How bad is it, they're so new that I'd hate to have to fill and spray them at this stage.

Bad...and noticeable. Sizeable chunks. ****ing ****.

Send them off to the place Voodoo(?) sent his 7er's wheels in the UK?
If I had wheels to fit I'd offer a lend, I've piles of alloys but they're all 15-4x100.

Gutted for you, new wheels and all!

Had them a year and was proud they they hadn't a single scratch. Ugh...

Won't be doing anything for a good while. Money not there to put into them. All the more rage inducing!

For sure man. I was thinking you were going for the four pot for tax / insurance reasons though. The 320 wouldn't cost much more to run but it's a much sweeter engine.

Good Choice for your new car davy!

Want to drive this one, might win you over to push a bit more

yea id love a spin in her some time i had a mechanically stanard 323i SE in the past so be good to see exactly what that enging can do when freed up inlet and exhaust wise like your beauty..:cool:

im getting too old stiff and want a standard 318is as a comfy economic arm chair that can still put a smile on my face down a backbroad..

the turquoise one i drove this morn felt like an air suspensioned rolls royce in comparison to the toyota:D

Big Nasty

The 2.5 was the sweet spot with the E36 IMO. Lots of power and great handling without going mega nuts on running costs. The 320 is nimble enough and a bit more liveable with today's motoring costs. Personally, I just couldn't be doing with the 4 pot.

GvidoR

:pac:

UnknownSpecies

Had the same dilemma when I was buying my car in November. Absolutely delighted I opted to pay a bit extra in tax etc for the 6 pot 320.

Didn't Know you had a few before
I've only free'd up the exhaust side, I read mixed reviews and from talking with chaps who have changed the manifold, it puts the torque and power right near the top.
No Good while trying to have a daily.
I love the low down pull from the m52.

Very diesely type pull from low down that I wouldn't want to lose

Your welcome to a spin anytime!

Looks good but I'm not into that type of music more into the rap and the hip hop.

New Kendrick Lamar album?

I'm a lover of all music, from Raymond Deane to Aphex Twin. I can't bloody stand Muse though, I even went to see them in the Point because all my mates were going but jaysus, it was the most boring night of my life!

I didn't even know that is out.

As I said I like hip hop and rap but I'm not that much of a music lover like I don't be on any hip hop sites or anything looking up the newest albums. i do like the mixtape sites though as you get good music for free. Rather than illegally downloading the latest albums.

Duke O Smiley

Country, rock and roll, blues, folk, and gospel are my favorite genres in that order.

Special Circumstances

I'll listen to anything from bluegrass ( check out irish band I Draw Slow if you haven't already Duke) through Lamb of God through to house.

If you're into EDM, I am loving almost everything on "noir music" YouTube channel at the mo.

Today the neighbours have been mostly disturbed by Drive by Truckers ( you may or may not like these Duke) and the theme tune from True Detective. And the gloaming, the Dubliners and the Pogues for the day that's in it.

Bpmull

I was in college the whole day studying for exams from 9 this morning and not long out. But during the day I spent literally 1/2 an hour trying to argue that premium brand tyres are better than cheap chinese tyres. They reconed that because chinese tyres often last longer and are cheaper to buy that it would be stupid to spend extra money on the likes of bridgestone or goodyear etc. I ended up giving up in the end no wonder most cars are going around with chinese sh!t on them people just don't get it even when you try and explain the performance and grip issues. I was even called a tyre brand snob at one stage :pac:

peege

Will all 5 nut tyre space savers fit any car?

Dartz

Enh. Seems to be an Irish thing. The only thing people care about in this country is the price. Nothing else.

Muse is like a less successful U2 for those born in the 80s and early 90s, have I got that right?

Muse like to take mushrooms and drink Guinness from the can.
Matt isn't sure if he's a DJ or a guitarist.

They're no U2, not even close.
Even their biggest fans say there recent stuff is ****.
