woodgrain just doesnt work in any 3 series

Personally, i would go or the 6 cyl every day of the week. Fuel consumption wont be 12l/100km unless you sit in traffic 90% of the time. Even my E46 330 was better than 11 in traffc and got down as low as 7.4 on the open road. At 1000km/week i would expect around 8l/100km from a 330 & probably similar with a 320. I actually own an E90 320D & while it goes well, the E90 is a cheaply built car compared to the E46.

i love Dakar. Looks very tidy, although its almost E46 money now. I wish the sedans came with vaders and without the woodgrain, would be prefect.

You'd be surprised actually. I have a massive folder of receipts and service history, including regular services. Why the oils were wrong, and over filled, im not sure, but it was regularly changed. Its also had a lot of other work like suspension, bushes, brakes etc. Other than the vanos, there is really nothing that is more than cosmetic. Even then the vanos is just noise (and maybe a little loss of power), and in terms of noise its pretty minor (going from the tube of you videos of noisy vanos's). E: Yes, Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W140 is what BMW specs the plate type LSD for, and its what i have used. Its a great fluid, im impressed already. I think BMW sells it, but repco and BNT dont. I got mine from work, which was Mercedes, as its also used in the latest AMG diffs.

Awesome car!

If you guys/girls decide on somewhere out south auckland ways let me know :-)

Skids are always a good backdrop

You don't need to remove the cats to getter a slightly better sound. Removing them will give you other issues. Talk to a reputable exhaust specialist.

I just grind the tabs back and it works sweet.

If you want to use the clips you have to trim the tabs of cheers.
