Yup that's the place, I went there a few times during lockdown for a few meets, even the police didn't say anything (only told people not to rev their cars haha). I'm sure you'll be fine. Just drive in there - at a couple of places the chain between the posts is missing.

Only thing is at some point during lockdown they had that road closed, not sure if they reopened it or not.

My beast.
Best car I've owned for sure. Love it.
Coming up to 2.5 years in, 41k Miles. Can't imagine how it could be replaced for similar money based on the current market.

This thread is such a tease, I love it.

The merino interior though is on another level completely - I'll seek that out next time but it won't be for a good while as I really don't see how it can get much better than this generation of 340, they are brilliant value for money.

Also if there are any MPPSK owners within an hour or so of Newbury I'd love to meet up and hear it before I commit to getting one.

Traded my 430D for a 440i in mid July.

Lockdown seen a revelation and my business mileage disappeared so could for the first time in 20 years ditch the diesel for a petrol.

In the middle picture can see the front wheel of my 430D. It'll be off to a new home now.

I liked the blue with cream interior but a BMW has to be black.

It's perfect for what I need and after driving the M340i I would not swap x-drive for the MPPSK as power is about the same on the 2 cars. The numbers on the g20 are a bit too rich for me at the moment.

Looking at the M550i for my next car.

Interesting re x-drive, am feeling them same. Ours could be some of the last RWD 3l petrols. But after doing a few different track days I realised you really do need the LSD to complete these cars, which really should have come as standard.

Agreed are M550i, could be my next too.

Yes, that black and white combo is awesome.

Is that rear diffuser painted?

Winter is coming, time for an LSD

Thanks. Yeah they are a great looking wheel. I'm not a hoooge fan of tyres looking like rubber bands and they give great comfort and grip being 18".
When I go for a set of ACS springs in the new year, it should round it off nicely.

Just read your build thread - absolutely amazing and has given me plenty of potentially expensive ideas!

Future mods likely to be coilovers and maybe an lsd. Also considering the Reiger or maxton design splitter side sills and diffuser.

Nice one Stu - hows the downpipe sound? is the coldstart much louder?

Great specs! Envious of your front camera - who installed it for you?

Thanks I went all out on it lol

I did it myself It's an MMI box that controls the camera and the HDMI input.
The camera is pretty good as it comes on automatically when you would expect it to

Wow, good work. Wish I had the courage and skill to do that.
Also, I like the rear splitter as it seems to compliment the side skirts. Maxton only sell for f32 though - is that what you got?

I think you might have persuaded me to colour my v bar, I've always thought they looked chavvy but that looks spot on!

Thanks, but those shown came with the car as standard, I bought the others for the winter set up & to repace the front nearside as it's not perfect, so will use that one as a winter wheel.
