They are really nice looking wheels. Would look great on a lowered car.

Just reviving this thread, a thought occured to me, if building up a stronger v6 from scratch would using the 3.0 as a base with the knowledge of shared pistons (easy to get hold of forged items) would the 3.2 steel crank fit the 3.0 block ?
ie are the journels the same ? could it be machined ?

I had stop/start on a brand new diesel mini 2 years ago, it knocked the battery out in under a year, took 3 breakdowns before BMW would change it under warranty.
If it were my car i wouldnt use it, knocks the battery and starter motor out prematurely to save a minute amount of fuel.
BMW system does react pretty quick though, starts as soon as you touch the clutch pedal.
other than that, pants.

they are always banging on about speed kills. Inappropriate speed kills maybe, but not paying attention probably kills more.
80mph on the motorway is pretty sensible

A different breed these speed seekers. I met Richard noble at a function about 15 years ago, spent about 10'minutes talking to him, incredible character and either very brave or completely bonkers with no fear

Well still not sure abou the chassis, will dwell on it a bit
Need to get the rear end on and get a rolling chassis. I can start positioning the v6 and gearbox then
