    We're worse than Tesla fanboys

    Man, this really puts a floor under the market now... Write off with issues and no major maintenance addressed for mid $20s. Be interesting to see the next wave of listings...

    E46 M3

    Interesting it's the only coupe on the market. They are getting really rare now.
  4. Done properly you machine your existing one for the detents, I believe. There are after market shifter solutions now where you can avoid that if you want.
  5. My e36 had a Jatco box which had no value. E46 uses the same box as SMG.
  6. They have converted two of my cars to manual - 'drive in - drive out' no issues whatsoever, perfect.
  7. I had an S3 for a few years - constant ~$1000 services, but it was pretty solid.

    E61 Wagon Project

    Cool colour, big sunroof fan, esp on these. Looks tidy. Headlight polish ?
  9. Good feedback, and if DICE dies, it could be an option for me. FYI the DICE unit does almost all of that except the car system stuff. Phone uses a dedicated mic, steering wheel buttons all work, incl answering calls., even Siri, but that does have a lag. Displays track names, stops playback automatically etc. Just seemed weird that for such an old unit that did 'everything' - 10 years later this costs more, with pretty much the same features. Albeit not cloning the CD stacker. It's like no one knew about the Mediabridge.
  10. This is cool - but I have been using a Dice Media Bridge for years now, and it seems to do everything this does and more. Full OEM integration, steering wheel buttons, BT calling, USB input etc. Unless I am missing something (like is this a higher quality BT? Moot with the OEM sound system anyway), I'm not sure why this is worth any premium? EDIT: Is the Mediabridge NLA? Might be. But it was half the price of this.

    For posterity - I LOVE IT

    BMW Concept 4

    I'm already coming around. Definitely reminiscent of the Alfa. Be interesting to see if they LCI it. I'm going to say I like it.
  13. So the perfect mod for an Auckland daily
  14. I reckon this is one of Audi's best designs. Great looking coupe. I do know someone who had to replace their motor (2.0T) in one of these, but since it seems OK (6+ years), the FWD is a bummer in his. Quattro V6 must be quite a nice package! Don't worry, she'll curb them soon, then just repaint silver when you fix them!

    I think being colour blind really detracts from this colour.

  17. If you've got the budget - that would be a big upgrade. And you would get a massive portion back if you ever sold it separately. Beat me to it. That is what really kills the idea of coil overs in NZ. Different chassis, but I got Koni 'yellows' recently and am very happy. Post pics
  18. Do I need a radar detector for inner city 30km zones?
  19. Thanks - bought that Ctek one on special.
  20. Hi I was wondering if you guys could advise me on battery chargers. Family have a 335i that has been sitting and error codes are from a (slightly) flat battery. I was advised to try a charger. What is the cheapest option that will do the trick? I see they vary quite a bit on TM. It’s not so much for tending, more to actually charge this up. TIA!
  21. My bro had a similar issue - DME died - insanely expensive.Hopefully it's not that!
  22. Cool, but I'd rather have someone make my own spec e30 for $60k
