[Supras] Lapmaster - lapping and 335i

[Gary H]

That lapmaster link didn't come out too well.
Which one did you order? I'd like to order one as well
since my block and head needs to be lapped.

On a different subject, what do you guys think of the new
BMW 335i? I'm really tempted to buy one...

Gary
