Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

And keep the horizon straight!

I've found my 50mm ain't great for cars, I'd like something a little wider, 30, 32 maybe.

Money though.

50 f/1.8s have gotten awful expensive, Nikon's always were. Canons not so much. I remember getting mine for ~€35-50 or there abouts. Now they're closer to 100+ :eek:

Not at all. If it was a hindrance, I wouldn't fit it to the car. The E90 chassis is great because everything is tucked up under the car and it has a perfectly flat underneath. The lowest parts are the jacking points at the front and rear.

I still want to run the car on air though

We are talking about the 406 right?

First time washing the car properly in months. Decided to de-badge the rear as well.

Would ye all stop buying E39 M-Sports will ye!

How will I ever get one :pac:

MortGoldman

Genuine M-Sport as well, its tidy! Nice spec too...full black leather, the chrome trim, cruise, digital dual climate, auto, front and rear parking sensors. Perfick!

Chris_Heilong

Can a Diesel really be an M sport?

MortGoldman

Obviously I don't view it as a sports car, to me, M-Sport means exterior aesthetic package only, seeing as how most M-Sport trim cars here seem to have absolutely no extras, or even leather based on what I found!

Foxhole Norman

M-Sport has a sports suspension setup too as far as I know. It may be a diesel but they're still nippy with 192hp and mountains of torque even before remaps!

GvidoR

Where's the sunroof, Mort? :P

Yes, because M sport a styling/features pack not a //M badge. M sport is not motorsport division.

Not even close sunshine :pac:

M-sport pack cars have mostly visual upgrades over the bog standard version. So 325Ci vs 325Ci Msport. Same engine, same running gear, same brakes, etc. M-sport does get stiffer suspension and lowered slightly, but the majority of upgrades are visual. M-sport front/rear bumpers, side-skirts, black headlining, sports seats, sports steering wheel, alloy wheel upgrade, etc etc. It's still the same car, just (factory) tarted up.

M3, M5 etc are a whole different animal altogether. 99% of parts on that car, from factory, are only fitted on that car. They don't get shared across the range (but a lot will fit).

For example - M3 alloys, M3 interior, steering wheel, etc can all be retrofitted to standard 3 series. With some messing you can even fit the M3 bumpers and bonnet.

Chris_Heilong

I get it now, just when people were mentioning M sport I just assumed they were talking about the super spec M cars.

Back on topic. Hope to be driving her again by Friday.
