So what's the top speed of the thing ??

After all, air resistance builds exponentially so I'd be interested whether this thing could beat a Veyron

(My guess - No - after all it's just a series produced Hot-Rod ;-)

And if you want 'power and torque' you can always chuck a Rolls Royce Merlin into a 55Chev to get the world's most powerful road registered car

:P

i'd have one if it were given to me for sure

race a few mates, maybe race some people that aren't mates

I can see it now, me being 17 rocking up at milton with a bunch of imports from CB and me in that thing, growling along slowly behind them. I'd get shit for it till I put my foot down lol

Bring it on I say, gimme one. I'll keep it for a week and then sell it and buy myself a few Race Spec GT-R's :P

Ok i found the mag

The Bugatti Veyron

8.0 Litre W16 Quad Turbo running 1.2 Bar

736Kw at 6000rpm, 1250Nm at 2000rpm

2 diff keys for 2 diff speed limits first key limit 375kmh 2nd key limit at 407kmh

0-100 in 2.5

0-200 in 7.3

0-300 in 16.5

9.8 1/4mile

400-0 in 9.8

When travelling at 400kmh it chews 100 litres of fuel in 12 minutes

Quote from motor mag "A monument to engineering stubborness over common sense and tradition"

If your jaws open that wide from just reading the Motor article on it then imagine what will happen to your jaws when you see Jeremy Clarkson driving it through europe in the last season of top gear :):)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
