So yesterday i got everything in place for my XHP Flashtool ...
Took 40 mins to back up the car, 15 mins to upload the editing software, then 5 for the actual flash. In reality, as i dont have a battery pack/trickle charger, i had to drive around in the snow/slush between each step to get the...
I always have issues with his rims tbh, the front offsets are always slightly wrong, i.e. wider to give the look of spacerz, which annoy me.
That & fitting M359/CSL wheels to a 330d just makes me shudder lol.
SME Asset Finance (predominantly software/IT), so still feeling the pinch really as...
Irrespective of mine or others love for the wood, this car is still being awesome :up:
Back home to Cornwall & back last week at 42 mpg, around town has dropped to 34 or so, but i still fill it up so rarely compared to the RS3/M3 i dont really care 😂
Am getting itchy feet though...
Apparently its an incredibly thin veneer of wood thats stuck onto plastic trim & lacquered ...
Did you rip out the 2 cylinders that appear to be missing from your engine bay as well?
:kissingheart:
Christ no. That wrapped carbon sh1t is even worse than my plastic wood lol.
I just didnt like...

I bought this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAINTED-COLOR-E92-BMW-2DR-COUPE-M3-LOOK-TRUNK-REAR-SPOILER-300-WHITE-335i-/371859375724
Got stung for import duty, so it was £75 all in. Took far less time than SSDD, who probably order it from the same place 😂
Buy it anyway, it looks awesome in white!!
5 series are great cars (F10 onwards anyways), but they are simply huuuuuuge.
And i feel like a 45 year old with 2 kids when driving one. The 6GC however ...
The e92's seem to have a massive fuel tank as well (certainly compared to my M135i & RS3), so i'm sure that helps to give the better range as well. Mines averaged mid 30's around town (40's on longer runs), whereas the RS3 was doing high teens/twenties in the same usage giving about 230-260...
Aaaaaand its gone.

Sarah & i were a little sad to be honest, had some great times in it in the past 3.5 years and it had been in the family for over 10!
Luckily the new owner is a proper petrol head & will carry on to use it for what it was built for, track...
