The wife has an e93 I have been very impressed with the drive over my e46touring. All except the mpg the book figure is a third less than reality, yet her z4 was bang onto book.. 38 mpg was never going to happen from a 3.0

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I have a 125i M Coupe. Book figure for mpg is 35.1 combined which I thought was optimistic for a 3.0 petrol. If I drive like a saint, i get 23, if I drive like it's stolen, i get 23. So i drive like it's stolen. :)

Mate its for 'Sandes', they are a non-profit making charity directed by concern rather than profit. There is a centre/ tea shop where i work in pirbright and its been here for ever. Anyway the roof is starting to give up and leak and there is no cash in the pot. So i put my pants on over my uniform and said i would help where i can. So far we have around £1000 in last month from begging from the family members who come to see their pride and joy in training, but i am hoping to get lots more this month

http://www.sandes.org.uk/template.asp?pare...0&area=1&aNAme=

This is why the Mk1 is not done as i have been putting all my time in to this and with my work as well.

I have not got a justgive page or any thing like that, I have been out there on the streets and shops with the buckets and tins, and on the phone working my charm.*happy*

Also me and the guy who runs sandes have said a donation will be made to the wife of one of my best mates who got killed in Afghanistan at Christmas, for her to give to a charity for injured and killed servicemen/women and their children.

All cars are shit in snow without proper tyres. Don't blame the modern Beemers, they are actually the best there is.
