These comparos are hilarious the GT-R is going to kill pretty much anything.

Id like to see a more evenly matched comparo with say an aventador or even 458Italia,

Mclaren mp4c these cars are more evenly matched against the gtr even if they cost 3x as much :)

M5,M3,c63,rs5 don't even come close when comparing performance.

I was surprised to read the c63 and TT RS are pretty close to the R35 in the 80-120 comparison, but behind

in pretty much everything else.

v8 engine sounds through the speakers because they cant make the engine/exhaust sound like its supposed to = the M legacy is well and truely over

.....and people ask me why i refuse to accept low ball offers on my parked up E46 M3 individual convert

Oh, how can you have a convertible M car yet think the legacy is over because of some artificial sound enhancement?

Everyone was complaining when the I6 went away, everyone will complain when the S65 V8 goes away too but so far it seems BMW M are on track.

The styling on the new M6 is fantastic.

X5/6M is another matter of course!

Great video and sensible conclusion! I'm a huge Harris fan, probably my favorite of his would be his 458 v Gt3RS vid...Beautifully done.

the S54 sounds better topless

M cars are all about the engine.... the chassis are no different to the base model

The S54 was my favourite sounding of all M engines...the raspiness in the upper RPM range, thanks to ITBs, gave it a race ready sound that all inline sixes should have. Wouldn't consider the M legacy to be over though...just the times they are a changin'.

SMG or manual? I have good memories of being thrown around in my seat by the harshest SMG setting, which felt like it was going to snap the tailshaft, accompanied by said rasp.

mine's a mid 2005 smg so one of the last built - paint and interior are from the individual program

yeh the smg is harsh in the fastest settings, with stability off you get a 6th even faster tail shaft snapping setting - and because of that ive never dared to use the LC (in my own car :cool: ). If you leave it in the 3rd or 4th setting and just ease of the accelerator mid-shift it is very smooth. Also shift quality is dependant on maintenance. I have friends who buy wholesale'd cheap M3's with 100K+ km on original clutch and they are dogs to drive. I replaced my clutch at 40K kms and it feels as good as new.

the coupe's have a bad issue with cracking subframes - violent smg shifts wouldn't help

the shifts do feel slow after getting used to the dual clutch in the gtr/sls, but then jumping in the ferrari, maser, etc i do prefer the softer smg over the neck snapping f1 shifts

with work vs-xx

and now that ive put the oem 19s back on to keep it looking oem

Good clean example :thumbsup:

I'll always be partial to the black coupes...can't be choosy though, it's difficult to find any E46 that hasn't been thrashed out.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
