Dave could you check from bmwfans.info to see if your engine is N52 or N53 model type? By checking through VIN
no you can not find out on the website
I had to ask my sale to check for me.
this site is much better than realOEM
much more user friendly

Hi Guys,

Had so much fun in Zhuhai ... thanks KC for dropping by!

It was fun beating cars like gallado, F430 and 360... so cool...

I am still editing the pictures I took from the 2 days and have uploaded to my web album, check it out when you have time... here is one:



Link To My Picasa

KC...my lap time improved significantly the 2nd day, and I actually ended up 2nd best time in the super car div. got a thropy, which is pretty cool.....and mostly importantly, I beat the time set by that black GTR R35 which rumor with 600hp and equipped with R tires...

More pictures uploading ... check out the album!

Cheers,
Mike
Pics looks great and sounds you had a good time!!
You have proved again skills is far important than the car

The black R35 driver must be sucks, his R tyres should beat you time with ease but he didnt

excellet! definitely v smooth driving from looking at the vid, except 1 corner after the long straight that you went in a little too fast i think. that black gtr sounds the biz and it once again proves that its the skill that matters

pingy later told me that the atom was actually available for hire, really kicking myself now.
Pingy could you check that Atom, i am in aswell

just came back from the cayenne test drive.

tiff needell was right, it understeers much more than the x5 but I felt the steering was sharper and initial turn in is more accurate. overall though, I think the x5 is much better.
