We had a run together and was very quick, I pulled away which I suppose is still good for the Coupe as the 123d had around 100lb/ft more and not a lot less power, considering the S50 is reputed to be more like 290-300bhp.
        I think the 123d engine is the one used in the Alpina D3 Bi Turbo, alos apparently quite a nice car: if so, the 123d might be quite a nice proposition, esp if remapped as your friend's is. Interesting thought....

              Only so you can see us all drooling over the carbon airbox

              I've got a couple of busy weekends ahead, so either an evening meet or weekend towards the end of October would suit me best.

                Well I don't think I'll be seeing our 123d again... got rear-ended by a wagon on the motorway yesterday, resulting in a 360 spin across the carriageway, finally sliding the wheels sideways up a kerb which has borked wheel alignment and broken /bent suspension components.

                No idea how I didn't collect any other vehicles on the way - I'm putting it down to skill obviously, ha.

                Lucky to walk away from this one I think. Poor car though

                      Cheers Dave

                      Yes indeed Craig! First thing everybody's said is "Oh Christ, not your silver BMW?" (people still don't know what it is, ha)
