Hi guys, thought I'd share my new wheels with you.
I'm keeping the Rallye and making it a full on track car now so I have another car I can make more progress on it.
Anyway the new car
It's a BMW 530d M-Sport Auto. Always wanted one for lazy driving about so thought I'd get one. Lol
Couple of Pics

Thanks guys, it is rather nippy. Wasnt cheap either but you only live once dont you.
Plans are to remap it to boost the power upto 270bhp and leave it as is 
Save for tyres aswell.... £240 a corner

The MV2s on the e60 are 8x18 all round, the 19's that come on them are staggered width though.
The e46 has staggered on the 17" sport wheels and all 18's

Nice car! Does it come with a bluetooth headset and shades you can only wear on an overcast day or do you win them in a tailgating contest?

Tailgating contest. And besides, it's got Bluetooth installed so no need for a headset. Lol
and yes, the indicators do work. I've used them. Lol

I heard indicators on BMWs are a £2000 optional extra!
Nice though, watch out for the swirlflaps if those engines still have that issue!

It's an extra mine has. Lol
and mine is the later engine with the plastic swirl flaps, but I'll still be removing them anyway.

Yep. Trackday in the Rallye this Friday will be the last for awhile. Till summer at least. Plan on doing some major work on it this spring. Might even start a project thread if anyone cares?

The S2000 is a better car, but the MX5 is more fun. The MX5 doesn't have much grip, it's light, no PAS or traction control, and it's not that powerful. You can test it's limits at 40 on the road, but you need to be on a track to get the best out of the S2000...
