  1. Well Jonathan i see you have been one off the lucky ones to have the privilege in seeing the car for real.Been to the factory too but wasn't here.So i was unlucky :mellow: . wish i had the kidneys too.lol :) Any one else wants to see it ,Its on youtube.:) Any know the rarest bmw on the road.???

  2. :) There all quick and only weighing around the ton or just under has a lot to do with it.With engines producing 240 bhp to over 600 bhp with the typhon :)Mine was the 340bhp weighing less than a mini :) .The speed 12 the daddy.Only one in the world thats been made road legel last time i heard.....Do bmw make anything so light .I know they make searious fast quality cars and built to last.,but power to weight ratio is a big issue .:)

  3. Hi Jonathan.Test drive a few of the modles befor buying,Have some free fun.The 5 series ive been told is more luxurious but im new to BMM and im well impressed and now hooked.You won't be disappointed and welcome to the club. :) :)

  4. Plus point though.Tight parking. :) Bad point.Expensive garage roof extension, plus a bmw trying to look like a mercedes gulwing.Yak..leave well alone.A bit chavy now these day.Take a lookin in any max power or fast car magazines.You will want a baseball cap on the back shelf to match.lol

  5. Hi Steve.I will try to explain... Superchargers pumps cold air for outside the vehicle and mixes with the fule before being forced into the cylinders.This way the colder the air the less the fule can expand, so more fule can be allowed in cylinders causing a bigger explosion and more bhp :)PLUS NO LAG....A turbo uses the hot exhaust gases and expands the fule before reaching the cylinders and keeps expanding in the cylinders.So you are limited to how much fule is aloud in the cylinders.So the colder the air the more fule can be forced in and more bhp :) .Thats why drag cars dont run turbos because of less bhp and that wounderful thing called turbo lag...Waiting for the turbo to spin up fast enough..And super charger costs around five thousand to be bolted on you engine and up which is the down side.So the colder the mixture the more fule can be forced in and more bhp.Now if you want serious power then nos is the way to go.But thats a different story all together and reliability is lost and big upgrades to the engine are need to be done. :mellow:.Well i've tryed my best to explain the best way i can and hope it helps.Im sure someone will come along and correct me somewhere.Cheers Symon.
