    The greatest part about all the series you do is they're all different. A Miata that refuses to run, a luxury sedan to an offroader, a 400,000 mile restoration, and now a track wagon.

    With the times being that close, I'd like to see you do it without gutting the interior out. I fully believe it is possible. At the very least, save gutting it for a dead last attempt if you need to.

      OK plate story. I actually bought the plate about 10 years ago when I had a 350z. I didn't buy it to put on anything other than a V10 and I thought I'd work really hard and be able to afford a V10 (non BMW) like a CGT, LFA etc. Sadly testing tyres and making UA-cam videos doesn't actually pay much at all so I sellotaped it to this m3 so I didn't have to pay the £80 retention fee every year. One day I'll have that CGT...

    Guys... diesels are beasts. Today I while was walking to the bus stop I hear a huge roar. Based on the sound, I was looking for a straight piped 2 stroke motorcycle engine. After that I heard a huge roar again, but with a big cloud of black smoke exploding out of an older C class diesel Merc. Than it just launched itself into hyperspace. Guys near said, that it has a 52mm turbo with 33,5psi, and it's pushing about 700hp, and 1200Nm. What a beast. Love it

      Word Maestro I have an E46 M3. I don’t have brake fade on track days , but did wear out street pads in one day. I now have PFC 08 and have had 3 track days and they are almost like new. I know the E92 is heavier and it’s brakes can get hot. I was speaking to he said he had a flat out ABS malfunction. I think you can even see it on the cluster. That should not happen even if the brakes are getting hot.
