I always use super in all my cars, but just wondered because on most performance cars they usually say use nothing except super.

The trim around the windows is shiney.

Cool thanks

I'm want an E92 more and more these days

Ditto.

The fuel filler cap says "use 95 - 98 RON fuel only".

What are the implications of using standard unleaded, and what if I use 99 RON fuel?

It makes a world of difference in my E92 M3. I've had to fill it on 95 as I couldn't find anything else. It was still 'quite fast'

but lost a big chunk of it's urgency, also the noise seemed a little muted. Guessing that was psychosomatic though.

I've found the best fuel - subjectively of course - is Tesco momentum 99. I'm getting around 22Mpg and that's in Central London...... I drive like a girl.

Lovely.

Respect to your Dad!

The UR Quattro is a legend.

...and the M3 is lovely - congrats.

I had no idea what high gloss shadowline was until now either

Just went and had a look and it does look quite good, a lot better than the dull grey plastic most cars have. Cheers!

You didn't happen to be driving down the M1 towards Nottingham today right?

You assume very wrong! A 19 inch wheel and tyre set from BMW is the wrong side of £3000.

Quite.

The 20s on our GT were a €3000 option. I'm sure they're even more from the Accessories catalogue..

No mate I never venture up those parts. The most north I go 99% of the time is Watford

Very very nice car

Cracking bit of kit that, congrats!

Sorry to hear about your old man, nice sentiment in the memories of his previous kit...

Looks like it's been styled to look like the M3 Edition (albeit they didn't do it in that colour). Are the E46 CS/CSL wheels the same as the Competition Pack alloys, or do they just look similar? Agree that it'd look even better on a set of those...
