Hey how's everybody doing? It's been a long time. Ken accept my condolences, sorry to hear about your loss.

I see some have upgraded their bimmers but some downgraded... I can't wait myself for the upcoming 2015 X5M, surely my next truck.

Anyone with 35d around interested in JBD/CANtool combo for a reasonable price, shoot me PM.

If you're referring to me - I'm not sure it's necessarily a downgrade, considering that finally I don't have the same car as EVERYONE else - a black 335 with Mtech bumpers. Now I have a car that only about a hundred other people have - in Canada, anyway

Hell, I saw another guy with one and we stopped on the side of the road to chat about them. Hehe.

Hey Joel. I'm still around while it's warm. Did a fun remap/reflash on my D truck lately. Winter I'm off again to Mexico or Florida till April. How's your M? Do you still drive your 335?

The M3 is converted to a dedicated track car, and the 335 is replaced by a twin turbo Ford pickup. Nice to hear from you. We have to get together again one of these days, especially before the summer runs out. Cheers.

Heads up everyone - I'm setting the BBQ time at 14:00 (I mentioned noon to some people but I have an engagement that got shifted from Sunday morning... so 14:00 works better for me). Hopefully that doesn't change anything. Burgers and designer sausages planned.

so i finally picked up my "new" car.... its got 33k kms on it. drives great so far. totally different experience from driving the m3. its so much more raw. the fact that it has solid metal suspension bushings and links instead of rubber ones make the entire car just that much more connected to the road. i can literally feel every crease and bump in the road surface. not sure if thats a good thing or not but i have the oem pieces so i can always switch it back if i want a more comfortable ride.

exhaust noise isnt that loud. its actually pretty quiet around town. the car has an active exhaust so the tone actually changes when you put it into sport mode (more aggressive sound).

the fixed back race buckets are pretty comfortable, especially since i got used to driving my m3 with fixed back recaros. i have harnesses but they are tucked behind the seat when i drive on regular streets. will whip them out on the track.

the brakes are squeaky. i did check the life of the pad and its got 85% of meat still there. it might be the pad compound but it still bites even when cold so i guess its not a full on race pad.

the clutch has very little assist on it. its very very firm. i think tony with his Z4M wouldnt have a problem getting used to it but coming from a 'softie' m3, its quite a change.

there's no hill hold assist with this manual gearbox... i am ok with it. wife might have an issue driving the car.

no navigation in the car. just a simple radio/CD player. might install some sort of aftermarket nav/radio head unit at a later time. at least it has air con!! apparently there are quite a few of these cars out there without AC!

roll cage in the back means no space for putting much luggage or other crap behind me. i am kind of limited to the front trunk space. we'll see how i cope with this space constraint later on. it might be quite a challenge. the e92 has a lot of cargo space in comparison to this car. i'll have to figure out where to put my sausage dog when we go on road trips.

the car begs to go onto the track... off to mosport with tony and joel in a week!! cant wait!

wow that guy was going way too fast on a back road. considering how narrow the road is, thats pretty scary. actually i am surprised the car didnt flip.

Tres jolie. The track is calling.

265/35 and 335/30 R18 - Some modding needed. Rennlist has tons of combos and options to explore.
