As fast as ...............???

Corners as well as .....???

Nah- jokes aside, a fellow SAUer purchased an R32 VW to replace his R34 GT-T and he's been thoroughly happy with it.

Only German car I've ever had was a 328Ci and your R36 will run rings around that!

ENJOY!

Hi, we got the wagon, as it is for my wife and the kids.

Went out to buy an F6 but the boot space was too small for the pram.

Also looked at the New shape Stagea Autech Axis, but they are rare and show a bit of age.

We also test drove Liberty GT spec B, Audi S3 hatch, A4 3.2 Q, 530ci, pretty much all station wagon that we could find, but the R36 came out on top.

I was really impressed with the power, handling, but most of all the gearbox!! with the launch control on the sedan i drove got around 5.1-5.2sec 0-100

very happy and cant wait til monday.

Does anyone know what they r capable of over the 1/4?

Hi John,

Nup it's Simon - he uses the R32 for track as well.

Well you still like your BMs.

A real driver's car.

1 more sleep guys, cant wait!

yep DSG double clutch box. they have F1 shift, the shift time is instant.

I guess this is like the R35 GTR box, thats why they are so fast without huge power output.

SIR RB- they run a 3.6ltr V6 direct inj. makes 220KW claimed 0-100 in 5.6, but its more like 5 flat

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
