just to let you guys know next time you jack up the car get ak to rustproof the exhausts, it will rust.
my has started rusting just after 8 months, I will paint my next week.
The exhausts is cheap SS

there Alan, your panadol is opened.
i guessed the rubber was a factor.
get it fixed and start burning rubber, now you need the Sprintbooster and
carbon bits imagine in 5minutes you could have fitted the SB and enjoying the dragster
response, even the E500 will be scared of you.

TMS - i have to say the MB went up quite f fast, BUT had to brake entering bends, whilst with
the BMW it is a natural entry without braking.

pinguhk

that not true.
They are bend the same posistion but the Arqray is alot less steeper angle than the OEM that why my needed to have the U channel.


Arqray

although my mate is the BB of Motor Image, (KC we bumped into him behind Subaru last time we tested the 325 with Nlsn) the current range of cars are pig ugly, the Impreza??? wtf it looks like an old Nissan Sunny hatchback
the performance of the forester is down, and well the image is down.
Needless to say the sales went down like a sack of sand, and they are NOT cheap.

pinguhk

compare to your old e60 it is not as good on the corners?
any more review?

kcleung

In ur case, shouldnt it be covered by the warrantty?

billhk

you're the strut bar expert, help out Alan before he
faints

billhk

it should be aluminized steel, not stainless!!!
should be oxidation spots and not rust! means the nickel content was not so strong.


E60 v E coupe?

Simply put:

STRAIGHT LINE
my E coupe with the mods (270bhp) is faster in a straight line V unmodified 523,525 and 530i, and more robust as same weight but smaller car,better ride.
the drag is like 0.24 v 0.3+? so very quiet.
against modified eg.SB and wider tyres, only from 50kmh+, then the BMW has a better traction and launch


E60 is better fun, telepathic into and out of bends, a very natural mover,
mine cannot beat a E60 modified 523i/525i/530i with shocks and springs and bars
and SB, you could say 10 car lengths behind

but will beat unmod E60 due to the cars low centre of gravity (the roofline is already 12cm lower)
in Sai Kung, but not on TMS, it needs braking into bends which uses up energy.

versus 16inch doughnut wheeled modified E60- easy win, like stamping an ant

there Newbies - you all need the mods!!!!

just from the experience of a passenger, I felt the chasis was stiffer than the pre-lci e60 in stock form. no experience on stock lci, so cant compare.
