John, Why dont you drive it?

Actually - Duncan will drive yours and I'll drive Duncans!!!

Why, because JB is at least a second faster than me, and easiest second I wil ever get. I am not slow he is a freak and does it more so. I drove it 13 track days last year, so plenty of fun. As a business and representing my company it would be a luxury for me to drive it at this event. Apart from Mark Berry how many cars in pro class are driven by the owner???

Duncan drives it no probs and lucky fats won't fit in it. I could not deal with Pete being faster than me also.

Engine swap on the way VQ30 100kg lighter, there is asecond or two straight off.

What about one of those stroker kits out of th eUS for the VQ35, dont they get them out to 4.2L or something truly silly ?

Yes Bris but cost and don't need to much more power but it would be nice. Cubes equals torque.

Check this out.

Superlap info from USA SIte.

The Cyber Evo or whatever it's called is gonna be nuts fast. Do not miss it!

Also, Giants 34 is undergoing some mild mods in an effort to make it faster still, keep your eyes peeled :) And yes, getting the 4WD to work is also high on the priority list. haha

Sierra Sierra is coming from the states (and they will be quick) don't think any UK cars are coming. we would love to have had the M-speed GTR here and tried. there are a few good japanese cars coming, and yes there will be some other serious GTRs there. The "old" Hi-octane GTR (the black 32) should be back with a few mods since last time it was there. some pretty tasty mods at that. and like marlin said Mark is working away on the 34 so that it should be quicker too (don't forget it's already well into the 1 minute 30 second range at EC!!). It's going to be a great event.

I might need to get serious then. This will be MASSIVE. Especially with Baron turning up.

      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.
