The new daily car – BMW 320d E46
Unfortunately it comes the time to change my daily car. It was not my decision but due to the pollution stickers here in Spain my previous BMW 330 xD E46 didn’t have sticker so I’ve had to look for another one because I was not allowed to enter some cities. This was my 330 xD…
Huerto 2025
En este post iré subiendo el estado del huerto desde el momento en que lo planté hasta la recogida de las diferentes verduras. Este año he extendido un poco más la zona de huerto ya que quité las racholas que había en la derecha y así tiene un poco más de sitio. Plantado el viernes…

See you BMW M3 E36 – Hi BMW M3 E46

Trackday Calafat 16/02/2020 by Trackrat

Trackday Castelloli 01/11/2019 by Trackrat
This blog post will be a bit different from the other ones, in here I was planning to explain how was this trackday but I will not. I think that sometimes it’s better just to show it up than writing 2000 chars for nothing, I’ll just give you a short explanation of it. From…

How to mount Recaro Pole Position on BMW 335i E92 N54
I had a problem with the OEM seats of my 335i. They were electric and the sides got inflated with a button. The issue came with the balloons that are inside the seat because they were punctured so I could inflate them but after 3 curves they were already done. It was translated to be…
