Driving my BMW 130i E87 on Track at Hampton Downs

[@Krezo200]

Good job using gran turismo music! I did the same with my videos

[@Vikturus22]

I thought I recognised it!

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@Vikturus22 yesss good music

[@The_Noticer.]

man, Enkei RPF1 rims suit the cl9/cl7 so well. great choice.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah it looks nice

[@ysanoo97]

Clean EuroR! Looks like you had some trouble keeping up with it even in the straights. Good video tho 👌🏽

[@KiwiCarLife]

I think a lot of it was he was one gear lower than me, he did have some mods too so was making more power than stock. But yeah they’re quick cars!

[@KavinFan0803]

What brake pad are you using? Did you run into any brake overheating issues

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nah none whatsoever. Just repco pads

[@GandhiBeatz]

Nostalgia seeing that Euro R. Wish old Kiwi Channel comes back with modding some 'old japanese family sedan'

[@KiwiCarLife]

Everyone wants me to mod an accord, already done it! I’m moving on to new stuff

[@GandhiBeatz]

@@KiwiCarLife you are free to do what you want. But I think most of Honda guys are haters of bmw, like me. So its tough period for us on your channel.. waiting for a moment when the old Kiwi comes back. There are lot of ideas in modding Hondas, not particulary an Accord, like k20 swapping some lightweight Honda thats has daily usage advantage, or awd swap, or similar, but thats up to you. Good project would be a test how much k20 or k24 holds of power without turbo

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@GandhiBeatz well I think you need to open your eyes to new stuff. Honda is great but the platforms have their limitations. I don’t have any interest in doing an AWD or engine swap that’s just a massive money pit project. I don’t earn enough from KZbin to justify it. You need to drive some BMW’s and I think you’ll change your mind. In the same way Honda haters say they’re gutless cars limmi bashing at 3am, BMW haters say they’re unreliable piles of junk. Couldn’t be further from the truth! But I appreciate your advice. I cannot justify spending 20k+ on one of those turbo/awd/engine swapped builds you suggested. It is financial suicide for someone my age

[@GandhiBeatz]

Appreciate your effort. Try doing some Honda stuff so you will earn some money from youtube. :) but to be honest, most of your subscribers are Honda fans, and a proof for that is your last video about Accord turbo, more views than your older videos. Accept it or not but Honda content is what made your channel popular, so you cannot just skip it and say I want to do a new stuff, despite the fact your audience is not interesed in it. Try doing some poll if you care about it. But I think KZbin is more like a hobby for you, and not your main source of income, and it seems like your channel is based on that. As soon as you're having fun doing it - you've reached your goal, despite the facts about views or comments. So it makes sense for me in that way and I like your natufe not falling under the pressure. Keep doing your thing.

Is this the club circuit? I've only driven on the national circuit

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah club

[@Will0w_Th3rianPawzz]

Where the DIY maintenance series? Fixing all the oil leaks?

[@KiwiCarLife]

I would if it had things that needed fixing but it’s been bulletproof

[@ianchan9421]

Aw man the Gran Turismo 4 menu music is pure nostalgia!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yesssss good beats

[@spadgm]

Nice Episode!, some great track action there!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks man!

[@danmurphy5889]

Another great vid, another day wearing shorts. i don't think I've seen you wear any pants mate, and let's be fair, NZ ain't the warmest of places 🤣

[@KiwiCarLife]

HAHA yes I basically only wear shorts

[@felixchetlanddevries2998]

Have you done highlands?

[@KiwiCarLife]

I haven’t that’s the one I haven’t yet done

[@felixchetlanddevries2998]

@KiwiCarLife its good fun, gonna be there this weekend

[@thatguyben3128]

_great footage and thanks for all the effort you and the guys put into making these vids 👏🏼👏🏼_

[@KiwiCarLife]

All good man! Glad you enjoy it

[@sleepercell9926]

Have you got LED angel eye sidelights on that car or are they just white standard bulbs. Can’t tell on the camera

[@KiwiCarLife]

LED’s yeah

[@GoffyTv]

Great video dude! The one series is a superb car alright. Not that i am biased!! well done mate!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks man! Yeah it goes well!

[@Hybrid330i]

Welcome to BMW life, just quitely getting on with it. Youre discovering what makes them such great vehicles for many reasons.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Absolutely man, getting a lot of hate from my current Honda fanbase but I'm glad you understand. These are fantastic cars

[@Hybrid330i]

@@KiwiCarLife Never got the car tribalism thing myself. Have been working on BMWs for many years and have my own e30/s50b32 machine. But I love all types of cars. They all have their place.

[@Alkhoholic]

Nice! You guys need to come to the HD national circuit next time. Track is bigger and more fun 😅

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah for sure I’ll be back

[@08CL9]

Unfortunately Auto Addict was on the same time so National Circuit wasn't open for HD Auto.

[@Alkhoholic]

@08CL9 you need to register for full throttle not the club circuit. The only difference for full throttle is it only runs for half day, that's x3 15mins session but on the national track

[@08CL9]

@Alkhoholic yeah I'm well aware of how it works I've done plenty of days on the full track but like I said it wasn't available on this occasion due to other events happening on the national circuit. Thanks though 👍

[@Alkhoholic]

@08CL9 @08CL9 that's weird coz we were there! I was looking for Liam then but I saw another Liam (Liam Lawson) 🤣 come to find out you guys were in the club circuit. Maybe it was fully booked then, and Auto Addict I think is the name of the whole day event, it covers club circuit, full throttle, drifting in the skid pan, show and shine (caffeine and gasoline). But anyway hope to see you guys next time (hopefully in the national circuit for more fun and epic contests)😄
