  2. ​YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY JOINED THE WAITING LIST! You will be notified via email if selected to participate in the PC Closed Beta. ​I don't understand.

  4. Is this the email that they sent to people in French? I couldn't understand anything so off to the bin it went. :lol:
  5. Alpine White Long Beach Blue Mineral Gray Black Sapphire Metallic
  6. The GTS has water injection, specific tires, active aero, CFRP stuff and more importantly, FINE TUNING. What those tuning garages/companies do is just buy off-the-shelf products. I am not saying BMW and others don't buy parts from their suppliers (I've myself got OE Brembo brakes), but they don't spend many many laps hooning around race tracks and collecting data in labs like manufacturers do. I am surprised that's coming from you. P.S.: What may happen is that most of the hardware GTS stuff will be obtainable through reputable US BMW shops. This was the case with the E92 GTS when some had been able to source the GTS interior and exterior things. However, BMW has changed the process lately and if I recall, you won't have the chance to get the GTS stuff without the VIN of your car or something like that.
  7. My humble 1/24+ collection. I've got about one hundred small models in another cabinet, but they're not worth showing as almost of them are damaged. No more space than that but I don't mind. Quality > quantity
  8. Just realised I've missed already two Wednesday modules as I thought they were on Thursday.
  9. What the hell? Rollcage and seat harnesses are an option now? And they deleted the arm rest but left the heavy luxury stuff like iDrive and leather dashboard in the car? Apparently, it did the Ring in 7:28 which impressive but eh, that doesn't change the fact that the wing and Acid Orange trim is ricey. Doesn't fit the overall shape of the car. Previous GTS was in comparison to the F82 a sexy machine. :drool:
  10. Generic UK mate tesco stance is the wuuuurst; maybe on par with ze Germans who have developed a fetish in weird rims. On a more serious note: get some matched shocks and springs (Bilstein's B12 comes to mind, dunno if there is one for your Miata). DO NOT BUY CHEAP COILOVERS. BTW, how many scene points, Cal?
  11. BMW M2 spotted in Long Beach Blue. Production car will be revealed this month. Front end looks a bit too much busy, but it's got nice hips tho. RWD, 6MT & DCT, circa 360hp (engine from the X4 M40i). MB GL-class facelift (--> GLS) Audi R8 LM. Powered by the R8 LMX's 570PS V10. It's a Canada-only limitied run of the first-gen R8 - eight cars in total will be made. Why are they still making old R8's? :confused:
  12. I know nothing about the new Tesla yet, but I hope that the doors have sensors that prevent damaging other people's cars. Looks dangerous. :eek:
  13. List updated - incl. Cayman GT4 and '70 Boss 302 that you guys haven't not mentioned, but not the few new vehicles from the video above. Somebody can make screenshots. By the way Diabs, the BMW 2 Series in the video is not just some 2 Series. It is the M2 that the world has not seen yet. Confirmed by a BMW employee on a bimmer forum.
