Unless people want to organise it themselves or have better ideas perhaps keep the crap talk to a minimum in this thread? We always lose all the detail amongst so much crap in this section.

Honestly, who gives a f**k who likes what ECU or what the workshops in question recommend. It's a 5 minute run on the rollers so that you and others can see what your car is doing.

As a workshop I don't even use ESP but they're good guys, it's always a good day and they do whatever they can to accommodate us and even donate prizes usually.

You make me laugh Richtard :D

Go with ESP Kat, you've organised a successful day there before and they always put on a good day and are extremely accommodating.

These "event" days aren't to hang shit on different cars/parts/workshops/tuners, enough of that goes on as it is. It's a day to put all that crap aside and have fun as car enthusiasts.

Edit: and to also laugh at Richtard cause his car is ghey :P

Most of us know what our cars are going to do on the dyno. Point of the day is to get together and to watch tough cars scream their tits off and get some good pics and footage :)

And the fact most of us have had them on different synod across ACT and NSW so will be good to get solid results from the same dyno

Dependant on date I'm interested. Good to see the difference from Jakes to another dyno.

Don't forget Ultimate tunes have a huge TV for dyno runs (or did), so that's another option. Also one day Trojan might have their 4wd dyno running.

im not holding my breath for john to set his up lol. its been covered in dust for the last 2 years min, although i think he was refurbing over the break so that might change. They do have a big tv, as do esp now im pretty sure. Going off the last few days that Kat has organised, ESP was the preferred location, so we will head there :)

    • 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.
