I can recommend the Caol Isla, very enjoyable.

14mins, could do, training days are early start and finish, usually done by 2pm :)

I know, if he hadn't custom fitted it on to the car I wouldn't have been sure whether to fit it on the car or hang it on the wall :) Pure artwork
I have two weeks training at Cockfosters next week so will be commuting through the Blackwall Tunnel expect some audio clips soon :D -
New custom exhaust on the E30 3.5 not only sounds better but has really opened it up at the top rev range without losing lower torque :D Kevin at Zero Exhausts in Bethersden is an artist really worth the travel and wait if you need any exhaust work done
One pic of the old shitty manifold that used to hit the steering column before I came up with a Rover V8 engine mount option using aluminium spacers to keep stack height to original -
@Colm89 Depends if you wanted an s50 (e36 m3) or s54 (e46 m3) engined car. The latter would be quite a bit more expensive. Munich legends had a few when I was there, I think in the region of £60k. That's not far off M3 CSL money, If you are buying a car to drive, and don't want to worry about putting miles up on an appreciating classic, I'd look at the z4 3.0si coupe. Or z4m coupe. z3m's and CSL's are probably overpriced these days.<
@Danstuff Semi-trailing arm rear suspension from the old widow-maker E30?<
@Dammit As Danstuff says rear axle beam same as the E30, some early ones didn't even have DSC for proper sideways fun

Love them but go for fortunes now.

The lower the octane of the fuel the more of said fuel the car will use.
Citation needed. Generally speaking lower octane fuels have a higher calorific value, but are more inclined to detonation. Unless your car's ECU has knock detection, and backs off the ignition timing significantly with lower octane fuel, it won't affect consumption rates. However, it may well up limiting maximum boost in an engine with knock detection and turbos.
Pretty much that, the higher the octane rating the higher the temperature before pre-ignition (Knocking/Pinking) will occur. Most modern cars ECU's will continually advance ignition timing to an optimum level until knock sensors pick up any knocking occurring then back it off a bit, so cheaper lower octane fuel will allow knocking earlier ergo, timing retarded earlier resulting in lower performance and slightly higher consumption
Which drains were blocked?
There was a Quality Enhancement to remove the drain grommets in the left and right plenum chamber so that it was a straight through hole that could not get blocked. Might be worth a phone call to BMW if they had not been removed
