How are you!?

So your the monster power M5 owner! Yes I am just making sure those figures are correct.

What happened to your wide body evil looking M3?
Greetings!

Fine thanks. You?

Yes, the M5 performed well but I shan't take the figures as gospel.

Sold the ACS to a member of another forum. I still see it though as we attend track days together.

Cheers,
Michael

I do not claim to be an expert vis the E34 M5 but I believe that a Supersprint de-cat and rear box would release a few extra bhp and a tad more torque. You'll also benefit from the weight reduction!

Have you seen the Total BMW (can't remember the edition) rr day involving these cars? Some interesting results.

Cheers,
Michael
you can say he's goin for weight reduction.. the engine is on its way into an e30 lol

Except the welsh boyos!!

Me, Steve and Scott attended 2 rolling road days last year, and drove probably 2 and a half hours..more for Scott, both times.

What I would like to see is an E30zone meet, only once or maybe twice a year, where we can pick a venue and get together, but this will never happen, because like you say Pete, not everyone will be happy with the location, but that's the point Scott is making, I would be happy to make the effort to make the trip where ever, and so would the rest of us in Wales, and that also goes for the northern guys too, they don't mind making the trip either!

i agree simon, the northern lads don't seem to be fussy and from what i have seen of the welsh lads, they don't seem to be fussy either...bloody southerners. :?

No doubt some people are busy, washing hair etc, but if a meet is planned well in advance then surely hair can be washed the evening before? :lol:

This is more a question for Russ. The Northern Hairdresser!
