Another black 997 Turbo today, 2 in 2 days :cool:
A few nice spots in the last day or so.
Yesterday, a lovely silver 911 Carerra on the M50 just past Dundrum. 06 Cooper S Works GP in Dundrum business park.
Today, 08 E92 M3 Silverstone heading onto M50 southbound at Blanch & a '03 Silver Grey E46 6 pot on the M50 northbound:cool:
I think they look great, and you're dead right, they are a closer size to the E36. I think the 3/4 series have just gotten bigger and bigger, they had to bring in something of that size, it was getting daft.Quote:

I think the petrol equivalent still to this day holds more bhp over the diesel and with new petrol bmws being turbo'd now there should be no issue getting more from them if needed [emoji41]
Good point. Actually are there any petrol variants left in the BMW range today that are NA?Quote:

But for anything bigger id still go petrol there very economical these days sound fantastic and have less to go wrong
If you want torque buy a massey ferguson [emoji1][emoji1]
The 335i and 335d are very evenly matched though
