Re: B5 on Collecting Cars
I drove a car with ACC over the Christmas break and absolutely hated it! Didn't feel in control of the car at all - which wasn't a good feeling, as I am sure you can imagine

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
What were the symptoms for your Head gasket Simon? I'm sure Simon will be along shortly, but here are my experiences of a failing B3S HG There are a number of indications: - mpg worsens unexpectedly (depends, of course, on how carefully you monitor this) - pinking under load at lower revs (open the...

Re: The waiting is over!
Charles, how did you determine that the head gasket was due? I'm approaching 85,000 miles..... There are a number of indications: - mpg worsens unexpectedly (depends, of course, on how carefully you monitor this) - pinking under load at lower revs (open the window and listen as you go up a hill und...

Re: Pirelli P-Zero v Michelin p4s
I've been running P Zero's on mine now for a few years and really liked them. I've recently been trying to source new ones for the rear and experienced difficulty. In the end i e mailed Pirelli UK and they have told me that the P Zero has been discontinued :( :( . I'm now looking at Michelin PS5's....

Re: The waiting is over!
Congratulations Charles :dance :dance 104000 miles on mine. Anything i should be considering? If you haven't done it recently, then expect the Head Gasket to need replacing soon. On average, mine needs replacing every 85k miles Your shock absorbers will be getting tired but, unless you notice a sig...

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Changed another original part - not many others left!

Re: D3 F30 20” alloys issues
D3 F30 20” alloys Has anyone gone up on the profile. ??? Increasing the profile will, amongst other things, cause problems with speed reading. If my maths is correct then you will be going faster than the speedo indicates. This is because the overall diameter has increased, thus increasing the roll...

Re: B3, M3, 340i, 340d Touring Drag Race Carwow
What would be interesting is to see the two of them around a track as I suspect the B3, with it's greater torque and broader torque band, would be even closer. Choice of track, however, would be important - around Monza, for example, the M3 would win but around Monaco the B3 would have a fighting ch...
