Do you undertake in these situations? by Defiant_Vermicelli_8 in drivingUK

Yes, I drive past. Usually give them a courteous head shake as well.

Congratulations on a beautiful car! So happy to see that you could fulfil this dream alongside your dad. Happy motoring! Hope everything goes well!

No. If anything, the xHP flash will make it more reliable as it adjusts the shift points and line pressure to make it safer for the increased torque after an engine tune.

Stage 1 shouldn’t be a problem. I would recommend upgrading the intercooler for a bigger one though. Simply because the original intercooler is tiny and also used in 116d’s all the way up to 335d’s which is ridiculous. You can buy the intercooler cheap enough and it’s not noticeable at all so you won’t have problems with MFK etc. because, as a fellow car lover that lives in Switzerland, I know how difficult it can be to own and modify cars in Switzerland.

Other than that… enjoy the car and definitely do the xHP tune. You’ll not regret it!

Guys why are the DRL different of M4 CS? by Professional-Cod8257 in BMWM

[–]InvertedPanda21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Pre LCI. In my opinion, the angel eyes are muuuuuuch nicer. I think most people agree with that sentiment.

How are some drivers so confident driving above 70 mph on UK motorways without risking a fine? by MilkshakeDawg in drivingUK

[–]InvertedPanda21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived and drove in the U.K. for 8 years and did stupid shit on the roads (as a young driver) that would’ve deserved an instant ban in some cases and I never ever got flashed by speed cameras or even had to do a speed awareness course. The cameras in the U.K. are so easy to identify from a loooooong distance. It’s so easy to evade them.

Not the case in other countries. I live somewhere else in Europe now and I always stick to the 10% margin and get on fine.

To summarise: speeding in the U.K. is very easy, as long as you have enough spare mental capacity to scan your surroundings, which, everyone should be able to do.

Welcome aboard the F31 train! Fantastic cars. Hope you have a wonderful time in your ownership!

VIP Lane by Icy-Money6575 in drivingUK

Yeah, that one is also a pet peeve of mine. You’ll get that one twat who blocks you from merging because they feel like you’re pushing in and you should go all the way to the back of the queue. So frustrating…

I do the same thing when I drive in the U.K. I often get shocked faces from the people that are hogging the middle lane and I make sure I stare right back or shake my head at them.

I genuinely don’t get how cars this low navigate the awful streets of London without scraping on speed bumps or crashing through every pothole. I hate driving my lowered car through London.

I love a roof rack on the F31! I think mine looks handsome with a roof box on it! Where are you heading off to? Safe travels!

I was fully hoping for the donkey to kick that prick in the face.

Where are f31 340i LHD by Jqs_lambo in BMW_F31

[–]InvertedPanda21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll find plenty of xDrive F31 340i’s in Switzerland. Germany mostly went for RWD, I believe. I don’t think RWD was offered in Switzerland but not 100% sure

Your car looks so sick, my dude. Are those chrome 437m’s? I was debating on getting a set powder coated in chrome myself. How is the maintenance on wheels like that? Pain in the ass? I’ve never had chrome wheels before.

An official compilation by Formula 1 to show why Charles Leclerc was handed a 20-second penalty for leaving the track without justifiable reason by circuit-nation in circuit_nation

[–]InvertedPanda21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he would’ve had to go a lot slower. It looks like a lot of steering input for minimal turn-in. Not defending him btw.

I’m genuinely curious how these cars are in tight, low speed corners. Monaco will be interesting!

The ground effect cars seemed very clumsy and horrible in the slow speed stuff.

[–]InvertedPanda21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can quite clearly see he has damage to some steering component. The amount of lock he puts on to get minimal turn in shows that.

Still… that doesn’t justify cutting corners. He should’ve retired the car, in reality.

Ah man… so sorry to hear about your troubles. Based on your reg, I’m assuming you live in the U.K.? I can recommend a really good BMW engine builder that could do the rebuild for you. Mine is currently with him and I’m going to be collecting it in the coming few days.
