Wasn't a fan of the M3 but I like this. (I did go to E38 so maybe I'm still infected :P )

Indicated rpm is out. My feet always rip the underdash panels off. So just take them out of all my cars.

I saw this on Sunday morning when I was coming back from Southampton, you were behind a low Beetle, about to turn off at a junction.
I wanted a proper look but I was chipping it in the 3rd lane.

Some great idea for a convoy. 3 bmws with over 1000bhp between them being led by an aircooled beetle at a top speed of 54mph. Nearly nodded off a few times

Am sure you can get a pcb plug in for the dash clocks to adjust the rpm

Not my cup of tea (personal taste) but appreciate the effort that has gone into it.

Black/silver numberplate is just begging for a pull from the police. Just be a bit wary as I know some police forces are getting hot on 'stretched' tyres. Check out this thread on Pepipoo - to be fair probably falsely accused given his minimal stretch.

Plate is just a fine. Plead ignorance as long as I can get away with it. The stretch is fairly minimal (within manufacturers recommend limits) but wider tires are coming for a "square" sidewall (need the grip)
