I'll get it going...😁

Have nearly always had a Bmw as my daily.I have a very short commute & After many 3 & 5 series ,both diesel & petrol, & with mileage not being an issue....I decided to chase a dream machine....

A week ago that dream was realised, so I'm thrilled to have added this to my Garage....View attachment 135956View attachment 135957View attachment 135958View attachment 135959View attachment 135960View attachment 135961View attachment 135962

This is savage! Unreal machine and was looking at Lewis website at it for a while. This is on my list too as it's a perfect daily with oodles of power to boot. When the itch comes, and it will come, Bootmod is a great platform software to add more power etc and the mapping can be done remotely too. Just don't come talk to me about it or you will end up with a 600 ish bhp M3 with hybrid turbos running on an ethanol blend way too soon :p

p.s: we been messing with this platform for a while and know how to extract a fair bit more power safely from them. One of my friends, Mark is running a 1200 bhp M3 and we learnt a lot along the way on how to do things the proper way :)

Cheers,👍 it grabbed my attention too 😂,
Between condition & colour,I had to make it happen..
I know this usually gets sed,but I plan on keeping the car as it is.For me there's nothing to do just maintain & enjoy it.

Handy to know there's access to a wealth of info,if my plan ever changes 👌👍👍

I also picked up this mk1 vrs octavia combi the weekend.
It's a diamond in the rough.
Needs a deep deep clean inside and out,no idea why they put white/grey carpet on floor/seats and door cards.
Will possibly end up fitting a black carpet down the road if I like the car.

Should be a bit of craic on the road and handy for bringing the dogs and family around.

I'm sure the 1.8t engine will keep me busy too.

Lovely cars. Wagon - tick. Red colour - tick. Very tunable that engine as well and a great chassis underneath. Plenty of fun to be had with this :)

Shakir orange with black interior. It's my fave combo for the M3. And yes, it doesn't need more power but it's always an option. The chassis is just brilliant for those and on track they are really a revelation on how M cars are meant to be. So, don't be reluctant to track it as it can really hold it's own in Mondello.

Also, if you ever decide to sell it, please let me know :)

I should probably update my current car line up. Can't remember if I mentioned that I sold the black 5 door Mk5 Vw Gti and got a clean low mileage 3 door Red Mk5 Gti that had a Stage 1 map already.

Since I got it, I as usual couldn't leave it alone. It was running about 250bhp when I got it. It had a sports cat downpipe, upgraded coils and Ram Air oversized air intake. It was really well looked after from a friend of mine who's wife had it for 7 years and they needed a bigger car with the arrival of a baby. Got a great deal for it at the time last year.

I started making a list of things I wanted to do to it and realised very quickly that's it's a very well engineered car and didn't need to be completely reworked like my Subaru as this was meant to be a fun daily car for occasional goons. So I got new shocks, springs and top mounts along with tie rod ends etc, oem to freshen it all up. Geo alignment for daily driving. Then a set of Bbs Ch came up for sale so bought them as they needed refurb. Got that done and added a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 which I quite liked on other cars.

Then after a while, the itch came back and I decided to bring up the power a bit more. So added a Miltek exhaust resonated, a S3 front mount and a full K04 turbo swap kit with bigger injectors etc from an Audi S3. Along with all that I had already upgraded the front brakes to a set of newer Cupra ones with a set of Ferodo Ds2500 pads. Sent it to Autobay to install and map the ecu/tcu as it's a dsg.

It made 316bhp/345 ft lbs torque on their dyno. It drives really well and it's a very different machine to the Subaru. And this is just on 95Ron fuel. To me it's a really fun drivers car and I can't see myself selling this one anytime soon 😊

Thats class man. I knew you wouldn't leave it be lol 😆
Over 300 brake in that must be a fair machine to go. Herself had one a few months back..maybe a year even, but it was standard I think, just had intake and exhaust and she loved it lol was fairly quick too

As a back road car, the power is just right for me anyways and the quick spooling turbo helps a lot. With the recent upgrades it's quite a lot of fun and I have a fair idea what I want to get done for it next.
