    Quick Questions

    Doesnt look like a lot of wet oil there to make a puddle. Have you looked under it and checked its not something like the oil pan gaskets?
  2. Sure, they would waste most of the list, but are they really "drivers cars" when it's electronic gizmos doing all the work? Give me an analogue car anyday.

    Quick rant thread.

    Yeah always check which warehouse it's shipped from. If you get everything from the same warehouse it shouldn't be too bad (although post COVID shipping has been more expensive anyway)
  4. Carjam says Auto, would need a cert
  5. if it plugs in, it pays reduced RUC. If it doesnt plug in and is a normal hybrid, only pay fuel tax.
  6. Who hasn't had a good scandal tbh. If you were worried about the ethics of your car, you wouldn't have a car.
  7. If you can, try to find one that has as few gimmicks as possible. Active steering, active headlights and dynamic drive are the three i would try to avoid if possible, due to unreliability. Otherwise it should be a pretty solid, albeit big, car.
  8. Dont even get me started on Supercats. They shouldnt be legally able to be sold as tyres. Barely ok in the dry, but downright dangerous in the wet. Had two or three cars come on them now and all have been like driving on marbles in the wet.

    E36 V8 touring

    Not to mention the tiptronic gate on the shifter too Gorgeous looking car and awesome conversion. I bet the colour combo with the leather looks great

    Quick rant thread.

    The logic of factory wheel bolts failing a cert escapes me. I believe the cert system is good for the most part, but that seems a bit stupid.
  11. In my garage. Not everyone owns just JDM or Euro cars
  12. When everything works, they do make really good open road/long distance cruisers though. Very comfortable and I imagine they would be super stable on the Autobahn.
  13. IMO the N62 is a dog of an engine, with many well known, although serious, issues that they all seem to suffer eventually. Sure, you can fix them all one by one, but by that point you have spent thousands on just the engine, and havent even begun to work on the issues the E63/64 platform has. I'd take an E46, or even an E90, over another of those horrible land whales any day. Theres a reason you are finding them in your budget...
  14. My impression was that the person giving them away was hoping they went to someone that wanted parts for their car, not for some wanker to try and make a buck. Chucking it on trademe isnt "putting in the effort".
