edit: the old one was a 3.6 V6, as I'm sure you know

Apologies - I did indeed mean SUV.
I remember reading about that one. Quite the project.mikeyb wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:41 pmApologies - I did indeed mean SUV.
I forgot to mention before - there was a readers car thread on a 560bhp Superb on Boatshoes

It's definitely part of it, DSGs just fire through tthe gears almost seamlessly. In pracical terms they're hardly slower than race sequential boxes. Also these engines have lots of power but also a boat-load of torque delivered right through the rev range. Sierra Cosworths had just North of 200bhp yet we now think nothing of these ubiquitous nigh-on-300bhp cars. I guess it shouldn't be surprising that they'll do mid-5s to 60mph.
Our 125i has the same power to weight as my 330i, yet will hit 60 0.8s quicker (5.8 vs 6.6) - I'd imagine most of that is down to the ZF8 'box. In fact, I think the Sport Auto optioned version we have is listed as 0.3s or so quicker than the standard ZF8.
Yes, quite silly I wonder what he got for it in the end, as it was a fairly fanciful price he was advertising it at IIRC.mikeyb wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:41 pmApologies - I did indeed mean SUV.

That's lovely. I like it a lot!!
Harry - seemingly not no Well, not as an option on the Sportline anyway. It's the Vega ones as shown in that pic, or the Supernova which we've gone for, as in this pic:integrale_evo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 12:39 pm Looks nice.
Do they do any wheels which aren't diamond cut? The scourge of modern cars!
