Gruppe-M (£550+P&P) - NO OFFERS

The shell bearings are only worth doing once you get into the 90-100k point.

Not everyone will be there and for many these cars are 2-5k per year cars so enhancing that experience for £600 is pretty good value IMO.

Some people have found significant bearing shell wear at 50k miles and others have failed at far less than 90-100k. I swapped mine at 50k and they were fine but I’ll swap them again at 100k miles. The financial consequences of spinning a shell far outweigh the cost of changing them.

As for an induction kit, it’s well worth the money - it was one of the first modifications I made to my Zed.

Ye but your car is used a lot harder than the majority of cars. Most are just weekenders.

Did you do the work yourself?

The shells were changed by CPC in Amersham, the CAI I fitted

What does it sound like?

2 weeks into ///M & " i will be keeping the car totally stock " is looking iffy adding a Gruppe should be the first thing any M owner does imo :wink: think S54 pulling hard in 2nd - 3rd & 4th , , you like it now :evil: then imagine the noise intensified & multiplied
it turns a already angry engine into demented

Hahahaha

I’m tempted but think I’ll hold out for a CSL Carbon airbox
