Wow, 134km's and the paints ended up like that. What does it drive like?

I'd buy a manual 130i in Le Mans blue if I had the choice, perfect size for me and would be a fun car to throw around.

Are you talking about the manuals that come with the car or aftermarket manuals?

The ones that came with the cat can be bought from BMW, for aftermarket manuals search for your specific car but buy ones made by Bentley Publishers

Whoa, getting pretty cheap... we've a manual 118i, its a good little car for shopping trips, the wife loves hers... its her second.

Far4ngn is my GTAG...simple huh

Lots of 318i's on TM at present, Brent has a 318i Motorsport version which looks nice... but nothing really above 2000cc in an e46 shell.

Anyone playing Titanfall on the Xbox One yet?

Think I need an older car... nothing goes wrong on this current one tsk

I sold mine for 1200 including brand new Toyo T1R's

Unblocked the passenger side windscreen washer jet

Looks a great car, autos are going from about 8k now for 330ci's, average is about 10k from what I've seen on TM with 150k or less on the clock. Don't see many manuals.

Yes, very nice car.

Yup good company, I've a few ex colleagues working for them now

If you need anything just shout out.

May need to save up for a manual conversion...

Don't go for views, choose to be out of the southerly.

I live in Churton Park, not a bad suburb, flat section... bit windy, but newer houses and bus to town (45mins) or train from JVille...plus its right on state highway 1.

It'll come down to personal preference, if you need any help let us know.

Can I ask who are you joining?

Thanks all, plenty of auto choices (as manuals are quite rare at present), so probably edging towards the smaller 330ci, although I do like the idea of a V8.

Guys

Looking for your views on the E46 330ci and E39 540i, I'm wanting something to enjoy as a second car probably only used on weekends.

Plus something that I can modify when cash allows, ie suspension, wheels etc etc

Any views on Alcantara vs Leather?

Cheers

Paul

Open a place in Welly first....

What km's are on the car at present?

Speak to Soichi at ST Hitech, he's a GTR specialist... but a very friendly chap.

My sons mates at R's garage have taken over the premises for their own cars, sounds like the rolling road etc is still there and Geoff will be around doing wiring. Not sure if they will turn this into a business venture.

The rolling road etc is in a family trust and I believe they are having discussions with STM to see if they want to utilise the equipment.

Yup I'd like a 540i, 535i etc even a good 7 series but probably as my first car to travel in style... the wife has a 1 series at present, we have a Terrano for trips to the beach/tip, so I'm looking for a E30 325i or 318is for those weekend country roads

If I had the cash then an E30 M3 or I'd even have a good M325i or Touring and spend $'s on restoring/improving it...preferable an Mtech 2 kits as its the only one I havent had.

Although if its just a third car I'd probably get a Z3 just for the weekend.

It is a great looking car.

Nice car
