Not as good as Tripple from my experiences, but appreciate the input guys.

Genuinely thought that was a SC'd V8. Slightly surprised the V10 put up so little fight against some of the other cars. Certainly didn't look like 700bhp! And hats off to the guy etc etc, little more tuition and practise at launching and he should do very well.

Gents. After another thread below about hand polishing out swirls, and @TomSx mentioned 50 Cal. Cover Up, it got me thinking. Unfortunately after taking the Zed to BMW, it's been washed and undone all of my correction work. This happened with the Audi and Tripple coupled with C2V3 gave me...

Haven't a clue what it is, but it isn't naughty blue!

That's not Nautical Blue ;)

I think they suit the Coupe, not the Roadster. I really like the ApexArc8 wheels... a more squared off CSL...

Did wonder what the picture in Share and Shine was all about, Mike - love it mate and nice that your dad is as keen!

Believe so chap, yes. Might have to pootle down myself soon.

Since someone has a GoPro on the Zed forum, and the same engine/IC setup as me, I thought I'd post their video as I've failed at doing my own... Z4M with the Gruppe M IC;

That is true...

That could have been me, on Easter Monday?

Exchange for one Gaffel at £2.50 a bottle...?! Likewise mate, it has been years. Miss those times of Gopher, Nath et al! Those weren't too bad. They were £4 each...!

Oh and excuse the bay cleanliness. Due a clean after winter.

Ill Saturday and Sunday, recovering today so had the day off work. By about midday I was starting to feel more human so fitted the strut brace; Genuinely more for aesthetics than function. Most have reported better turn in on track with any sort of brace fitted... Something I will...

Christ, not the smartest of cookies at either location. Four phone calls with one stating the appointment needs to be with the other each time... idiots.

Of course, because they're next to KDS... perfect, cheers Scott.

Guys, any suggestions on a decent place to get this done? I'd prefer someone that is linked to a detailer, so I can get my wheels sealed at the same time. Usual thing, I don't have time or space, so would rather drop off, work, collect and pay.

@Al_G

Twice! Ease of them being around the corner, so I can carry tyres back and forth from the house. Plus I've twice realised I need them fitting that Saturday or Sunday morning before a trip. Looking for somewhere that I can store them, but have no way of transporting them!

No major updates apart from its first clean for months. The E46 strut talked about above got lost in the post, so picked up another one on the way down from the NW over the Easter weekend. Ordered the caps and the bolts to fit this/next weekend. Good old KwikFit have ballsed up the balancing of...

He's got a laptop that will show him when there is a danger to the manifold. Let's hope he doesn't have a 100shot of NOS and a heavy foot.

@Lawro try claying first mate.

Winters off. Summers on. Rolling noise difference is quite something! Shame it's chucking it down today. Driving up for a wedding in the NW over Easter so will be interesting to see the difference, having only had winter tyre experience so far.

You need caps on your strut brace pal. They're only £2 each. You need ten...

Never understood black. Blue. Good work Gallister.

It will last a while if you clean the area and prep properly, but the issue is more about attracting dust, as the gel sits on the surface of plastic, whereas it soaks into rubber.

@Liam. during gear changes? Yes if so. I've not got used to it so far tbh. Still worries me, but went into BMW for a full health check and out with their "chief tech" (probably a badge they pass around each day) who said it was a sweet as a nut. The Vanos sound also worries me, but the car...

f**k. Off. X
