  1. Looking at the link now, mine's lighter than i thought. happy days!!
  2. i think it's 1500k without looking at the link
  3. You'd notice the flash on a sunny day mate. They're well bright, designed to be.
  4. I heard that there was a scam on gumtree involving a BMW not long ago, it'd be selling for peanuts. People tripping over themselves in a panic go round to see it with the cash to buy it but, instead get robbed by a group of heavies. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole from a bunker.
  5. it's an N-Spec front bumper, I've got one on my zed

  7. 55 plate and done 73k. For those of you who have changed your clutches, did you do it because: a. It really was on it's way out and needed to be changed? or b. You were just worried/paranoid about it so had it done anyway? And more importantly, is it an easy job to do if you did it yourself?
  8. Totally true. I didn't mean to be down on BMW, I love engineering and they've certainly got it, just not that x factor for me. Having said that, I saw a Z4 M tear up the track at Croft last year and it was astonishing, so maybe one day... If I had to choose any BMW it would be a z4-M hardtop. for me that is a stunning car. I forgot about the z4
  9. i'll never forget how Jeremy Clarkson summed up German cars and, this rang true for me. " long on engineering and short on passion ". I just can't get a boner over a BMW. Nice cars and really nice to drive, just lack some kind of vim and vigour for me. Don't feel special driving one.
  10. Apparently if you exceed 70mph while doing it there is ........... This is true, but i'm referring to gran tourismo on the PS3
  11. If it was the E36 3.0 version they run 280 ish bhp in standard form so I'm guessing very much similar. Yeah it will be. You kept up with a more expensive car with a lot of prestige. Probably pi**ed him off a bit. So smile and be happy.
  12. No shame in keeping up or slipping behind an M3.
  13. sounds like someone may have swapped the non gt seats for gt seats if there is no cruise and sat nav.
  14. BC Coilovers may do a set for around the £600
  15. I've got a GT-Four. It weighs 1370 with a quarter tank. The 2 ltr turbo 3S-GTE is mapped to 302 hp @ the fly but being four wheel drive I get 235hp @ the wheels. It's not slow and really picks up in all gears. Now, I've had my zed for a couple of months but its only been on the road for 2 weeks and I've only really given it the full beans a week back and, being heavier @ 1500k (approx) I believe and, a possible 270 hp ( compression check was all in the late 150s ) I think the zed is just as quick as my four AND, pulls way better than my four does in 4th and 5th and 6th. It's impressive. The zed being my first v6 rear wheel drive car, and relatively modern in comparison to my turbo retro run abouts of the past, it's the best car I've driven in a long time.
  16. Sounds like a bloody angry hornet. Love it!
  17. Well, in the end, the cold hard facts are: Man in a merc followed you to your destination. He even looked up the cost of your car while doing so. He felt strongly inclined to inform you of the cost of your car. And all because he couldn't over take you when it wouldn't've made any difference. This all smacks of jealousy. Conclusion: He's a penis I was going to make a power point presentation with a graph to show how each step contributed to the growth of his penisness - if there is such a word - but, it would've required at least 2 successive posts.
  18. Well, it's the law of probability. You're bound to meet a complete f**king cretin on the road now and again. It's unavoidable. If there's any justice he'll have a bloody good crash into bloody great tree one day. As it happens I had some moron In a BMW 330 try to speed match me as I over took him last weekend. i wasn;t going to play silly buggers even though i was starting to win and let him go. He powered off into the horizon. About 20 seconds after, he only passed and unmarked silver Passat police car and got pulled. oh the joy! i could've cried.
  19. My mate had one of these years back. Bought it brand spanking new and after 3 months, the dash board had slowly lit up like a Christmas tree. Cracking little cars though.
  20. What Aliveboy said. Of course they will filter crap out to a degree but from other posts I've read on here, you're better off with a panel filter in regards to power and keeping crap out.
