Its actually a matter of taste

For me i'm a NA lover and Turbo's are

don't get me wrong Turbo's are great but i don't know i just like the feel of NA. The smoothness etc

the standard 3 litre engine can be tuned to make 280+ or in some cases even more with just a few mods

the 335i can easily do 380hp if im not mistaken just by upping the boost

the n53 in the 530i produced 272hp stock just imagine when tuned

of course can la

welcome

yeah i think he means e36

better intake, ITB's, stroker kit are some of the things that can be done to the engine to gain more HP, natural aspirated horsepower that is

well i read BMW's article on why the new engine was made and apparently the design is similar to to that of the s52 engine of which is in the m3

they share the same crankshaft and few other parts, i'm still reading it

The time to change my tires is fast approaching and to change all 4 tires with new runflats would be pricey, so guys any of you using standard tires(non rft) on your car?


tires are

front 235/40zr18

rear 245/40r18

so how drastic was the change when u switched to normal tires, in terms of comfort and road noise?

which 3 series?

I'm assuming e46 because its 10 years old now.

318i,320i,325,328i,330i? which one is ur friend selling?

anyway guys can recommend a good tire brand for my e60 530i?

not gonna go for Runflat tires again cost they cost a bomb and apparently they have rubbish comfort


my tire size is

front 235/40zr18

rear 245/40r18

any brand recommendations and pricing?

hmm i'm pretty sure they have solved the hpfp issues.

hmmm it seems the 528i is the last 3 liter naturally aspirated engine they provide in the f10


anyway i have a e60 530i

Hey guys, any of u have headlights that are becoming slightly dirty/foggy? mine are :/

i heard about a product from turtlewax called headlight lens restorer but i can't seem to find em anywhere...i used to see em in tesco now they have been replaced by waxco...which is pretty rubbish





so guys if u have any idea where to get em in penang or anywhere...please tell

thanks

a fellow bmw owner gave a tutorial on how to clean em, but he had more stuff and experience, i frankly think im better of with the turtlewax kit...

wow i've been away from this thread for quite some time.

I have no idea on the brand

i brought my car to a shop called canny cool

Changed my 5iver's tires not to long ago to Dunlop sport LM703 tires filled with Nitrogen

235/40r18 front

245/45r18 rear


car has done almost 900km ( to and fro pg-kl ) and even tried a little "fast" driving on windy mountain roads and i come to report that they are really worth it.
The grip is excellent and the grip in the rain is good

Ditched the original Run flat tires for this lm703 and i have no regrets or at least so far

shop quoted me rm1.8k for ONE RFT tire, changed all my tires with lm703 for only rm2.7k

Bought new rims for my 5iver

Thank you

Just fitted em this morning, here it is

welcome aboard

any pics of your e30?

your welcome

Very clean looking car you got there mate although i don't know if its the camera but i think you should polish your headlights, they seem to have oxidation on them =O

my previous rims are still here, why you want em?
