Rolling Road day - interested??? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

After last weekends Sussex meet a few of us expressed an interest for a rolling road session.
If so im attending a RR this Saturday Nr Crawley/M23 (Austec racing) and if theyre any good i think this could be a suitable place as they are only 10 mins off the M25.
If my memory tells me correctly i think its approx 30 quid a car but i will report back after this weekend.
Anybody else interested?

Pete.

having a direct comparison of a load of M5's would be wicked to see - I have just put mine on the rolling road at Bexleys recently, but depending on when this is, I may be interested.

Not the one mentioned above - but Bexley Motor Works is not far. That's where I just had mine done. Cost £40 but I'm sure if there was a load of us and were paying cash we might be able to get a group discount.

So how many ponies is your motor making then, how was it?

It made 318bhp and 320lb/ft....
They reckonned it was running slightly lean at approx 13:1 afr but afaic this is ok for a N/A car....
Going to get the injectors cleaned next as i have a Lucas agent locally - there was abit of black smoke on full bore so i reckon possibly the spray pattern of the injectors is not ideal as the car is obviously not burning all the fuel for some reason and yet the AFR is not rich.
