Turn the wick up a bit further and there is 500. At 25.5 psi it isn't "nosing over" as such. Give it 30-32 and it bust through that 500 kW mark.

You are such a boy !!! lol

When is the car finished, box in and going yet ?

Got a video of the box going from N to 1 to 2 tonight. Quick dyno session for health/tune reasons then pickup

Just look at the roof there will be a wheel chair strapped on it, but a red one, very fast :)

^^^ LOL @ the CRD fan boii! You've done nothing but defend them all along and are still trying to!

The result is night and day and goes to show who does the hard yards to get their customers the results they paid for! GTFO out of this thread!

you've done nothing but bash them like a complete twat.

I just don't sit behind a keyboard being high and mighty. Many people had differing opinions of what could of been the issues, none of which we would of known until the car was looked at by Jez. Now we know.

Not once have I defended them, just put another option of opinion, un like you, who clearly just want to voice your blind one sided opinion on the internet.

If you still think any business is successful because of poor customer service or unhappy customers, you're delusional.

I'm happy that Pete's car is doing what he wanted it to do now.

And Pete, not once have I said you've bashed them, it's people like Mick who have done that.

Mate, I know you have not said I bash them, it is over with, lets move on:/

As soon as I get it I will see if I can warm those tyres up :)

Don't bother mate, this 'garage wars' shit has always happened, not worth giving it fuel.

Might be asking you the same question Pete if you launch with that much mumbo. Not sure what the Getrag is good for.

Guess I will have to find out, if it goes tits up I can borrow Pauls 88 , until mine gets here:/

They seem to hold the power quite well... That torque though... Not sure.

Damn Pete, should have kept to a 2.6L... Pfft!

The way it was, I was never worried about the box, I will have to drive it for a while and get the feeling, hope I make it home, I know I will not be able to help myself ,lol

Won't be revving it to 7k and dropping the clutch I don't reckon.

You just never know, but I will get a little movement first before letting it go, smokem :devil:

haha, I will work my way up and see how it goes, just want to finally feel it pulling hard :whistling:

theres no war going on here, just facts and back to back comparison on the same dyno from one person working on it to the next

    • 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.
