m325i

Might be easier to take a video?

Would be keen on any with E46 m3 launch articles / covers.

A lot of people seem to have 'few' issues making sick power with these. But I have heard of someone in NZ with a 'melted turbo' with less than 20km

Reminds me of the whole Bangle thing... Come back in 5 years. Ya'll came 'round to the e60 M5...

Buy a 330i vert. Great car IMO.

I've previously had both replaced

Have you had the previous recalls done? I have been in for two recalls already. This sounds like it is a further recall. Is that your understanding too?

Saw this on the US forum. WTF? Apparently applies to cars that had the inital recalls done too? Passenger Front Air Bag ModuleSafety Recall 20V-018BMW 3 SeriesModel Year 2000-2006Initial: 1/15/2020

Some of these cars came with the factory option sagging headliner too!

Most overvalued ///M car of all time with a corny celebrity tie in IMO.

Maintenance is nothing if the car has bottomed out, or maintains value. This is my justification for continuing to daily an e46 m3. Same would go for E39 M5. If you'd hung onto an e30 motorsport from the early 2000s you'd be up! Even some Ferrari's can work out cheaper than a new 3 series if you have the capital.

It's a real beater of a CSL - 140,000 miles, stone chips for days. I was a 'manual only' guy until I owned an SMG. I really like it. But the issues will come sooner or later. @HELLBM converted mine, and I do love it. If he went with a CAE or RTD shifter I wonder if the whole thing is totally reversible? Yet another video claiming this to be the greatest ///M car of all time - no wonder they are heating up!

Happy Xmas to you?

It's possible, but I would just buy the polisher. https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/toolpro-toolpro-dual-action-polisher-240v-720w-150mm/581559.html https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/meguiars-meguiars-ultimate-compound---450ml/214309.html?cgid=SCN8005310

Don't need to watch it, I'm sure it's the one parked in my driveway!! ?

Glad to hear!

Not that I watch this much, but I honestly like the new guy more

I saw you driving this today. Looked good! GLWS

Any pics of the 19s? LCI on the F30 19's is a great combo!

Looks great! I used to really hate the wood, but maybe with age I hate it less? Mint car. Any more plans?

The 4 door looks great! It's a shame BMW missed this generation. The coupe is driving the best it has in 7 years / 80k now Ray! Thanks Sam / HellBM for the new dampers, steering coupling and diff/motor oil services. Feels like a new car.

^ an oil and filter changed by the dealer is no different to an indy... It's the extras, if any, you could pay a dealer premium for. (And you'd likely just go for it seeing as the car is already there - hence they whole point of this campaign).

For a TV show like this, I thought it was pretty good and detailed. I learnt some things from it! An alternate way to view it is paste the link in a downloader site like: https://y2mate.com/youtube/5ZL96uDowZM

^Fair point. Assuming you use a calendar for practical purposes. I'd just use it as an excuse to hang cars on my office wall.
