Regardless of what you think about running in the engine and transmission components.
1. Tyres take 200 miles to gain full grip. 2. Brakes take the 200 - 300 miles to bed in fully. If you pick your car up in winter the above is even more important. |

[QUOTE=Serjames;1604192]Wil be good to have you Steve, I'm really excited to see how the Diesels do too, I had a real job keeping up with Evil D yesterday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a D over an i if someone was concerned about Petrol costs.
This would be the extra weight of the folding metal roof of the E93. |

I'm not so sure the arbitary "200 miles" is relevant. Yes the tyres have releasing compounds in the very outer layer, and yes the brakes need bedding in. There are ways to do this properly, and neither prevent you from Loading the engine through the rev range for the first 20 miles. JMHO - based on experience of sliding around the peak district the day after I picked mine up. SJ |

The performance could also be down to the transmission. Aparently it 'learns your style of driving' and changes accourdingly.
Also not sure if 2008 3 series model has quicker change patterns. Apparently the 635d has this whatever it means. I cannot beleive it makes much difference with powerful cars like 6 cylinder BM's. As far as power outputs are concerned I think I read somewhere that there is a tollerance of 5% which the engine can be below published output but can be anything above. i.e. 300 bhp car. 5% below 285bhp, 5% above 315bhp. So Mr Evil may have a good one. |

lol that's exactly why I'm really interested to dyno them, I know that it's not the same as a good old race, or drag run, but I guess that's for NEXT Spring.
We'll organise a Run what ya brung at the POD, special guest CarlosTOPFUEL335D - watch this space. |

Have added the Dyno event to the Forum Calendar
By the way this is NOT about who has the BEST car.... That's why we're trying to get the Lambo to turn up, just to keep our ego's in check. It's about documenting ALL the BMW's in comparison on the same day on the same dyno, with and without mods. So Please bring your 320d or your 320i we really want to see everyone there. |

I dunno Carl - our are both the same (albeit my 225's beat those 230's hands down) so it must be the driver
SJ - great blast though. Hopefully no-one caught that on film! |

Odd one that - it couldn't have been a lockup as I was nowhere near the brakes.
Maybe a bit of DTC or just a bit too much torque going down round the corner. Great rip though. |
