The gear selector is far too generic. Surely that part can be altered?
its not even generic, it's really fucking distinctively BMW!

Re: Your fleet running reports

Possible progress on the Bentley. A very nice chap contacted me through eBay to say the knocking noise is likely to be the bolts securing the top mounts. They’re stretch bolts and if you re-use them (which I have, several times now :oops: ) they bottom out and appear to be tight, but aren’t actuall...

Re: Today’s want

Can they really not do anything about the gear knob? It looks pathetic - might as well graft some BMW 7 series tail lights on it too for the damage it does to the aesthetic.

What's the deal with those V6s, stroker kit?
does it give absurd bhp or not?
I doubt it, they were only around 250bhp from the original 3.2l

Probably sounds quite nice though!
we're spoilt by ///M specific power outputs!

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Different cultures innit. Italians don't care if you use their cars as parking sensors, Dutch prioritise bikes over everything else, in Vietnam - the bigger the vehicle the more priority it has (and potentially fatal accidents are regular), etc... In the UK, the car is an extension of our own little...

Re: New Merc C63 AMG

It was fairly predictable - without the big V8, what do the AMG C and E class actually offer above any other saloon? They've already put most of the AMG kit and badging on every other model in the ranges, so they're basically just back to looking and sounding like airport run taxis.

Just sharing women being mental tbh. HRT has helped (a bit).
