You were telling me like 3 days ago how much you think I should put cats in my e30 exhaust so it doesn't smell. I sense sarcasm.

Just to counteract the negativity in the rant thread... lets see if we can even things up. Hot Cross Buns with a table spoon of Nutella. Table spoon of Nutella without the buns, just gob it. That time you drove to the beach and there were no camper vans or motorhomes and no one blocked you on the passing lanes, just a clear road with Sublime cranking and no ETA, just one brown arm.

Gave that up when I left the UK... Way too expensive over here.

Having one of my kids spontaneously tell me they love me without wanting something. Sex :-)

Amazing colours. I like colours. Oh. And I love rally. This is my favourite picture of the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it's the accented intake but for some reason it made me think of these:

Having enough money to have a BMW weekend/project car. Having my kids run out to meet me when I get home. A good Sunday roast. A long weekend starting in a hand full of hours. Beer And being self employed so I can stuff around on here when ever I want.

Many (many) moons ago, when I was troubled youth, my friends and I used to bike through the streets of Cambridge (UK) on (usually) 'borrowed' push bikes under the influence of this, that and the other. There are lots of narrow residential streets in Cambridge with cars parked the length of them on both sides all day and night. We'd ride down said streets, legs akimbo, booted-feet aimed perfectly at wing mirrors. 5 points for bending it back, 25 for breaking it off. Not proud of it, but just pointing out that said theft was more likely plain old vandalism. Have a look in your hedge or nearby bins and you might find your busted wing mirrors. Apologies to anyone whose mirror I broke 25+ years ago.

You should post these in the euro car club fb page. It's full of introvert, chino and boat shoes wearing, man bun wielding, coffee drinking hipsters who would have a masty fest over these. You could even list them with the same price description you have here and get a massive amount of replies - probably even more than you have on this post.

well bugger me. we've been back in niu zild for what, 13 years. our own little bit paradise. house (mortgage), kids, even scraped together coin enough to get a modern replacement for the e30 touring I had to sell leaving blighty. yesterday morning, the minister for war headed down to the car with our offspring in tow, while I fumbled with shoelaces and alarmed and locked the house. got to the street, admiring the beautiful orientblau metallic, and the faces of my family. only, my significant other is not looking as cheerful. "notice anything different about the car?" she asks me hmmm. "errrrr, there's some birdshit on the bonnet" "no" "errr I dunno" "look at the mirrors" "eh? what... where are the mirrors?" yes folks, some miserable twunt stole the door mirrors from our e46 overnight. BROKE them off, rooting the brackets. not to be outdone, the cut all of the wires. Fekkers. thoughts of 'paradise' abandoned; we're actually living in a third world country, where idiots are thieving parts from 13 year old cars. There must be Karma. I imagine the NZ Herald... "Dateline Wellington. Man arrived in the early hours of this morning at Wellington Hospital A&E, with funny gait. Doctors later removed car mirror that had been rectally inserted. When interviewed by this reporter, the man claimed he had no recollection of how the mirror - or the boot marks on his posterior - got there. Medical staff were suppressing their guffaws. Police said they were steeling themselves to look in to the matter, but were waiting until breakfast had settled." So, can anyone explain: is there a new market for e46 mirrors? A black market? Modders - are they great on e36's or Familias? I just don't get it. I know they're (my touring mirrors) are only for the sedan and wagon; the coupe and convertible have different units; the Ti are unique; the M3 different again. I figured they're pricey. Called insurance, filed police report. If anyone can help me understand what someone would use my beautiful, orientblau, now-broken, e46 touring mirrors for? Answers on a postcard please. Meanwhile, if this scumbag needs more mirrors, I have a spare 850 door mirror in my workshop. I'd be very happy to 'introduce' the two of them. Perhaps he'd make the papers. 'wearing' a mirror might give him a new perspective. Choose a more useful direction in life. Hmmm, direction. It's not like we can see what's around us when we change direction, at the moment. Did I say earlier, this person must be a right koont. Off to a couple of insurance co nominated repairers tomorrow, to get this underway. Our insurer was great. /rant Olaf

I have had four beautiful cars stolen and ended up driving an Alfa Romeo for 7 years, cos no f**ker would still one of those.....now, I have a BMW and preying some dumb sh*t don't steal that now. So feel your pain and most of the time, you will never understand why some f**ker thought your hard earn stuff is better off with them..... Good luck.

Just waking up is a godsend

Got the full 3500.

hahaha rants: Woodstock drinking types up the road on their drift trike who think its cool to ride up and down out caldersacs skidding even after I had a polite word. Time to sh*t in their letter box.

What do you mean by this?

An unshielded pod filter would work wonders under that hood. ^

Cheap used cars that were once really expensive.

They're interchangeable. You decide.

there was a couple of those lhd japan ones floating around 635csiA converted with m88 engines

Lesbians. Not the dyke ones. The hot ones.

seems legit

also. public holidays

First work clear weekend since mid Feb, major task complete , get evenings back as well. 4 days family time to look forward to Drive home, low traffic , M3 Rasp 2.5 y/o girl seeing daddy arrive home , big smile and eyes brighter than the sun. Nice dinner washed down with red wine And it just gets better

Waking up in the morning and realising that you didn't use Dot 5 brake fluid to flush your Dot 4 system... damn dreams!

Throw lumps of ice on their roof all night. No evidence in the morning. After you run out of ice, throw cheap bread on their roof and go to bed... just after dawn, there'll be no evidence (after the hellish racket that sounds like a whole rubbishdumpfull of seagulls trying in to get in ) particularly good when they keep you up, but they want a sleep in

Here I just put my wind screen wipers on.... for some reason they don't come near you.Ps this thread is awesome

^ Snow or Coke? ;-)

True. It all depends on what you are after I suppose. There is a place for a nice GT car. I guess I just see them as pointless, compromised and showy for sake of being showy, not my style at all. I would always end up in a Porsche for the same money. Or perhaps a Vantage N430.

Hi guys, the Ferrari Owners Club NZ are doing a charity run for the Gastro Intestinal Cancer Institute of NZ with some epic cars in attendance. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=5414879 I'll be driving the 575 for those who may be interested in a cheaper ride, but the Enzo or LaFerrari would be a once in a lifetime thing!

Google map anything right now. You can turn it into Pac Man

Original 2005 DB9. Still one of my favorite cars.

Not a huge fan of that Maserati. They look like a huge Mitsubishi FTO, they are a massive car. I guess I don't like coupes that are big, GT's etc. I do hear the 2016 model is going to be reinvented as a proper hard core car though, so that should be interesting to see. Not a fan of the Jap car scene either, its probably more the people than the cars... But, I love this Rocket Bunny concept based on the lovely S14 platform, I'm sure most of you are familiar with it. Sorta had a e30 quality. Reminds me of Tony's project.

A date with a tooth brush, some resene revive and new plastics wouldnt go a miss in the engine bay. Cheap fixes for easier command of price. No body really likes a dirty engine bay.

Freeze poo ... cheese grate it into carpet. You cant vaccum marmite. Always winning

Tap water Falling asleep after work Falling asleep under the car Not falling asleep when I get into bed.

Please ensure you tell whoever buys them they MUST use aftermarket longer wheel nuts!!!! seen too many without that now. there is a reason why this sh*t is illegal without cert

I think he was being facetious

Nice E34 that parks outside my work on Corban Ave in Albany some days. Will snap a pic when I can. On a negative though. PFL E39 540i around Torbay area. Young guy driving. It is the worst sounding V8 BMW I have ever heard. Loud as hell. If anyone knows this guy please inform him of how bad his car sounds. E.g. I would rather be driving a 4cyl Toyota Altezza with a Chinese made fart cannon on the back.

Finally got some centre caps. Now to seriously consider the refurb

Thinking about buying it and rusting it with big shiny wheels

Why does an e46 get a 4 star ANCAP safety rating when it previously had a 5 star rating & and a 2015 Suzuki Swift which failed its independent crash test result get a 5 star ANCAP rating? I know the answer to this .. and it has nothing to do with safety.

Great insight, Josh

I've got ac Schnitzer/Remus on our e46 320i. Sounds pretty good. Also had one on my old 328 which I had a full exhaust made and sounded great on that
