I’m currently extremely hungry on knowledge about lubricants & motor oils. This may sound completely insane as most people don’t care about this at all but I found this a very interesting field of technology. I have read a whole lot of stuff on various forums and other sources on the net and thought it [...]

In my search for new rims for race use and merely cheap tires for them I found some almost new BMW M Double Spoke 208 18″ rims. These rims are more or less new, only ~500 KM old and so are the tires, no need to buy new tires in spring. These rims are originally [...]

The future is here…

After several years as a true friend our beloved “red lightning” (I would call it the red snail… (but don’t tell my girlfriend)) has ben sold today. Here is one of the last shots of it:

För ett tag sen fick jag tipps av en arbetskollega angående bilvård, tydligen skall trasorna från Biltrasan.se vara något alldeles extra bra när det gäller att torka av ens “ögonsten”. Så här står det på hemsidan: Tillhör du kategorin av bilägare som endast tvättar din bil för hand? Då är biltrasan något för dig! Har [...]

…to get an F1 racer on the famous Nordschleife again. The course was removed from the F1 schedule in 1976 due to a series of real cruel crashes. Nick Heidfeld drove 3 laps in a 2006 BMW F1 racer for a promotional event, see the video below:

Today “West Coast Racing” / “BMW Dealer Team” presented their new cars in Stockholm (Gamla Stan). Hopefully the 2007 season of STCC will be a more successful one and BMW will win the STCC championship 2007 as in 2005.

November war es endlich soweit, mein Verkäufer von „Olle Rutgersson Bilcentrum AB“ hat angerufen und mir mitgeteilt das der 1er jetzt endlich gekommen ist. Hab ja auch [...]

I got the honor to be the co-driver of my friend Jonas at the AutoMotorSport Trackday at Mantorp Park. This event was one of the best I took part of this year, the Mantorp Park raceway is located in the wonderful landscape of Östergötland and the weather was as perfect as it could be in [...]

Finally the time of thinking is over, a decision is made. I had a 116i once as a rental car and was not really impressed by its weak and thirsty engine, so I thought I have to give the 1-Series a second chance and test drive its more powerful brother the 120d. I played around [...]

…is sold! Still can’t believe that I did it but finally the head took over the heart and then I realized it is time to sell it. You maybe have read my thoughts about environmental cars earlier at my blog (http://aixpi.com/archives/2006/05/26/ar-etanol-framtiden/) so the next car should have an engine with low emissions and a better [...]
