  1. Hmm, It's as per the official figures. It's away at the garage at the moment but seem to recall it was 2.1 bar front. 2.3 bar rear.
  2. Very interesting. Quite liked the section on tyres. Never seen anything like that before.
  3. Correct, they are not runflats. Tried the brake test today, no unusual noises. Didn't notice any movement in the wheel pull either though i suppose it may be easier to do when on a lift.
  4. Yes, all matching, all have medium tread, all are the original issue M3 specific tyres.
  5. Yes they do. Can't recall of the top of my head but possibly 225/255. Its also on 19's which isn't as good as the 18's apparently.
  6. Am going out tomorrow. Will give 2 and 3 a try. Not noticed any 'thumps' before but will test again. re No 2, you you mean the steering wheel? and do you mean in the towards and away direction? Thanks Tony.
  7. Hi, Done a few drives in my M3 now and have realised it is tramlining quite badly at speed. Had put it down to new car, different driver, my nerves etc at first but it's def an issue. Seems ok at legal speeds but if you ever need to go faster or are doing a swift overtake, the car seems to be all over the place. Note I am referring to bumpy North Yorkshire A and B roads. Not done a long motorway run in it yet so will have to see if it's also affected then too. Any common or known issues with these cars? It has the OE Conti sport M3 specific tyres on. Thanks
  8. Hmm, bit strange, they're on photobucket and linked.
  9. In addition. The M is a great usable car but still doing about 20K on motorways a year. It would be a waste to rack up such boring mileage on her.
  10. Thought i'd share some pics of my new motor.
  11. Hi, Last time I was at WIM I recall seeing a wall chart showing the tyre wear against performance drop off. Is there an online copy available or does anyone have the key figures? Thanks
  12. Got mine up for sale at the moment. Currently doing the agent ring round. I didn't bother ringing the agents that have 'arty' 'trendy' or 'humorous' shots. Give me traditional any day of the week.
