I wasn't gonna mention that. :mrgreen:

When all the 4-pot 2.0L MK2s get beaten I'll be convinced about 6-pot BMW power. :P

The discovery was posting incredible times - apparently the suspension alone was £35,000 :shock: sounds hard to believe but it was a pukka ex Paris Dakkar jobbie and the times show he was not only pedalling hard but had serious grip and go :mrgreen: He would have been helped by 4wd traction in places but still an incredible result. Big respect!

Simon - you should be convinced by BMW power - only one Mk2 beat us :P

We (and most of the field) had to use same approach sometimes! I guess it wouldn't have slowed him down as much :? maybe we should all jack our cars up :lol:

A new benchmark for the forum members to beat :wink:
What tyre pressures were you running in the end (hot or cold)? I usually set them to 25lbs (cold) if it's a cold day and 26lbs (cold) if it's warm, would be interested in Spaceman's suggestion?
Always look on the bright side of life :-)

Around 28 front 26 rear - quite a bit harder than I was running previously... but using wide tyres - 220/625/17s or 220/645/18s
