My M235i has undergone a Birds B2 - 3.5 400bhp conversion since last year's tours.

The adaptive suspension has been replaced with fixed tuned Bilstein dampers, eibach springs and H & R antiroll bars. A Quaife mechanical LSD has been fitted and Birds and Quantum have used the car to develop an ECU remap that raises power from 321bhp to 400bhp and torque is raised from 450Nm to 600Nm.

As Walter Rohrl reportedly said "Your car has just enough power when you look at it in the morning and are afraid to unlock it" :-)

Okay Internet boffins - how do I get the photo into the post rather than a link to it?

You need to get the source file, which ends in (for example) a .jpg - and then add the image tags, kinda like this:

Uncle Paul, look forward to seeing this beast shift.

It was never slow in standard form!
