When I had my E46 M3 SMG, I took it to Star Performance on the RR - it was a combined BM and other owners RR day and polishy demo day. They managed to get 2 runs out it after putting socket extensions down the bonnet pin locating holes (It seems that the car is designed not to go at all if the bonnet is not located properly - which I can understand!!) Best way to try theory out is outside your house - try to drive with bonnet up and see what happens.
I had already had the car at 2 RR days with SXOC which I am also a member - and they both could not get the car to run which is really disappointing - this was before the day at Star.

Duncan has advised that the cables that are required to go under the bonnet are thin enough so that they can compress the sealing rubbers around the bonnet so your car can run with the bonnet down.
My E60 will flash a huge message up on the iDrive screen if you attempt to drive with the bonnet open. This happened on my test drive in the first E60. I hadn't shut the bonnet properly and got a warning message. The safety catch was on and it would never have been flung open but being German and safety conscious it warned me.
Just as a matter of interest, why are cables needed between the car and the RR? What are they picking up, engine rpms?

Hi,
Finally got round to joining and well up for a few power runs. Very interested to see what power my 140k M3 is putting out.
I'll be posting a few pics later on.

Oil Temp. You can't even measure the engine temp on an E60 from sitting in the drivers seat!
Sounds interesting, canne wait for a shot on it.

Certainly looks like I'll be home for this but seeing as
I'll have been on a fortnight earlier, I won't bother.
Might ask Duncan (Hypertech) if he'll sneak me on for a
cheeky run just to hear her again!  Will
see how busy it is on the day!

Why not just get your name down and come along, the more the merrier . 10 is the min number we need, NOT the max number.

Don't forget that filling the list was only step 1. I need money from all participants too please.
Tiko/Pardeep. 10 was the minimum to make the day viable for Hypertech. You guys are both welcome to stick down your money before Friday if you're up for it.
