I'm in the process of possibly selling the trophy for something more suited to motorway driving (e39 530i) however these keep popping into my head!?

Never thought of this as a pic location, pretty cool. Might pop down myself at some point

86k according to pics. Looks like an original exhaust.

Love the twingo rs. cracking little car

Ahh. I've still not seen u about, I'm Glasgow near u too. What's the bedding in period on them? Need to do some 100-0;)?

Nice, 4 pots then yeah? How do they perform?

Gutted I missed this! When's the next one? Great turnout

Really? Oh well u should get asking then:) whats next?

Nah its probably priced right. If it had the 3 litre engine it would be worth a few quid more.

It's on lots of bmws yes. It's one of the reasons the e60 m5 was smg only. If it was manual the clutch delay would ruin the car therefore they stuck in the smg to make sure it was more regulated (so I'm lead to believe)

As said above. Unless the dash is actually covered in dirt I'd just wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Most of the time I just Hoover mine. I need to do it maybe once every 3 months, that's how little dust I get in the car, granted it's only me in the thing most of the time

Yep, I've posted basically the same reply. Need to get my message across!

Why not spend the money that you put into air and wheels on a gti instead? Much nicer to drive and a bit of grunt too, as opposed to a 1.4 slouch

Need some of the above. Only places I can get the stuff is opieoils and ebay. Both price them at just over £50 for 5 litres. Anywhere cheaper folks?

Looks nice mate. Think I prefer the factory wheels though

I actually have, however he still might fancy spacers aswell

Tasty, can't beat turinis. Will the car be getting lowered any? Spacers?

Second hand sets are at most £600

Where can u get Sachs for that money? They're usually that per item

I'd get a z4m aswell but then I'm a bmw fan boy. Don't rule out a boxster, they are great

Ahh, my dads is a 986

I'll let u know when my dad is selling his boxster. It's a 2 owner, 55k 04 plate in grey. Really nice car. He also bought it from a work colleague so there's lots of history to go with it

Thanks chip, helpful as always. I'll just get the lot done then I'll be happy.

Yeah that's true chip. Im just a bit paranoid and like to have things done myself. Don't trust previous owners even with proof of it being done! Aux belt is noisy on a cold start up on cold mornings. Lasts around 30 seconds then goes away.

February 2012 mate

I'm a bit of a paranoid android so I'm planning on doing the belts at some point in the next 10k miles. It's on 60K at the moment and was done on 39k. I have a place in Glasgow that knows the f4r and has a great rep. He will do the job perfectly but he's not cheap. Anyone know anywhere up here...

Very true. I never add that on to the cost! Although in saying that I've heard good reports on running costs of the st. 40mpg and low insurance and tax bracket..

Ah, I'd have gone with a ST to be honest. Seems very expensive to me for a 3 pot turbo!

why so expensive? Is it got a top spec or something?

What about a smoothed front bumper where the reg plate sits then leave it plate less on the front? If u take off the front plate you'll see what I mean. Apart from that I wouldn't bother with anything exterior wise apart from a different set of wheels and maybe a drop. Apart from that it looks...
