Phil, keep us in the loop as that sounds a little strange - as you said, first thought would be poor quality fuel or contamination
I've had my 2003 running whilst it bieng hooked up to a Bosh mobile ECU GUI watching the adaptives in real time... didn't see any pinking. With the BMW management system able to fine tune each cylinder fire it shouldn't pink.
We've had two counts of bad news with Aero's today... Dad's Aero whilst out last week was hit by a WHOLE BRICK that dropped off a builders lorry!! Really clattered the passenger door and the rear wing... and currently I'm locked out of my boot due to a faulty rear latch mechanism!!
On the + side spoke to a Veyron owner today that has a Mk3 on order at the George & Dragon, Wargrave.. he was there with a small group of well healed Harley owners... it was an absolute blast and had a great time talking to them.. must have looked really funny to the rest of the pub.
I've hooked him up with TM just in case he's after a good pub day out when he gets it.
