Same reason I have 3 130s. 😅

Installed a Gauge S by Sorek (as seen on M539 restorations awhile back). Originally for the E30 and E36 instrument cluster but he progressed to E46\E39 and now E9X chassis. Pretty handy device which is quite capable of many things like data logging and is very customizable. Best of all it still has the OEM look, doesn't get it the way of anything and is reasonably priced. Pretty quick and easy to install as it just taps into instrument cluster wiring, only complaint was the supplied wires were too short which was a bit annoying and i had to lengthen them (RHD thing maybe). Also Installed and wired in Bosch PST oil pressure\temperature sensor using a modified M14x1.5 banjo bolt. This was much more involved as i had to have factory looking install into existing looms, no wiring cut using home made tee adaptors and all crimped OE terminals\plugs. Wasted a bit time\money finding out how i wanted to do it. but shouldnt even have to touch it again. Sorek has the tables\coded done for this sensor using the extra analog connector so its just a matter of copy pasting some code into the memory. Very cheap way to get this data compared to analog gauges. Thanks to @Vass for sending me a OBD port cover which is required to display K-line data when closed. Im sure he will do a proper write up one day as forgot to take detailed photos of most of it. Pretty straight forward regardless.

That brown interior is certainly very “challenging” and having a mis-matched drivers seat (colour and pattern) doesn’t improve the look at all.

Looks lovely aside from the mismatched seats, I definately bought at the top of the market haha

On another note, I wonder which crack head priced the auction estimate on this...

I've no idea what these people are playing at with their deluded price expectations. Just because a car is "low mileage" doesn't negate the fact it's riddled with 20+ year old crusty rubber and plastic that'll need significant investment to overhaul. Let alone it's not even that well spec'd - cloth non-heated seats, no steering wheel controls, no auto lights-wipers, automatic, plus it has spent 20 years of its life in Japan so could be more susceptible to rust. Who in their right mind pays 3 x the market price for this? Still, probably better value than these two grandpa spec specimens: 2001 325i - 7,500km @ $19.5k & 1998 328i - 23,500km @ $13k Do these people know we're in a recession?

Wild M3 spotted, what a beauty, ignore the texting driver.

Nice E28 at Mitre 10, forget how small they are compared to modern 5 series barges.

Lots of high-end cars here in Vancouver, but it's the older ones that grab my attention...

I decided what the heck and bought myself a jacket from one of those shady knock off stalls at the local market.
