General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?
« on: 07 March 2026, 22:14:55 ».B58 lump as fitted to M240i/M340i is probably one of the best engines made.
3 litre straight 6 with loads of top end power and 'stump pulling' torque at the bottom end.
My actual car made 445 bhp and 475 lb ft of twist when strapped to the dyno at Viezu. BMW quote a very conservative 369BHP and 369 lb ft of torque.
Yes, I reckon this engine in the 5 series estate, wither this one or the last one, probably makes for one of the best all round family cars money could but. I loved my m140i hugely - when it was working, and the 335d was no slouch either
To be fair my car is not quite stock.
A used £20 JB+ from Ebay gives something like an extra 4PSI of boost.....and she has always been run on 99 octane petrol.
I never made any attempt to 'run the car in' like days of old.....full boot from day one.I've been told that cars treated like this tend to produce more power. Perhaps it's true.
Well there is an opinion that full boost while running in helps the piston rings seal better, if it’s true or not I don’t know🐣

« on: 26 February 2026, 17:14:56 »And whilst ranting about Cisco - it's a daily chore in my professional life - their useless crap servers....Jesus! What the hell does all that mean? I could understand Swahili better😵💫. Anyway I don’t like that or them either 👍
Like all server manufacturers, they provide an out of band management capability, provided in Cisco's case by what they call Cisco Integrated Management Console, or CIMC. And it goes non responsive all the time. It has a watchdog timer to restart it should it go unresponsive, but apparently that runs from the CIMC itself, and therefore goes unresponsive itself at the same time. Cisco's solution, rather than fix the bloody shit? Suggest we do a 260 mile round trip to pull the power cables out for 2 minutes. The irony of having to do that to fix out of band management is lost on them.
I mean, when was the last time you saw an HPE iLO of Dell iDRAC lock up? I'm guessing never.

Get a tiger between you, it will deter domestic cats and dogs of all breeds from depositing faecal matter randomly around your gardens, mm.. thinking about it that could be a bigger problem as it would probably defecate at a greater magnitude and who’s going to stop it🐯🐯

It was only a matter of time and he’s now had plenty to hide most of the real incriminating material I dare say.
