Official quoted figure for the F80 is 430bhp. As with all bmw's that is approximately 5-10% below actual. Since you love facts n figures I'm sure you can work it out. Of course a golf r would leave it for dead regardless.

I agree. The front looks like a bog standard SE.

Pablo my learned friend.
Does that also apply to Alpinas?

Well I ain't read the comments from you guys but I read the main thread of it and seems Sutcliffe isn't really a fan of the M3/4 this time around.

Sound like a pat on the back for fast diesel fans everywhere. Alpina really make some shocking wheels and crap bits of glued on metal plates inside the cabin though, really still in 2014? Superb with the engine and chassi though

Don't agree Chester.
Sutcliffe is a huge fan of the M3.

It's just that he's an even bigger fan of the D3..

Did I just say that a diesel was better than a petrol....??

Slightly off topic, but would the BMW dealer have any issue on warranty and service if I had an ACS power upgrade fitted to a 435d? Same question for the ACS spring upgrade.

If not, I'll be looking at both of those.

Thanks

Bit of a random question to ask in this thread?

I think you are better off starting a new thread with your question, you might get a few answers then.

Slightly off topic but went for to the RR today and they couldn't strap the car down. When they tried it was sliding to the side! They use the mustang dyno at a company called Viezu. They were going to try something different but I'd have to wait until the end which would have been another 3 hour wait.
