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 feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
