My Ride: carbonized MB coupe
they take the schoolbus, mostly it might be 3 in the car
and that works for me, the seat moves forward electrically
now i've got to get the pipe and tobacco out innit?
i think i won't mod it
i'm looking at a project car, a used one Z4 2.5 or 3L,
the 3L can be quite hairy!!! nothing beats a beemer for driving enjoyment

Very nice!
I bet it must be fun to put GTR on the track.
Are they allow you to takeover other cars? Some car club might retrict takeover for the safety reason

spoke with other big boys with big toy, some just there to have a relax fun day and not there to race. some super cars were actually causing traffic jams. on the other hand, a m3 and a lambo went off onto the gravel, not v nice to the wheels and brakes. there are also some race prepared cars w roll cage and everything. overall, its a pretty good mix but this is also pretty scary with drivers of different levels on the track.

Hey guys - was just wondering if any of you have upgraded your sound system in your cars? I was just down at my friends garage in North Point and looking to upgrade speakers etc... and he says that there is very few options for the 5 series.
Need to use factory headunit, speakers are very small sizes (4") and hard to install an ipod connection into the dash / glovebox....
Any of you guys had any experience in upgrading? I am looking to put the car in this sunday and would appreciate some comments/feedback.

dynaudio speakers are v good but known to be hard to drive. I have an mod idea for you: have you heard of nuforce icon amps, they run of 12v power and have v high damping factor so could be your power amp to drive the dynaudio speakers.

I am not sure whether Dynaudio have speakers to fit the E60 - I have been quoted on a brand called Morel, which seem to be pretty good! I am not too familiar with the brands for car a/v.
What my friend has quoted me is for a 4 speakers all round, 2 JL 12" subs in the boot and a couple of amps to drive teh speakers and sub.

For the speakers, the popular choice in here would be BSW, they custom made speakers for most BMW cars, and its just plug and play.
