Oh yes.

Now that is how you write a brake review. Excellent job mate, really enjoyed that.

GRAMMAPOCALYPSE

Ah but dear sir, you've missed the real genius: They deliberately give you bits that are silly or ugly so that you're forced to raid the options list to get something that's actually practical/decent looking Porsche do a fantastic job of the same on the Macan with that side grey strip, looks so much better in body colour but of course that's £££ please sir...

I think I ended up with quadrillions killed in the end, mostly by drift. Don't sweat it, just adjust the points so that they're quicker and more powerful in combat before you send them out again. Also prioritise replication, so you don't have to do it yourself.

Shame it's FWD. It's actually okay otherwise. And it's you're, not your. So you're wrong

Tokyo motor show is on this week too btw, not a Z in sight

Good man! If you need any help drafting a legalese letter, give me a shout and I’m happy to offer assistance

Envy Filler Killer is the best wipe down product I’ve ever used for doing what IPA does, but better. Smells nicer too!

Build up your fleet first, so that they don’t die from hazards then when the combat starts put some points into that. I think you need yuomi for that? Don’t worry about not exploring stuff, it does happen but takes ages and soooooo many drones.

Still can't make them not sound like a bag of nails though. I don't get the love for them, I really don't. Best value performance car is obviously a bit hard to define, but no way does an M4 even come close. At that price range 981 yes, M240i yes, hell even a current Mustang yes, but definitely not an F80/2.

Hopefully not in that order

PCP works if you only intend to keep the car a few years and not keep it long term, else it's a killer. Well, unless the dealer gets their sums horribly wrong, which they tend not to do these days. Doc's offer he mentions is a bloody good one on face value.

It's more the general layout, none of that really changes at all so it does look like a 118d Not that a 118d is a bad car, but you know what I mean. Not sure on the various modes, I think you just get eco and sport which change the throttle mapping, neither here nor there really. I'd be very careful about over-speccing a 240, easy to get carried away and then you'll get slaughtered on resale as too many extras won't make any difference.

Welcome along With regards to mods: Not all bucket seats fit, make sure you try before you buy in terms of comfort, and brackets may need to be custom jobs Harness bars are def available Harnesses likewise JWT Popcharger would be my choice as it's cost effective and whatever you do with a cone filter you'll lose power, worth it for the noise though Don't get anything from Crapspeed, buy some decent Berk ones Y-pipes don't usually have silencers on, do they? So no need to go custom Steering wheel easy to do Springs are easy Tyres go for MPS4 on 18" (and well done for function > form), Rays are fine and cheap and light as you'll get before ££££ You'll def want spacers for the Rays

M3/4 is one of the most disappointing cars I've ever driven. I spent a day with an F80 M3 and then 20 mins with an M235i when I took the M3 back to the dealership and told them it was rubbish, so they gave me the smaller car to see if they could get a sale that way. It was the sport auto option too, so as close to comparable to the DCT M3 as you can get. I reckon the slushbox was nigh-on as good as the DCT, and certainly not noticeably worse at all. Chassis felt much more alive and the suspension didn't want to kill me every time I stepped on the gas which was a bonus. The 235 was proper chuckable, just a really fun car. In the end it wasn't for me as the inside was just too 118d to feel truly special, but now I've lived with an older BMW interior for a bit I reckon I'd have no issues with it. In terms of the drive though, I can remember those 20 minutes as well as I can any drive I ever took in the 350. I'd still get a manual over an auto though, unless you sit in traffic day in day out. BMW make some really decent manuals, get them while you can.

FFS write them a proper letter, and get them to state their reasons WHY they believe it's a paint defect and not corrosion. Make it clear that you require their response as it will form part of your legal defense. Then you go and get a report from the body shop (the one they use if possible) and see what they say, and then you take an educated call on whether to progress it legally. Why would you give up so easily??

Ignore the figures, you'll never get anywhere near that mpg and 0-60 is a useless stat. What they are is utterly brilliant, and far far far better than an M4. Far better. One of the most fun cars I've ever driven in OEM road guise, they're a superb car.

Tbh using it as a brake or rear light is utterly pointless. As a fog it's cool as the location is very race car rain light, but otherwise nah.

You can't be, as we call ourselves Trekkers

Fog light is the same output as a brake light, in 99% of cases.

It becomes non-cost effective when the car is worth more in parts than it is when it's running, or it'll cost you more to fix it than to buy an equivalent car. I reckon you're a long way from that if it's just a new clutch & fly you need. And no, no-one has any idea where Nissan are going after the 370. Current guesses are to a sporty SUV (random media reports), dropping a 400bhp+ V6TT into the car (wishful thinking), or letting it die completely and not replacing it (my own best guess).

Totes worth it though. And the best bit is there's multiple endings, so you get to do it all over again too!

I was looking at the 2017 payments ( https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/129388/formula-1-team-payments-for-2017-revealed ) and basically if the money was divided equally then even the lowest team would be getting $94M which is $45M more than they got this year. Ferrari got more than Mercedes despite finishing third in the championship!
