I was told that the SE spec came in after the initial batch of cars - 3-6 months after launch. My first Z4 was registered in Aug 03 - it was not SE spec on the v5, yet all of the standard SE options were zero'd priced on the invoice and was informed they were standard on all UK 3.0l cars. I have how...

I was going to say, "don't ask me". :wink: P's One V3 didn't seem to want to play the itinerary even though it had an "itn" folder, as it didn't seem to have the menu option that lets you open them. I don't think it was just me being thick :dunce: - Dave couldn't find it either....

The problem with big events is the massive organisation it takes to get it rolling. I won't bore you, but it was just impractical for me to organise it this year without knowing for sure that I'd attract 120+ cars. I think we're very lucky.

Hi All, I needed to get a big number of cars (75+) to make this a) possible (to ensure a minimum guaranteed charity donation to Dunsfold), and b) worth the hard work to get up and running.

Adrian Flux and Privilege are the best for me by a country mile - z4m, 28, 7year no claims, come in at just over £900 with all the bells and whistles - the rest were all 2K+ on the comparison sites.

foam pads on, microfibre off.

Megs do good foam pads.

I like 2 out of the 3 different types of microfibre that halfords sell in a 3 pack. There's one that just feels 'wrong' for some reason - maybe I'm not using it for the right purpose.

The limiting performance factor for most road users is their own ability.

So if you're bored, maybe look at some advanced road lesson from the likes of http://www.cadence.co.uk/ or others that are advertised in the back of EVO etc .

a bit of a different perspective, I went from the z4 3.0 to z4 3.2. Whist the z4m is a better all round car than the 3.0l - it's not worth the extra I'm paying/paid over my old 3.0L IMO. Yes the power is amazing, but then the 3.0L was a capable engine as well and offered 90% of usable power as the M...
