Gotta love this: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/engines/listing-1676506415.htm

That actually looks like a tidy little car. If it's as good in person as the pics present.

Fingers crossed for you. It's been a while since my redundancy and perhaps it is a reflection on what I went through in the previous years, but I am only now starting to relax. That is a good thing! And it has given us an opportunity to take a step back and review what we have done, and what we would like to do.

'Totally loaded' Is it me or does anyone else find it extremely frustrating that car ads, private and dealers list the most basic features that have been around for decades? Look up any high end car/SUV that is within ten years old and you'll find listed ABS Cruise control Power steering Electric seats etc. Pretty sure in the 1970s, Mercedes S Class and the yank junk had all of that.

On this wee ti: https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1609419597 - the start button is the one that really impresses me!

You should do a rental program. $50-100 a job and it’s paid for itself after a few

Cheers Graham - it's rarely a nice thing to go through, however it plays out... though like many clouds it can have a silver lining

I empathise. And afterwards, I learned that I received my marching orders before the company employing me received notification of the cancellation of the contract that paid my wages...

Redundancy. And having to go through "the process" when the outcome of said process is crystal bluddy clear.

lol nope. never seen in NZ in real life. I personally think there are better wheels that suit E34. M Pars - Throwing stars - Hamann HM2 - AC Schnitzer - Alpinas - Racing Dynamics RD1 etc etc

Go watch the episode. They will prove your theory completely wrong, as all the dents they put in the system were maybe 200mm from the heads. And like said previously, even they ruled out a lot of the changes due to time of day, oil and water temp in the motor etc. etc. Think you need to go do some more research before you keep trolling. Watch that episode then tell everyone here (especially the ones that know that sh*t) that they're wrong. Then give me all the all the calculations to explain how the cross sectional area of the pipe has been reduced. Plus all the gas flow cals that say it is going to be severely restricted.

^ dont think thats quite fair. 2013-2017 + $50-60k = 163 BMW's but none of these are M3 or close. I can only find 1 listing that MAY be close which is a NZ new 435i 2015 with 30kms for $60k but gran coupe, not sure if the OP is keen on this shape. https://www.trademe.co.nz/1603054579 Otherwise there is 1x 335d imported, and a few 330e and 330d. Nothing that comes close to a M3.

Damn commie bastards

Red cows do a sh*t load of damage ?

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1663951542 It's going to take some significant work. The impact has popped the windscreen, suggesting deformation around the screen and A-pillars.

Hi all, The continuing saga of my BMW, not only have I spent slightly more than the purchase price in repairs etc, I have now managed to hit a dog whilst travelling to work. Was doing 100 km/ph at the time, on rural roads, at 3am! Unfortunately the dog died, a dark coloured Labrador. Damage to my car, that I know of, is to the left front of the car. Namely- fog light, lhand lower grille section, cracked lower bumper, paint damage/ cracking to bumper, broken engine under tray, and popped out bumper on left front. After a wee bit of internet searching and stalking, I was able to get the dog owners name, as the son would not give me their name. Luckily for me, after a letter from my Insurance Company, the dog owner forwarded a claim to her Insurance Company, which has resulted in me not having to pay my excess etc. The car is being repaired by Prestige Collision Repairs, in Hamilton, and I am due to get the car back on Monday. What next........!! Graeme

When you are trying to get to hospital in a hurry because you have a 3 year old in the back bleeding heavily from a head wound inflicted by loosing a fight with the coffee table... and the dick in the "fast lane" won't get out the way because 100km/h is plenty and they are determined to make sure everybody else knows it, no matter how much you honk and high beam them Seriously if you are on the main thoroughfare to the local hospital, just get out the f**king way.
