Nice, a stealthed out look then. I have a theme that I'm going for too, any pics of your car?

1st, 2nd, 3rd or tenth post I couldn't really give a s4it and no one likes a smart arse![/quote]

Typical forum drama lama.  You seem like such a pleasant Geordie ... oops Smoggie... opps Makem. 

Yeah about as pleasant as a Scottish BMW driver. As said no one likes a smart arse and you obviously think your smart but in fact you're just the arse!! And just because someone lives in a particular part of the country doesn't mean they were born in that place.

No pics yet of the non OEM setup as it's a work in progress - currently sitting on axle stands with no wheels and no front bumper. Getting some paintwork done and changing over to my summer wheels. When I get everything back together I'll stick some up.

Sounds like will be a nicely upgraded GTD - coming from the V8 M3, how come you didn't go for the GTI or R? I'm not sure I'd be bothered about changing exhausts on a 2.0 diesel myself.

With regards the ABT sound control, it certainly changes the noise! A friend has the diesel SQ5 which must use something similar as standard as that sounds great. Fake, but great!

Agree, oh and by the way I'm not Scottish, I'm South African ya tard  Seems like you are a Scott and BMW hater, congrats on bashing a new forum member, you must be the forum fool.

Be cool to see when it's done.

Good question Jim, without going into too much detail I was in a near fatal Motorcycle accident in November 2017, it has left me paralyzed in my left arm so can no longer drive a manual. Thought about the R but no point having a very capable car when I'm not so capable anymore, PS crash wasn't my fault I got hit head on while going round a corner at 60mph, 4 months in hospital.

The M3 has since been sold so I'm stuck with my Focus ST to sell now too.  M3 was my weekend fun car so had to go first. The Focus is being used by my mates to run me around, so that will go after delivery of the GTD.

Sounds nasty. I had sportsbikes some years ago, just looking at a Ducati Hyperstrada at the moment as got a lots of mates with adventure bikes so want something for a bit of fun and the odd blast to work.

Great bike that, I had a Honda CB1000R, loads of mods and remapped.

Not Scottish either you complete tool! BMW hater is a bit strong but in general it's usually complete w4nkers who drive them. And if I remember rightly your third or fourth post was slagging the forum off for not replying to you instantly. You sound like a total 🔔end

Sigh... there is no helping some people, I said it sounds like that you are a Scott and BMW hater, not that you are Scottish, apparently that was completely lost on you- Not surprised really  I give reading lessons on a Thursday, please be sure to attend.

As I can clearly remember I said "No Replies?" at that point my thread was read 121 Times, so logic (if you have any) goes to show that a fair few people read my post but without reply.  Next- I asked a question- "No Replies?" that's not slagging a forum off IMO, but oh noooooo Mr No Common sense went straight on the defensive and into attack mode.

There is only one bell end here Sir, and that would be you.

Good Day to you.....
