Yep $12k and they come with a free car.

Useless daily fact #376: The 3.0 has intake noise plumbed into the cabin. Not electronically either, but there is a pipe with a membrane "speaker" in the end.

My mechanic very kindly loaned me the use of a hoist yesterday (and some expert help). Replaced front lower control arms and rear crankshaft seal. 4.5 hours for both... No leaks no creaks! BOOM!! Very happy with that (would have taken me twice as long more to do on my own). Bad pics... Oily hands and smartphones don't work too well together: EDIT: Should have added the car feels fantastic post-surgery... Major second thoughts about replacing with an 8er.

hmmm loving that colour on your e36

There ya go!

All in all it hasn't been a good week for Wellington's e36 population... http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/10080712/Car-crashes-and-burns

Oh? I use those to jumpstart other people... I've never had an issue with batteries or starting.

Shameless!

Mmm Z4M coupe indeed, but they are still fairly pricey. Well the whole point of cars for me is to do something different, namely that old trick of putting a bigger engine in with more cylinders. So much fun!

I've got a E91 335i Motorsport and I can't speak highly enough of it. I've had over a hundred previous cars, some considerably more powerful, some considerably more expensive, but the 335i it's quite simply the best all rounder I've had.

Didn't realise your new job was as a hairdresser, Mike?!

Yeah there is a set on tm but they so sooo damn ugly

not a lot of value in that one mate. would need to be a 328i 5spd to be worth it

Cheers Rod. I can tell you I had the whole hub stripped cleaned & copper greased! I replaced the wheel bearings just incase.... then new rotors sand blasted and painted my calipers & installed braided lines! My next step is to try the indicator test & put my old wheels back on without spaces, just incase. ( sounds daft, but could i try my old 16" wheels at the front just to test it with my 15" on the back)? Cheers.

See page 3 of this post for the details, but 172.5 wkw (completely stock). I'm expecting a slight lift once i refresh the Vanos, then additional lifts with chip etc.

think its a few more cylinders than a V8, and lots of power revving up that quick!

Easy

don't forget a song and dance..... but yea, would be a sad day to see it leave your ownership. Fantastically tasteful car
