Rolling road i fancy a shot of that. 25th hmm too close to my MOT, so i don't know. BUT, looking at the 2009 events list are we not haveing our own rolling road event? as i don't see anything on the list. If i had the choice, i'd rather do a rolling road at our own club meet than someone elses event. ------------- http://www.richardcurran.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/bmws/cunrik1024x768.jpg - My E36 323 pic1 |

Don't hold your breath, previous 2 attempts have FAILED! either due to names added to forum list then predictably pulling out when payment is required or the Rolling Road centre just doesn't reply to calls or emails (apparently). ------------- |

looking back it's been 3 years since our last RR day and if it hadn't been for personal reasons taking up so much of my time this year I would've endeavoured to organize an event of this type. it would be great to see you all appearing for the AGM next month to show your support and I will certainly make it my aim to set up a RR meet soley for beemers in 2009.  ------------- ///2000 E39 M5 Imola Red/// NO MORE una volta lei ha avuto l'italiano lei non andrà mai tedesco di nuovo haha |

I would be well up for that. I would be very interested to see how many horses I have lost. Remember the Top Gear Challange Italian cars for less than the price of a second hand Mondeo, that was interesting.
Awwww Why? Have they had automatic transmissions ruined on their rig? Or does the autobox hinder the way the rig works?
Why, are they to big for the rig, can't be to powerful if they are opening it up to M5's say. Or would they breakdown? Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

afaik they're the same thing, steptronic just allows you manual override of the automatic box (within reason) using buttons, paddles or a lever? |

Yes but AFAIK the reason they don't like auto boxes is because the car has to stay in 4th gear or something like that? That can be done using manual mode with the steptronic ------------- E39 530i Sport Aegean Blue Edition Saab 9-5T SE Estate E36 318i loon...sold E36 323i coupe...sold |

You are right but I don't think the steptronic automatic will let you pull off in 4th. 1st, 2nd and 3rd (for winter) but not 4th. Will try tomorrow.
