These comparos are hilarious the GT-R is going to kill pretty much anything.

Id like to see a more evenly matched comparo with say an aventador or even 458Italia,

Mclaren mp4c these cars are more evenly matched against the gtr even if they cost 3x as much :)

M5,M3,c63,rs5 don't even come close when comparing performance.

I was surprised to read the c63 and TT RS are pretty close to the R35 in the 80-120 comparison, but behind

in pretty much everything else.

v8 engine sounds through the speakers because they cant make the engine/exhaust sound like its supposed to = the M legacy is well and truely over

.....and people ask me why i refuse to accept low ball offers on my parked up E46 M3 individual convert

Oh, how can you have a convertible M car yet think the legacy is over because of some artificial sound enhancement?

Everyone was complaining when the I6 went away, everyone will complain when the S65 V8 goes away too but so far it seems BMW M are on track.

The styling on the new M6 is fantastic.

X5/6M is another matter of course!

Great video and sensible conclusion! I'm a huge Harris fan, probably my favorite of his would be his 458 v Gt3RS vid...Beautifully done.

the S54 sounds better topless

M cars are all about the engine.... the chassis are no different to the base model

The S54 was my favourite sounding of all M engines...the raspiness in the upper RPM range, thanks to ITBs, gave it a race ready sound that all inline sixes should have. Wouldn't consider the M legacy to be over though...just the times they are a changin'.

SMG or manual? I have good memories of being thrown around in my seat by the harshest SMG setting, which felt like it was going to snap the tailshaft, accompanied by said rasp.

mine's a mid 2005 smg so one of the last built - paint and interior are from the individual program

yeh the smg is harsh in the fastest settings, with stability off you get a 6th even faster tail shaft snapping setting - and because of that ive never dared to use the LC (in my own car :cool: ). If you leave it in the 3rd or 4th setting and just ease of the accelerator mid-shift it is very smooth. Also shift quality is dependant on maintenance. I have friends who buy wholesale'd cheap M3's with 100K+ km on original clutch and they are dogs to drive. I replaced my clutch at 40K kms and it feels as good as new.

the coupe's have a bad issue with cracking subframes - violent smg shifts wouldn't help

the shifts do feel slow after getting used to the dual clutch in the gtr/sls, but then jumping in the ferrari, maser, etc i do prefer the softer smg over the neck snapping f1 shifts

with work vs-xx

and now that ive put the oem 19s back on to keep it looking oem

Good clean example :thumbsup:

I'll always be partial to the black coupes...can't be choosy though, it's difficult to find any E46 that hasn't been thrashed out.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.

      Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
