Hello, With our first child on the way, I needed more doors and seats than the van offered, and so this is my E46 330i. 2001 model, imported from Japan in 2009. 99,000 kilometres on the clock, full service history. Cleanish daily for the Whānau 👌🏼 I moved to New Zealand from the UK six years ago, and I'm North Shore based. I'm keen to get involved in the BMW community, particularly the Race Series (http://www.bmwraceseries.co.nz/). Cheers, Josh

Better pics of refreshed wheels. not an exact match to the original colour and a bit lighter but I like it.

I joined this group a number of years back and the support, discussion and knowledge provided here has been invaluable, yes we have the odd enthusiastic discussion but this really is a very good community. A perfect example of this happened recently. I bought an E70 X40d and it was located in Auckland ; with Covid lockdowns occurring I was struggling to find a way to get the X5 back to Wellington. Pramod came to the rescue; he helped get the X5 picked up and bought back to Wellington for less than an airfare and diesel; and there was nothing in it for him he was just helping out. Pramod for those that dont know is really good with programming, he can sort and re program keys as well as code your DME, he is a BMW enthusiast and a really nice guy. Thanks Pramod, I really appreciate your help.

Some incredible cars this morning at Caffeine and Classics but this is the only one I took a picture of 😍

Facelift. almost 1000km since the engine went in. Had a coolant light on last week. Not sure if it did a big burp or if it's leaking but either way i topped it up and am keeping an eye on it. Xenons sourced from Weitz and coded in by @promo. Black corner lights also installed with chrome bulbs. Black grilles are also in and a few stone chips fixed up. I've just noticed looking at these photos that there is a little bulb on in the passenger side light. This is consistent with a bulb out light on the dash on the drivers side. Anyone know what this is? I haven't wired up for bi-xenon functionality yet or self leveling...they will come down the line. Suspension has also settled. Dropped the car into auto38 this week for a gearbox flush. ZF filter and 12L of ZF oil. 212K trans oil was very black apparently.

Thats probably the downfall then. The proportions of the rear of the M4 is terrible, the GTR and Stang are much better. I've never seen massive wheels like the M4 has swallowed by the rear guard and made to look like they are smaller than the front wheels.

Mustang did it better

Thanks Kyu. Yep I will be selling this, let me know if you are interested.

Hate to say it but I saw them in person this week... and... yeah they actually are much nicer to look at in the flesh. There's a "nardo grey" M3 at the Christchurch dealer and my first impression on seeing it is that it looks badass. I hated them in photos. I sat in the carbon seats. I love them. You do have to climb in and out of them though due to the bolster. Impressive that they even still have the inflatable side bolsters like the regular sport seats. I want those seats in my M4.
