$50 for 5l https://www.repco.co.nz/en/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/engine-oil/penrite-hpr-5-5w-40-5l-hpr05005/p/A1030655

And they're owned by Hankook apparently. Fronts won't get a new warrant anyway I don't think. I'm keeping the 17's and Pirelli's from the 328 also.

Nice wheels but I think I'll stick with 17's for the daily, just cheaper and easier. And I have way too many wheels as it is!

That is the absolutely perfect purpose and destination for this car which makes me happy.

lolwtf!?!

Remind me briefly, what have you done to achieve that?

Traps, times and terminals? 😁

Greatest BMW M car of all time... going from racing to...something else

But they didn't even mention the e36... 😮🤣🤣🤣 -
Yeah, much faster than I expected! I had a few people tell me I'd priced it too low but I didn't need it to hang around and very few people want a beat-up looking e36, regardless of the price. Whilst the new parts are worth hundreds (if not thousands) I got a good deal on most of it, learnt a heap whilst owning (and fixing) it, and it kept ~5k short distance km's off the M3. It's far from perfect and the price reflected that, I just hope the new owner gets as much value out of it that I did!

But did you watch the video? They're clearly inferior unless he made it up. That the manufacturer won't even certify timeserts is a pretty big negative for them.
-
That's crazy. Timeserts are clearly inferior. And they look like a PITA to use compared to Helicoils.

And it wasn't available to me! 🤔😧 Hell yes, a known quantity would save a lot of time and effort. I've lifted 5 to take the cover off and inspect underneath and I drove a few more than that. Most were pretty bad to be honest and it took a lot of time. The one I've ended up with is the best mechanically and third best cosmetically that I've seen. Many local receipts and stamps in the glovebox. Ultimately I think a little luck needs to play into it but in the end I'm glad i vetted them personally. They're seeing to a few things before I collect it within a week.
