so how u finding the smg? i can't stand the smg II for fractions of a second quicker shifting its farrking annoying. IMO its not an actual M car unless its a real manual.

when mum and dad got back from europe in 99 they went from the airport to the bmw dealership and came home in an E39 M5, and i loved thrashing that thing.

u on dtmpower.net ?

Hey mate, Honestly... I think you either hate the SMG or love it...

It does take a bit to get used to, 1st gear can be a bit clunky... but other than that its great.

I'm really loving it, it handles so well and I mean that engine is so fcking glorious.

I'm on a couple of forums M3 forum and bimmerforums... i will check out DTMpower.net.

I understand what your saying about the proper manual thing, but does that include the latest model BMW M3 E92 because it has the 7 Speed M-DCT transmission????

Because, that BMW is a brilliant car!!! even if it's not a manual...

you could say that about a lot of other cars... For instance, look at the AMG mercedes... all Auto gear boxes.

sorry but yes, the amgs are pieces of shit wrapped around decent motors. down in melb last yr i seen an ae92 rolla smash an amg v8 which was quite funny to see the understandably upset merc driver not road rage but road sook.

BMW purists are of the belief that the M3 should have remained a 6cyl. i tend to concur with that thought as its definitely not as 'chuckable' as the E36 or E46 M3s.

altho the hamman las vegas wings is a weapon id love to have a thrash in and its a v8 it is not an M3 anymore.

True that, I do like the sound of the AMG's though.

That hamman is a V8? fck... how much is it worth??

Obviously that Merc driver would have been pissed... would have been funny to see his reaction. haha

the hamman is roughly 360k usd with an E39 M5 5L in it.

the sound of the amg is what turned my head then watching him line up and the rolla driver had the cheekiest grin, then seriously smoked him with relative ease was hilarious.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
