    That's is a serious BMW collection!! :D Have you had any non BMW big engined stuff?

    Had an Rx8 (low power version) which drove very well, but drank worse than the M5. Other small stuff. Had a 316i e90 BMW was a ball of crap, has a opel astra saloon I learned to drive in. A mazda 3 from new...good car that, currently have a Mazda 6 estate new model - good car there again a Dasul, extraordinary engine the new skyactive diesel.. I have had all sorts and I know the stupidity and joy of a sublimely fast car, the peace of mind of a new car, the pride of a quality car and the pain of an unreliable car. I love cars full stop, like everyone on here should. I take as much sanctification from a young guy posting a clean and tidy first fiesta on here as a stunning Porsche. Everyone should realize that no matter what you got somebody has got better. And god bless those that have better so I can see them and dream about owning it. Cannot stand fanboys and Bullsh1tters mind you.

    Interesting. I prefer the look of E39, E46 and MK2 TT over the Z4.

It was gas the neighbour on the other side had a brand new lexus and I could only enter my car through the boot and exit via the passenger door :pac: but if I could only pick one of the three for a rip across the mountains, ax all day.

    Curious of the coin test, I just tested my 120k miled LPG'd LS430



    its noisier than it should be thanks to the lpg injectors

    //

    this is mine from a year ago, the coin in the middle has some support but the one on the battery is not even moving. Not many places to balance a coin.

    Ah no Dougal I didnt transplant a m5 engine into a 420d, I was just proving my car history because I feel so inadequate, childish I know.

    The 20d engine is actually the most popular in the 4 series range in Britain as well as Ireland. Maybe its because its cheap run, has more torque than a e46 m3 or an is250 which means stronger in gear performance at low revs, which is most suited to mixed driving. They are geared for motorway speeds, and in real life it has all the performance of the m5 in and around the speed limit. Does 40+ Mpg too. A modern diesel is surprising (certainly was for me driving the 20d with the 8 speed auto), and I am a real petrol head, not just a chap that has bought my first car with a engine over 1ltr.

    Now a 435i like the one you see in your work, would be nice....I should know here is my old 335i, that was a good engine aright.


    I can play this game all day.....mods forgive me.


    point taken Ted, :p I am not a great fan of diesels as you may gather. If they work for you well and good. How different is the diesel on that 4 series compared to say ones used in Honda Accords, Passats rtc? forgive my ignorance.

    But its a lovely motor you have sir.

    Hachico, please don't post in this thread until further notice.
    Chaos follows you whenever you post here, It should be pointed out that you aren't responsible for a lot of it, but it is having a negative effect on a popular thread and needs to be addressed.
    I will move some of your posts to your own IS250 SEL thread as I know you're proud of your car and like to talk about it.
    Those that are deliberately winding others up just for a reaction and derailing threads aren't going unnoticed.
