It feels a bit more solid, bit more planted on the road than the 33. It's very snappy on the throttle too. It turns heads more often tha the R33 in my opinion. Overall its a refined car and is a great daily for me.

Mods wise, it's just got a rear muffler. coil overs, and bigger/wider wheels.

It's done 85 000 genuine km's and the interior is absolutely immaculate.

It's just amazing to drive and I cant wait to start doing modifications. I'd love to take it to Test N Tunes and just get it out for cuirses and shit.

It has slight hail damage on the bonnet but im not bothered as I can do that myself.

what did it run? how many kws etc?

Well on that run the car was on a basic street tune and did a 14.44 at 98mph. Went to the dyno last saturday and on the first pull it made 175rwkw, so I ran that time with this much power.

Finally the car made 302rwkw at 18 psi dropping to 17 psi. Gonna go to the drags this saturday to test it again and see how it goes and this time on ET street radials.

Will do sir! I'm hoping for a low 12 to high 11. But because this is a street legal event the strip won't have traction compound so I'm hoping for the best.

Good luck with your car too, sir. 350 kw should get you some impressive times!

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
