Well I put on my roof racks to get some measurements for a roof rack basket, going to use that for the kids bikes.. ( as we lack a decent tow bar) .

So been slack and left them on. . was at shops and noticed on my return 1 side was unscrewed from the front one. . both bolts. .

I bit suss in my view. . or am I paranoid. . I find it hard the screws just happened to come undone like that. .

It's hard enough to get them for M35 stags as it is, would hate to lose them. .

Torx safety bolts and lots of loctite lol

dont put too much faith in torx bolts. anyone can buy a full set of torx tools from supercheap for under $20. granted it does make it harder to steal them, but if they are a pro they will come prepared.dont forget, while your in there shopping. professional car thieves are doing their shopping in the carpark!!!

you've agreed entirely with my statement. lol i think to the public eyes. a stereo is more valuable than roof racks.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
