Awesome Martin. 💎

Consider CM wheels in the UK.

Yeah, saw if for sale ~5 years ago. It is mint. I'd want even less original though (RHD)

unflattering receding hairline pic

Sold? If close to ask, I'm quite impressed by that price

They seems pretty good. I'm just driving around town etc. Only been on the motorway briefly.

Like ~$450 each

Just went from Dunlop Sport Maxx 050+ (non rft) to Hankook S1 Evo2 (RFT). Honestly not much difference in ride quality at all.

OT but Trade me does have a lot of safeguards. Other countries only have FB Marketplace (or ebay if they are lucky) which is basically a back alley. And that has given rise to the premium auction sites like Bring-a-trailer. Trademe is actually a pretty sweet in-between that does have legal recourse (especially for large value items) and doesn't have buyer premiums that specialist sites would demand. The whole "tardeme" argrument is like Sky Tv - everyone was crying about a SkyTv monopoly. But look atcha now.... Sky for Rugby/Cricket, Netflix for Ozark, Disney for Star Wars, Spark Sport for F1, Amazon for The Boys and your in well over $200. Careful what you wish for....

Black looks great. Have a white twin. Dope cars.

Generations: e93 335i & F30 330d. Wish mine was white.

After driving a brand new Ionic 5 for a few days, this is what hit me the most. I assume the CX5 feels similar. Nice cars, but they just feel cheap compared to even a ~9 year old X3. Personally I'd go for an older euro. Best of luck.

It changes the car and I would buy another SMG car with no hesitation because of it. Enjoy!

Do you know how they stole it? Are you pushing to reclaim and 'fix' it? Or move on?

this one? - what is the vibration level like?

Long shot, but any c pillars ?

China sent me the wrong colour! (yellow). I have another shipment coming and they said it would have replacement black. It's 1/4 the price of actual Swisstrax. What's the dream solution ? Dark grey? 🤣.

Tried the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Black Liquid Polish posted here by @GorGasm the other week. Pretty impressed and would recommend too. The problem with most "Sio2" LSP's is they bead so much that when a black car dries you get bad water spots. I actually think older style sealants/waxes are better at sheeting the water off. This one didn't seem to "spot" too bad though. Have just topped it up with this, so see how it goes. Polished tips (but only went to the visible line inside - I'm not OCD! 😂)

I have notice this in the last couple of years with the e46 though. Before it was only nerds. Now I get randoms coming up to me "Is that a manual bro?" etc. I think it's when cars get older but are still well presented they attract everyone; including pig hunters, f*ck pigs, normies and nerds. @SHRNTA any news? Sorry if it's raw / too early, but the insurance scenario would be something I am sure a lot of other owners would be interested in given the recent value changes. Hope it works out OK for you.

Long shot, but after this trim piece in white? thanks

I'm thinking of an air tag.

I've not driven an e39 m5, but I think I would rather have a super tidy e90 with budget for all the maintenance than $65k for a rough one of these. Condition & kms being equal, I'd take the m5 though.

Heat it up, fishing line, "disolve it" spray, compound polish.

that's one where you have to buy the whole OEM cover, or use aftermarket bushings
