t off the top of my head think of any ACS wheels I like.
I’d have the ones on SARS car any day over the, but possibly in a different colour to suit my car better, the bronze goes really well with the red, not so sure about with the blue

I will retract that statement then Dan as I do like your wheels, and have told you that in person
Are you sure they’re ACS………….
Yeah, they're type 8s. Originally they were diamond cut as shown in the pic on the Mrs' old Zed. I got em cheap because they were in need of a serious refurb, which I had done.Argyll Andy said:idej_z4 said:Mine are ACS.Argyll Andy said:

The problem with any diamond cut alloys is once you've had them refurbished (as the process involves taking a layer off the top) they can go again unless you pay top dollar for the refurb. I kept them for my roadster when we sold that car and had them powder coated to what you saw last time we met.

I made it through the whole video and paid particular attention to the 'negatives' section. He complains about bump steer, which also affects the Supra apparently. It only appears under maximum load and was more evident in the test car due to increased BHP. He openly admits 90%+ of Z4 owners will never experience it.
Well, I'm happy to remain in the 90% camp
and if that's the only fault he could find with the car, then I can only concur

Personally, I think it's the active rear diff doing its job. The control logic is calibrated so that it's very keen to lock up the rear diff. Under heavy load (diff is locked) with uneven grip between left and right, the one with less grip will transfer the energy to the one with more grip by slip the tyre in a pulse maner as the diff is locked, which leads to the sudden yaw to the car. Although I'm not sure whether JA is referring to this but I experienced this when drove the car on track. Also, I remember someone asked me whether I can feel the active rear diff when it's working and I said yes. This is exactly how it feels.
