m325i

^That's true I guess. Feels weird though when if you didn't drive it, it would go up in value. A 2011+ wouldn't.

I need this badly, but what are you meant to do with this car? Garage it and do 2000km per year? Or pop that 100,000km and just keep going.....? Then what happens to your $50k m3 that has 150km on the clock? Reckon you;d take a $20k bath? Or they are just going to keep going up?

I received mine, painted/finished. Works and looks good! will post pics soon... Thanks Deon

E90 is sedan, E91 wagon, E92 coupe, E93 cabrio My Dad has an e90 330i. My thoughts; Pretty sure the LCI has the updated iDrive with BT audio. Older one only has AUX audio and BT phone Hate to admit, but the walnut interior has grown on me. IRL it's not as bad as in pics. I would still consider a wrap though Factor in the iDrive navigation update if a jappa His isn't a MS, but has some good MS options - MS suspension, MS wheel, nice alloys, MS Seats. Seats are excellent. I would go non MS with those options - but MS is obvioulsy better (except that grey rear diffuser bit??!?) The colour and wheels make or break E9x IMO The 335i does have potential probs though... turbo/wastegate problem$ and HPFP. I know of 2 people who have had the waste-gate/turbo issues and it's not cheap, like $4k+ I would buy one though (preferable with a warranty).

Just like to bump this with my thanks to Tom via Ray @ Hell BM. My review; Awesome.

My mate had the 2.5TT one too, same colour. Then the electrics (dash?) died and it was pretty much a write off. Wasn't the TT one 'better' than the V8?

I'm by no way saying the fundamentals of the market are sound, but this has never worked. In fact it's the complete opposite. If you had bought at any point in history you are 'up'. The only people in my lifetime that have lost money on property are; bought at peak (07) and forced to sell in 08/09 bought at peak and forced to sell in 'Asian Crisis' '87 crash - forced to sell (due to borrowing too much and) Meth lab house Leakers Leasehold EDIT: Force mortgagee sales are not 'arms length market transactions' and should be discarded when looking at comparable sales evidence. Forced sale scenarios (such as marriage splits) generally would be included as evidence. But my point is that it is only if you HAD to sell at that point would you realise a loss. If you rode out those 'dips' you would have recovered, even if you bought at a previous peak. Not being able to service your mortgage, I think, is the individuals problem, and again, if they weren't forced to sell in the 'dip' they would also have positive equity. Meth Lab is 'bad luck' or poor management and not related to the market as such Leakers, dito Leasehold - I'm sorry but you have lost the second you bought

During the last year, sold prices in Camden were 8% up on the previous year and 24% up on 2010 when the average house price was £734,149. Zoopla says 13.7% yoy http://www.theguardian.com/money/2014/jul/02/leap-london-house-prices-unequalled-nationwide

I crack up at all these 'can't believe prices in AK / Ponsonby' comments you hear. Prices are like that as there are so many people willing and able to pay it. They see the value. Just because you don't doesn't mean it's wrong - that's the market for that product. Compared to outer suburbs, Ponsonby etc. has shorter & cheaper commute to city, cheaper taxis, walking distance to entertainment, far better entertainment. There are legit savings to living in central areas. A lot of people that come back from the UK want that pub lifestyle. They are willing to pay for the few areas in AK that offer that. (And are already used to paying $4000+ per month in rent). Housing inflation IMO is a problem rooted deep in the financial system we have (and post 2008 proved we are unwilling to change). In saying that Auckland is no worse than a lot of other cities. London is f**king mental right now. Sydney is sick also. Both those places have capital gains taxes and stamp duties! They other issue is building costs - you aren't getting much change out of $400k for a basic house - on a flat, easy access site. So straight away you are in for half a million in shitsville where land is only $100k. Opinions on value aside - you can't deny history - prices have always gone up and unless you made a mistake or were forced to sell in a 'dip' everyone is 'up'. My whol adult life there has been haters saying 'crash coming don't buy' - while I agree with some of their logic, if I'd bought as much as I could at ANY point in the past, I'd be rich. /Registered Valuer PS - Golden Dawn music is good!

We need video!

If I won the Powerball I would buy this.

Ebay is even cheaper. But I actually like the yellow better

Thread jack sorry, but what about the OEM 19" e46 m3 wheels? They aren't painted are they? (Machined with clear coat?) Cheers

OK thanks - post up when you are ready to go.

Also - how does the charger plug stay seated? (i.e. if you push you phone in/down how does it not get pushed down too?)

John Key's e30

Looks pretty good! How is the charger connected? Why is there a curve in the front? EDIT: oh the curve is 'down' to reveal the button? How much we looking at?

Ha, not really. But on the plus side there seems to be quite a few on the market ATM. As you are a highly educated and enlightened individual that understands the advantages of SMG you are in a great position to scoop one up!

It is quite elastic - when bookings are low (i.e. in advance) it's cheaper. Turn up on the day and put your card in = r4pe. I should add covered was only like $2 a day more.

If you book with enough notice online (a week?) the actual domestic terminal parking is the same price as park n ride. I did 5 days recently and it was $52 for the domestic park and $48 for park n ride. YMMV due to capacity at the time.

If you got $7k less an excess you did a lot better than me selling mine.

I see that 318i all the time - it's tidy.

Looks tidy! Personally I like those wheels and would keep them. External visual mods for me would be an msport bumper. But it looks great as is. This car didn't even exist when I was 17!
