Hi Andy,

Apart from the TT itself, we also meet up often during the day for lunch and etc. Which part of JB are you from ? Let us know and we'll catch up one of these days soon!

Cheers
VaN.

Regards

Hi vanquish,

I already tried the M3 in melody,this morning but it is an manual car i prefer an SMG II M3 with auto n manual gear box any one have lobang pls contact me.Also pls PM me you guys contact so that we can meet.TQ.

Okay, we'll let you know if we come across one. In fact, there are more SMG M3s for sale these days compared to traditional manuals. Anyway, SMG or manual - it's a personal choice. I've tried a 325i Sports with SMG and apart from full-bore / spirited driving gear changes, the gearbox is a bit too clunky for me during normal driving and in the city. The 7-speed SMG III as found in the new E60 M5 comes close to perfection from what I've read. Anyway, it's not really an auto + manual gear box in a single chassis but it's essentially an automated manual transmission that also has the ability to perform like a fully automatic transmission despite having done away with the traditional torque converter and planetary gear setup.

P/S - Please check the history of the early batch E46 M3s if you're buying one as they were prone to the infamous crankshaft-bearing problems which was resolved by BMW in the later batch cars. The straight-six S54 engine is a brilliant piece of engineering work but being at the end of it's development life, it is far from perfect. Fine one that's not been abused and well looked after for your peace of mind and hassle-free motoring.

Cheers,
VaN.

Vladd,

Why do you think we hardly even call you out for lunches or tea in the 1st place ? Being ugly is one thing but being BUTT-UGLY is just plain repulsive!

VaN.

No problem in posting up the coming TT details but first of all, WHERE SHOULD WE HAVE IT ???
I think we better don't show up at Danga Bay again for the time being...

 

[Vanquish]

Yeah,

Danga Bay is definitely out for now. But you know what, perhaps this will give us a chance to go round the town a wee bit and let ourselves become a bit more visible, me thinks! Sitting down week in and week out at Danga chatting and eating is making us lazy, bored and uninterested to show up for TT. Initial was talking about this as were a few non forum members just a few days back. I think it's time we take the show onto the road.

Plus, I'm still waiting for someone to step up and say AYE to our much delayed Paint-Ball Event and Go-Kart Day! Anyone ????

Cheers,
VaN.

 

[roland1888]

Cool idea, Singh. Why not we just meet up at one place, go convoying around town, before having TT at one place? Hmm.... maybe we should invite the stunt- man to perform drifitng once we have settled down at the restaurant just to entertain the crowd? *cabutz*

I vote for Go-Kart Day as me think we can get more participants compared to Paint Ball.

Okay ... let's just say that we've got enough interest for the Kart-Day, how many folks are really keen ? I need some numbers before I can go discuss pricing and etc with the kart centre at Permas.

As for inviting the now infamous stunt-man of the JB Chapter, I don't think people wud actually get any kick in watching a hare-brained moron trying his level best to drift and burn rubber in his E39 with the DSC cutting in and making him look like a bigger idiot than he already is !!!

BTW, I am NOT a Singh la! Stop mixing with Vladd too much !

Cheers,
VaN.

Hi brothers here,is it really that SMG II gearbox of M3 having alot of problems??Pls give some advise TQ.

 

[Vanquish]

Twinkle,

Can you please elaborate what sorta problem are you facing with your SMG II tranny ? Yes, it's no big secret that both the Alfa Selespeed and the SMG II have their own gremlins / faults - it'll be good to be specific instead of making general comments, bro.

Thanks,
VaN.
