Sorry for all the issues, but must feel great knowing it's sorted.....

The bike and the 125i looking good...., soon your SO will be trying a track day in that 125i lol.

 

[Dewald Basson]

She did enjoy the one/two she attended with me last year. But I highly doubt she will take the 125 to the track, I however pretty sure she is keen to track the e46 :roflol:. She just needs to get over "what if it goes wrong" fear.

 

[ZaynM]

Great work, and congrats on the 125.

 

[Gordvisr]

that 125i looking good, nice mileage too, she wont regret it.

The BMW received some attention in preparation for its run to Durban next weekend.

Oil change, spark plug change, new Shifter & boot, front disks(warped from the track days:hammerhead. I decided to tint the headlights to see what it would look like. I am liking it, so it will remain on for the time being.

Had a good run to Cullinan, yesterday. And decided to attend the Alfa Clubs Dyno Day at FR&R today. Car seems healthy which is always good to know :rollsmile:

In the queue at the Dyno, only other BMW present was a beautiful orange 2002ti

I like the tinted front lights bro!

Awesome thread. Definitely enjoying that e46 to the fullest raise:

Those are strong figures, my 330i makes 138kW on their dyno so in comparison to stock flywheel figures, your 325i is strong.

We always said this car made excellent numbers. Good to see that good maintenance and some track driving keeps it there.

Those tinted lights look menacing.

It does seem like a Wednesday motor, last time(4 years ago) I had on their dyno at the old shop it also made "power" than the stock figures suggest. Since then the only "power mods" has been mid cat removal and vanos seals.

Only time is "under performed" as at the Fanatics dyno day where Firi's water pump broke. I can't remember the tune shops name, "H" something.

And they don't effect the lighting at night much it is barely noticeable. I do want to get those one a set of these LINK

An silver Audi a3 knocked me off my bike this afternoon. And just f #%$ed off, he did not even stop to check if I was o.k.

We stopped due to a queue at a fourway stop and as I moved over to pass he decide to use the side road, turning to his right and into me. After he had basically stopped behind the car in front. I got thrown off the back of the bike onto my back and arse. Bike fell to its left. I must have pulled the throttle open once I got hit, hence why I when of the back of the bike as the front lifted.

Boots saved my left angle, it got stuck between the car and the bike briefly. Xkulcha gear saved my skin. My left side from arse to neck is sore. My head did not hit the road fortunately, not a single scratch on my helmet.

Bike still rides has a bit of damage, now the fun of insurance etc. :hammerhead:

Had to tape a thick allen key to my shifter as it broke when the bike fell over. So I could ride home.
Handle bar is bent, front mud gaurd has damage, engine cover got damaged, and the end piece of the bar end mirrors.
