CS Reading BMW Meet

[Sir_Dave]

Well not really, but after fitting my splitter/Pep going to the gym to get massive, we decided to catch up and talk BMW. I took some photos, but as im pretty lame with a camera i shall only force you to look at 2 of them

After taking him for a quick blast, its safe to say that Pep has some Dave (F.) induction bwwwwwwaaaaarrrrrrrrppppppp jealousy ....

PS. Clean cars are sooooo last year.

[Dangerous_dave]

[Sir_Dave]

Nice, worth getting after a Clio then?

For the 3 grand sat in my bank account - yes.
For the one track day i do a year at the 'ring - no.

So power and luxury but no fun?

Was considering an E30 tourer next and giving the engine a boost...

Blue one lower? Or is it the pics?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Nah, it is fun, wouldnt have bought it if it wasnt!

But you need to remember its a bit old car, grab it by the scruff of the neck, hustle it a bit and will travel ground very quickly indeed ... in the dry lol. In the wet, roundabouts are fun

Its totally different to the cup, RWD is great for the way it pushes you out of a corner, you can really feel it driving out of corners, with a little drift if your really pushing on - FWD is quicker to just get in & thrash, this definately takes more skill to master.

Tbh, for what i sold my 1 cup for, i could have this & a dedicated vts track car, now that would be the best of both worlds :evil:

Blue one lower? Or is it the pics?

Probably cr4p pics, although its been half the way to the moon, so the Billies are probably more sagged & knackered than Peps 'low mileage' one, lowering it slightly more lol

Whats a Dave F pics? What are the 328's like?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Dave F. (excuse the engine bay, im no cleaning geek lol)

328s are good, awesome value for money these days.

 

[Bluebeard]

I ran mine with the headlight out.

In the dry roundabouts can be fun too eh

Great pics Dave, was a good little meet up. The noise of the Dave f is something else.

My car will have one fitted soon!

To compare it to a clio, a different experience. The straight six sounds lush, and with seating position and the way the car handles, far more of an occasion to drive than a clio.

You do have to grab it by the scruff of the neck to get the best of it as its a big beast in comparison, but the handling is spot on, it has ridiculous amounts of grip, and is a very quick car cross country. A hell of a lot of motor for what we paid for them.
