The LSD has had it's break in miles on mineral oil. The last few hundred were spent during a drifting day

So it was time for an oil change.
A nice opportunity to change to a Z3M finned diff cover as well.

@e30topless here goes!

I bought this staggered set of 'pinas a few days ago here at the zone

I thought matching them with a set of Toyo Proxes R1R's would be a good idea. Tyre sizes are 225/45/16 and 205/50/16.

I'm quite pleased with the stance. This is what a 60/60mm lowered pre-facelift (with M30 boat anchor) looks like...

I love it!

Wait until you see this baby in your rear view mirror

M-Tech 1 looks nice on a White Chromie!

Ha ha,
I'll never see that in my rear view mirror, i'll be driving it.

Bit the bullit; and tore apart a seat. Both rh bolsters needed some attention...

e30topless had carefully hidden some tissue in one of them - I'm not sure if I want to know what that had been used for before

I'm really happy with the final result.

The white chromie was put to the test last weekend.
I was invited for a road-trip with wheelmen.
And being with wheelmen means you're in good company. Both you and your car.

Tasty ingredients like Black Forest High Road (Schwarzwaldhochstrasse) and Route des CrÃªtes make a 100% fun guarantee.

Buckle up!

OK, now lets have the video without the music.

Less music more engine please.!

Haha...
Above video doesn't sport much engine sound. We were cruising around there with the 500SL steamboat amongst us; which isn't quite up to fast cornering anyway.

It's a real shame my co-driver didn't catch me and the M3 chasing a Porsche Turbo for some good 15 minutes on film. I'm afraid I would have been still cleaning my interior by now...

Only representative flic I have around is this one:

The e30/M30 with the BTB exhaust is quite a silent combination whilst normal driving.

What's the deal with this? I assume you have to inform the RDW and then what, they send an assessor to check it out?

I drove it there; and had it checked.
Took some good 45 minutes.
Engine and gearbox numbers are checked; and all standard tests (brake, emissions, ...) are performed. Also build quality was checked.
