going to Newcastle in a Porker 928S4 modified, the sierra couldn't catch up, then the Rangie and then
the Jag got lost, they only got him in a careful raodblock, funnything is he got left off!
have been lucky in my boss's 755 on the autobahn at 185mph, the bleedin thing has seat massage and e suspension etc,.
and recently in his Maser Cambiocorsa at 160 and it was raining, those German guys really have guts, can't wait to get in his new Maser GT.

ride is ok, a bit more responsive than the 122 alloys with rft i had before, will get a better photo as the angle was bad

for my model. ACS ok, but the front lower lip looks a bit tame/odd, the rear is good though.
whenever i flip thru Per BMW or Total BMW it's really tempting to get it done up,
maybe a M front bumper, any for sale used?
i saw a e60 today in Central, it was silver but the rear lower diffuser, M or unidentified? was in black and it had black quad pipes, it looked cool,
it was rocketing along so couldn't see the wheels.
Have seen a black E60 around CWB and Central, everything black,grille, tints etc,. and had some evil matt black Ac IV 19/20 inches, now that looked like a German equiv of a badass Skyline.
hey what is yr dream car??

Hamman is the best looking, esp with front paddles/splitters, but can't justify the cost

my colleages are in Germany and they regularly speed, one has just got the new 3series Coupe 335i twin diesel turbo, that is fast=545i petrol! one has a A6, it fell apart after a trip thru Switz and Italy, engine blew up, handles fell off, etc,. a complete lemon, so much for the quality of Audis.

Cos the Runflat had hard tyre shell and it will ruin the ride quality.....

How does the sebring compare, droney or screaming?any power increases?
Has anyone lowered using eibach springs?
Has anyone lowered using eibach springs?
And sometime feels too loud at low rpm especially when you wanna a complete quiet cabin..(As all 5-series should be)
But it did sounds nice i have to say........
Thinking of getting the H&R sport spring......but after fitting the M-sport kit recently.....just too scare the street hump and the car park bump will scratch my front bumper.......even my one hasn't got sport suspensions.
Btw...i live not too far from you guys.....i live in guildford in Surrey.
