Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

haha, ill swallow my pride and buy you a beer if youre right :P

Haha, done deal......and if I'm wrong I'll buy!

The pics of the bunch are probably the 6.5 and the 8MR. The 5 RS is very highly regarded too, but because the RS models didn't have airbags, they can't be complied...

Here's my new daily driver (apologies for the hijack...)

didn't want to hijack the other thread so I moved it here......tell me more about that silver one Kristian.....right colour, right everything by the looks....which model is it? (not too familiar with the EVO's).

What sort of money would I be looking at for a 6.5 Tommy or an 8MR (whatever the MR is) to land here.......prefer low Km's and immaculate?

PM if you can't reveal too much here.

Is the silver one above everything that you expected it to be, ie, handling, power, interior styling/comfort etc......remember that I'm coming from a 34 V-Spec so I can't help comparing somewhat, although I'll try and be realistic.

NEWS FLASH

It's official.

For many many years, right back to when aeroplane jelly and vegemite were home grown, Cadburys has been king, but alas, no longer.

The newly crowned king of chocolate is:

Coles Belgium chocolate.......by a country mile.....and much cheaper!!

sits back and watches everyone log off to head to Coles

      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.
