With money coming into it I can fully understand people wanting to spend less but get something that gets towards the more expensive car. I am a perfect example. Desperately wanted M3/ Alfa Quad/ 63, and I ended up taking a well specced 35 to taste a little of the big boys, but ultimately pay less than half the cost across the term. Of course I'd bloody take one of the proper cars! But couldn't justify/ find the money

I think the M / RS / 63s of this world are normally the pinnacle of engineering and capability - but that doesnt necessarily make them a better car for what a person does with theirs day in day out.

I love my M5, it really is collosal. An M340i would be more than good enough for how I use it and what I do with it. Whilst ever I have two, I can justify it as a weekend treat, but when I go back to just running one car, it wont be an M for my every day use...

(although maybe an RS4)....

As much as I'd love a M5 (and I really would!), I think this would be the ideal car for me in Touring form.

Just need BMW to do a crazy finance deal on it!

Nice!

Hmm March 2019 article...still not seen one here. I'm sceptical.

I read somewhere it will be coming with the facelift.

I will believe it when I see it though.

If it comes round about April 2021 and then takes 18 months to build massive deals, that would be fine....

If money was no object I'd have a Lamborghini Urus!

X5m or rsq8 (q7 is the same plaform as urus) for me

Well I'd also have a Cayenne Turbo Coupe over those.

Not bad only has 570bhp pah!

I seen an x5m recently and the entire street turned around it has so much road presence. Money can't buy that as I was laughing so hard when I seen a bentayga couldn't believe how shit it looked.

Edit I am 99% sure it was looked like this not sure when it was released but I wanted it bad

dazzapb · 05-06-2020, 03:43 PM

Just one more autocar pic for fun. It was black but looked more very dark navy in the sun. But loving this blue

Ok I'll have that too

I'm just jesting with drag stuff really in a split second even in the x3m it's possible to be banged up!

On the subject of bhp wars was surprised to see the x4m video in South Africa when it beat the 700 bhp trackhawk.

Pretty sure the m5 'beat' that Porsche in panamera form in a draggy too.

That does look good...given the size and styling no wonder it has Road Presence...

Bentayga or however it is spelt, looks comically bad.

Had tracking checked today thanks to Shadowdemon1 for the tracking parameters. The garage still thinks it an m sport

just rear toe out a bit.

dazzapb · 05-19-2020, 06:24 AM

Looking at this data not sure I am good. Rear toe left and right Should be 0.09 plus minus 0.06 worth changing from 0.02 and 0.01? I guess it was better before!

Also right front camber angle seems out too?

God knows about track angle?? Is that trust angle on my diagram?

Mine is the diagram. Other target data is from shadowdemon

Beast. Need to clean your idrive screen though!

dazzapb · 05-29-2020, 04:37 PM

Did my first LC - sweet baby Jesus it's ridiculous! Also fitted climate control from the 5 series as per thread on x3 bimmers

Sorted out tracking - didn't realise when the degrees top out at .59 it moves to next degree so there wasn't a problem really. I guess there's 4 x 60 quadrants in a circle so makes sense.

How/why did you fit 5 series climate control?

It was the inner part (digital output) more of a mod really. Purely for looks.
