Re: V8 Forever Same sentiments. M3 is currently my longest love affair. Reliability tops the prev BMWs I've owned too

Re: time warped beemer That's the replica design of Jeff Koon's art commissioned by BMW.

Re: F30 Build Quality Best to request PML to make good the defects. I have not owned Jap for quite a while but I don't recall Jap cars to have such quality issues either. My past BMWs were made in South Africa, then Spartanburg then Leipzig - and in the same order of increasing build quality...

Re: new porsche boxster s or used audi r8 spyder or used maser gt Maserati has great engine sound and is a big car with long wheel base so cannot expect agility of smaller sports cars. Cockster has a flat 6 engine. Doesn't feel very special and need to pay a fair bit for the options. R8...

Re: NA to turbo, times are changing Ya u r right, ferrari and Lamborghini use two, one for each bank.

Not a new video but in this era when manufacturers are downsizing engines, when is the next time one can get a high revving engine with individual throttle butterflies and equal length headers? Don't say Lambo or Ferrari la... Does the new M5 engine have individual throttle butterflies...

Re: Groaning noises from rear M Differential Oh ya, just to be more precise, the groaning only happens when there is drive applied (i.e. by depressing the throttle), if it's free-wheeling, no sound. I never quite understood how an open diff works, much less an LSD. I know the Jappies sell...

Re: Groaning noises from rear M Differential When my car was at 10,000km, the groaning noises are not as loud and pronounced as now (22,000km). It just doesn't feel good making tight turns in the morning, it's like both wheels have a locking differential and try to turn the same number of...

Re: Groaning noises from rear M Differential Thanks bros!! Yes my car is lightly driven and covered only 20,000km after 3 years. Will try the rear diff oil change with Munich, hope it's free!

Brothers, Recently I have been hearing more groaning noises coming from the M rear differential when making a turn. The noises are more pronounced when the car is stone cold. I also observed that if i don't apply the throttle and let the car roll through the turn, there are no noises but...

Re: Last hurray to that M5 I didn't know that the E60 M5 is blown. Nice bi-turbo. Tight package. I like. Slurp

Re: M3 Software Update Any idea how to check software version? Cheers

Re: Munich DCT M3 Owners To your questions Moving off from first, it's smooth, no lurches. Coming to a stop, especially coasting to a gradual stop sometimes can feel engine brake as the DCT auto shifts to two before coming to a complete stop. I drive in manual mode.

Re: Any warning for Battery low voltage ? iDrive will have an alert message "...high battery discharge..." and your car's courtesy lights, comfort access, USB may be turned off. After the battery was replaced by Munich, every function was restored.

Re: Petrol consumption F10 535 My M averages 5.6km/lit all city driving and I use sport+ all the time. Dunno about consumption but vPower seem to make cold start rough, so I use Techron.

Re: Audi A6 C7 vs BMW F10 In my opinion, F10 styling is very grown-up a bit Ah Peh. E60 to me still looks better. C7 looks sleeker and more "yuppy".

Re: M3 engine blow up? Interesting videos I must say. The M3 purportedly hit 310km/h during the drag race with the 440bhp Evo. Can an M3 supposedly with only air filter mods, de-cat and exhaust hit 310? :chinese:

Re: M3 engine blow up? E92 m3 vs others - BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) ^^ same owner whose M3 engine blew I am definitely keeping mine virgin stock standard. :D

Re: aston martin v8 vantage s or porsche 911 gts ? Apart from looks, interior and trunk space - evaluate the transmissions between the cars too. Lambo makes the you nod like a Japanese. 911 is probably got the most comfy transmission - haven't driven the GTS but if similar to current PDK...
