Smoking brakes mean u need to upgrade the pads for tms, it could but not necessarily mean ur going v fast round those bends

Haha yah I did sort of eventually get bored.

Ohh I see. You guys don't go to the Official BMW Service Centres? In India, I purchased the 5-year BSI+R plan (the extended warranty which covers most parts).

I have some questions regarding buying a few parts from HK. I will gather all my queries together and then ask you.

I was wondering the 65% faster thing.
E60 can't be as fast as a Civic (or other lightweight performance car) in TMS as it's almost 500KG heavier.

I would say the delta integrale will be no match for the e90 m3. The king of tms has got to be the Honda civic though
I do nice speed at corners during the BMW driver's training. Simply I know I won't crash into other cars even I make mistakes.
I do against any comment saying that they are super fast in public road/bends. That's totally irresponsible.
