What kind of torque figures do you get with your M3?

I wonder what 185MPH feels like. The fastest I have ever experienced was 270 KPH (168.75 MPH) and that was mental!! Good for you mate.

I can beleive these figures my 330d pulls like a train anywhere above a ton god knows when it would run out, just dont fancy my chances finding out. You know everytime you decide to give it a quick squirt a copper appears like Mr Ben.
Im sure mine would clear the 155 limiter and were not even talking 300 horse.
Maybe we should set a day up on a airfield I think Elvington has a runway they use.

Defo, either join a 'straight-liners' top speed day at Elvington or Bruntingthorpe full runways.....

Or get a few of us together and book a weekday ourselves.

Brunters can't be that much on a week day??

PS wait for my map and de-limit first of course.....

I found the Association of Track Day Organisers, Thought it may be a good place to start, however their web site is down www.atdo.co.uk

I've just called Brunters re hiring the 2 mile runway.

Dave's not in, but I'll call back tomorrow.

And the real good bit is my flu is finally going ,thank the lord for that .

Private runway btw.
I hope to be joining you soon mate. Wife has finally approved M3 purchase What is the charge pipe and how does it work? Have you still got the rpi scoops as some tuners say they do nothing?

How is the insurance now with all the mods?
