    Impulse ordered staggered LM reps. But the more I think about it now, every other modded BMW has a set of them. Might send them back and go for something a bit different.:confused:

    I was thinking about buying the same myself. But am leaning towards BBS CH reps instead. Again pretty common, but a nice wheel. Either are a cool wheel, if you like them go for it. In all honesty I haven't seen many LMs on 3 coupes around. We might be better discussing this in the OT thread...hate to drag this too far off topic :p

    Ahhh! The general misconception about cheap coilovers being uncomfortable ;) :pac:


    JOM's must be one of the harshest I have ever been in.
    Even my 21yr old son agrees with me.
    He had them on his Toledo and trust me, they were far from comfortable and very far from OEM comfort :(

    We have a small lip on the ground coming out of our shed, I remember coming out in the Golf when I just put in the coilovers, pretty sure I cried a little.

    Quickly got used to it though.

    It's not filthy, it's used for its purpose. Some people would nearly have the car in the sitting room instead of a TV!

    I like mine clean and properly protected but I prefer it when it looks like it's being put to use.

    I could make a sexist joke but I won't.

    Picked this up for €700 the other day. She's the 2.2 diesel. Very handy on juice (compared to the other yoke I have) Pretty happy with her so far... It's just something to do me til I can rebuild the bike! :D

    Thanks man. Took a bit of scrubbing as the guy hadn't even bothered to wash it. One of the reasons I used to bargain him down. :D

    I can't how you have it propped but there was a poor crater over the road from me killed last year when whatever way he had his car jacked failed and it came down on him. It's worth throwing a couple blocks of timber under the jacking points in case it does come down. Nice motor btw.

    Looks like its driven up on a wooden ramp so pretty safe.

    Yeah I'm very conscious of that which is why I'm not adding jacks, which are the fail point. Its on a wooden ramp both sides, wider than the wheel with both sides actually 2 separate pieces (4 ramps in 2x2) for redundancy. The tyres are chocked from rolling forward and back.

    In this case, an oil change, you don't get under the car, the sump plug can be done at arms length. I have experienced a jack fail on someone else's car at their house.

    he doesn't tell us how many miles he gets on a full tank, i would be surprised if he saw 250/300miles from long distance..?

    its a very cool motor though.

    Who me? Well no one asked so obviously I didnt tell. :P

    The 850CSi (5.6 V12) gets 350miles (560km) on a 90litre tank.
    The 740i (4.4 V8) which is my daily gets over 400miles (660km) on a 90litre tank. I think it could just about get 500miles to a tank if driven nicely.

    Thats my commuting MPG, none of it with any real regard to saving fuel.


    Considering the technology gap (vastly in favour of the 740i) and performance gap (in favour of the 850CSi), thats pretty good going for the 8 series.

    Sounds about right. I used to get about 380 from a full tank on the 735 - mostly urban.
