Not sure I follow that logic. Sales set prices, not asks. Their space on the yard will owe them something like $1200-2000/month, so this car has cost them more sitting there for three years than they’ll ever realise by selling it. Money laundering operation right there, yeo.

oh, you mean this one then???? (all kudos to Ray and his team at HellBM......but I am super happy to be the lucky current custodian.)

I'm sure you know better than that Chris! Too expensive by ~$6k. Manual, smanual... 😉 (forgive me for being defensive). But no really notable options, BMWP pedals, Aero spoiler, CD instead of MD (who cares?), no PDC, no sunroof, no cruise (😁), nothing else... and the oil cooler has lost its cover! Shame. And the thing is, at ~90k kms, probably everything underneath and up front needs replacing. I'd say it's a $11.5k (marketed) car that you'd need to be prepared to sell for $10.5k. Edit: you can get a F20 M135i for less than what they're asking for this.

Mrs spotted this today

Shook my head through this dribble yesterday. I feel like this guy drives a Mazda 6 and thinks it's the best car in the world. And it actually is the best car he has driven.

Fantastic conclusion well worth the watch and damn this looks good 👌

Ive got a trip coming up starting this weekend. will be in a campervan so driving isnt the main point but rough plan is: Fly into CHCH stay the night Drive through Lewis Pass to Nelson Lakes Nat Park down the Greymouth and camp at Hans Bay Lake Kaniere Drive through Arthers Pass and backroads to Lake Tekapo and find a motor park to camp next morning to Lake Pukaki and knock out hooker valley track quick stop clay cliffs then drive to Dunedin for the night, maybe check out the Speights tour if have time back up to Lake Hawea near Wanaka for a night drive down the Queenstown early morning drop off the van, do some shopping and bus into Te Anau for the night catch another bus to The Divide and 3 day tracking west to east the Routeburn bus back to Queenstown for the night fly back up to Auckland

haha my mate has yard full of them , i wonder if he might sell one

I looked at this car in 2017 🤣

38 to 40 PSI is a good general recommendation (I run that rear tyre on both of my cars). Never leave an alignment without the correction sheet, you've paid for it after all. You'll know for next time. If it was only recently the shop will probably have it stored, it might be worth asking them... even for a small fee it's probably worth getting.

Ohh yeah, that does look good!

Wow, how long ago was "recently"?!? Can you post a copy of the alignment sheet? I would think if it was a static alignment problem the shop would have told you "it's bad" so I imagine it's dynamic alignment (i.e. when your driving only) which would indicate bushes, top mounts or shocks... is it the same on both sides?

Got a rear diffuser from Fancywide in Russia and put it together over the weekend. Balances out the rear end quite nicely
