Why? You aren't happy with the Trumpet?
Of course I'm happy with the Trumpet, I just figure that in two to three years I'll be ready to try something different while I'm still able...variety is the spice of life ya know... |

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That article is a bit sugar coated if you ask me. The standard trans 540i is a bit rare and quite a fine car but it takes a bit more maintenance to keep it up than the six cylinder E39's. Consider that the newest E39 is still 12 years old at this time. I can get into more later. Off to work now. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I'm going to try for sometime next week, but may not be able to because of the holiday...I've got autocross on the 4th so there's really no rush, though I won't be riding on wet roads with the SuperCorsas in the meantime as the front is almost like a slick... |

I guess by the time I get back you'll have a pretty good idea about how you like them.

Had the Q3s mounted up at SS this morning. Initial impressions on the short ride home...bike tips in more readily than with the SPs. This could be the new tires, or the result of slightly squared stockers, or about 5 psi of air more from the shop than I usually run, or a combination of all three...we shall see...
