That's funny I'm actually in the market for some new rear tyres. Think I'm gonna go 255's and Toyo R888 Semi Slicks. Gotta get those slicks on for the methanol injection.

The R8 was the slowest, but even the F6 we will spank with a tune only. Add dps and you will probably add another car length or two
I had an interesting run against a GT-P, got him over 2 car lengths on Freeway and in built up area from lights. Had a chat to him after the race and he couldn't believe the difference in the N54 with a Tune as he mentioned he had raced a stock N54 and won.. He had to pull me up to confirm my car wasn't stock to put his mind at ease! On the hunt for an F6 now

Keep us posted with your progress on the methanol injection kit. Seems like the second best bang for your buck mod. Have you taken your car down the quarter mile yet? I'm curious to see what times you're putting down with your current setup.

Lucky his GT-P wasn't supercharged On the street a tuned N54 will take care of most cars and with it's low end torque I've never had a problem against anything from a dig.

You're 325i looks sweet, very tasteful mods I haven't encountered an M5 or M6 yet but I've come across some videos on youtube. The higher the speeds you go to the more mods you will need, even a tune + FBO + meth isn't enough... there is no replacement for displacement!

You guys are so lucky to be getting so much track time. I mean, with all this racing, you are doing it on a track, right?

Thanks.

At speeds likely to be encountered in Australia (maybe up to 120 or 140) it's good to know that my future N54 can school the M divisions more exxy cars
