Heel and Toe. Swear by it. Find it slightly overkill to do it driving to the shops at 30mph mind you.....and those that claim they trail brake into the work car park....pfffft. What ev's!

Maximum chav attained! And maximum tart....rev matching for the camera.;)

They look remarkably like my old Turinis. Did you get them painted yourself or buy them from a bloke with a supercharged broken Cup?

You have to consider the fact that the 182 is tinny, noisier, less refined and lighter. All those things add up to give the illusion that you are going a great deal quicker than you actually are. The 200 is no slouch but it doesn't have the same amount of drama doing what its doing. Sir_Dave...

I don't care how much you try.....Im not getting one....at least not a 3 series anyway. Bloody sheep.....;) 5 series it is then.....

The red 'Italian' looking very sorry for itself is actually an S2 Esprit. Burnt out. A needless victim of an arsonist who decided to torch his own Elise whilst it was parked next to it one night.....to try and get more money out of the insurance company.

That IS helpful. Thanks chief!

Looks tidy! Question. Did it have a standard headunit in it before you swapped it? If so, how did you get the bugger out?! Mine literally froze over the weekend so I need to get it out but its one of those flush with the rest of the fascia jobbies and im stumped!

Did someone bin an Impreza on the way to this? Only I have been emailed pictures of one from a guy wanting an estimate to repair it and then saw something on the PH forum about one ending up in a ditch.

For christs sake Mike....if you are going to insist on making a habit of that then at least swallow the key! Or post them through your mates letterbox. If the fuzz stumble upon you then they will royally roger you with the long arm of the law. Or with their truncheon.

Apologies. It was obviously a poor attempt at impersonating a fully fledged troll. I thought my sarcastic 'tone' was spot on as well......:dapprove:

Combined? 8! Hows the MPG whilst its sat on the driveway boyo? Drinking habit like Oliver Reed but not enough sheckles to actually feed it IIRC? ;) Nevermind....the Goat to the rescue.

What Jimbo has already said is pretty much bang on. All I'd say is don't bother with 5.1 fluid. Its hideously expensive stuff and 4.1 will actually last longer. If it is strictly staying as a daily with the occasional track use then there really isn't any point shelling out for a coilover kit...

FLOL! I must say, after we cleaned and fitted the new wheels to Dave's M3 on Saturday, it looked fapping gorgeous. It now means that if I was to become all wooly and say 'baaa' then i'd only want an E46 M3. Everything else is just old and poor....;)

Pffffft. Don't know why he insisted on fitting snow tyres. Huge waste of money. Doesn't he know that driving to the conditions would get him everywhere??

This. TBH even if it was a different weekend to Le Mans I doubt i'd go. The one plus it being at Donny is that the track is awesome.

Its so hanging its laughable but strangely it makes it quite endearing. Im actually wondering whether a clean will make it look any less rough.....;)

'Drive to the conditions'.This saying in particular makes me chortle as its used widely on here. It is of course common sense to drive more sensibly when the conditions are a bit grim but how does one 'drive to the conditions' when the equipment being used isn't fit for the conditions? Is...

Have had the Klebers on the 306 for a couple of days now and although we've only had one pathetic flurry of wet sleet, in the wet the front feel much more happy with life. Immediately you feel how much softer and compliant these tyres are (im cheap, I only put on fronts....the rear can do what...

Just be aware that winter tyres are at their very best when the tread is full I.e new. Part worn ones with 3-4 mm of tread left are actually pretty ineffective as the sintered sections of the tread blocks are nearly completely worn down. Just something to bear in mind.

I hav to say that ive gained more bruises from this week than any of the others put together.....and nearly all are from that club footed oaf Grant. Thats without counting the ball to face from Capes as well. FFS.

My there is some seriously weird BMW lingo in this thread. WTF is a 'Depo'? And why is the forum called M3 Cutters? Is it short for M3 Cutter Uppers? :S

Just bung some 15 inch steels on. Simple....unless you prefer style over substance of course. ;)

Just bought myself a pair of these. Kleber Quadraxers at £45 each in 195/50/15 fitment. Need to tweak the tracking on the 306 before I fit them but im interested to see how they get on. I ran super skinny 155/70/13 Hankook Icebears on the 106 and that went EVERYWHERE in the snow. Tyre width...

Saw another BG 182 in there Sunday just gone.....bloody place is crawling with them.

Nope....it wasn't Nick either! And I'm definitely NOT helping collect this one..

Lol. I know who bought it....and no it wasn't me, Sir_Dave or Budgie ;-)

It's quite baffling how people on here actually overlook the considerable advantages of winter tyres, dismiss them and claim all you have to do is 'take more care' and 'drive to the conditions' on summer tyres. That's perfectly doable but its rather re assuring knowing you have on tyres that...

That pretty sums up every thread on this forum Alan. Yet everyone still wants to try and prove they are 'right'. Its what makes this place revolve.....and provide hours of entertainment.

So that'll get her up a snowy hill on summer tyres will it?
