They only make a handful of decent looking ones if it's for the 5 series u need big wheels to look any good anyway which there is less of. Just leave it as is

true, saw one on 22s... LOL

Gonna put it out there

All BMW wheels look the same to me

agreed.

also BMW people are a very strange breed. very very strange.

they seem to be incapable of acknowledging other makes lol.

With GM retiring all the reps wanna rock black wheels on their company cars now - he had/has a ban in place because he despises black wheels that much. When he ordered his S5 he paid extra to have the base model A5's smaller / non black wheels put on it lol

see, what did i tell ya.

just get some rotas and put ebay BMW centrecaps on. no one will know and you'll get heaps of BMW owners approaching you asking where you got em.

oh alex, get this.
had a little problem on friday, but was under pressure, and had to head over to the storage warehouse to measure something up.
anyway, young bloke we had hired had gotten a bit comfortable.
sends me a msg saying "youre a shit talkerwhatre u going over there for"
i reply "excuse me?"
to which he continues being a smart arse.


did this flamin mongrel really say that to his boss?
put him in his place when i got back to the shop...
not sure if i should warn him or forget about it.

I've always wanted push button indicators on the steering wheel where they usually put the remote volume controls - anyone know if this has been done in a car that isn't a million dollar supercar?

Really liked that about the 34 auto; placement of the tiptronic buttons

Well without context it's hard to say I'm going to assume that you talk like that to each other regularly so although he is out of place it's tricky to tell him off as you've created that environment.

Flip side it's a strictly professional environment and dialogue in which case official warning and move on hope he learns a lesson.

Kids these days...

Dude it's not a 33...

So I'm down to 428 or 435 struggling to separate the two aside from price difference as the 428 by all reports is just as good and only .6 sec slower to the 100kms but 4 cylinder feels ghey.

Or should I just accept that's the way of the world now turbo whipper snipper motors?

Side note would prefer the Lexus but nobody seems to be buyin em so I'll dodge a future sc430 scenario

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
