m325i

As the laucnh fo PS3 is coming, just wondering how many console gamers are out there/on here? What's your console of choice? Are you into 'the scene'/modding? I'm a big Nintendo fan. Who's gonna be picking up a PS3? Personally I'd advise goig for a "Wii60", but then you can't play Riiiiiiiidge Raaaaaacer i suppose.

JDM Honda City - 4 speed (battle check! Vs NZ new 5 speed = the same [air conditioning off]) JDM Honda Civic - 1500 dual carb BG Familia Interplay hatch - gunmetal, full factory kit (rare) BG Familia GTX - 17" blades, JDM upgraded ECU, 2.5" from turbo, airbox e30 m325i - NZ new, Hybrid's car V4 STI Impreza - 3", 17" alloys next... 350Z? m3? cabrio e30 with an s50?

Its an investment. Wow i actually thought Sky City would be one of the safer parks, for theft anyway. Think you guys have it bad. Subaru doors are made of tin foil, if you breathe on them too close you get those horrible ripples.

m325i

But selling them at $400 a ticket i might figures 328i is better, but dont blow you budget on an extra xx3i

It kills me that Gigi Galli is such a crash king. He is easily the most electrifying driver on the WRC

Yes some good points. I'm playing devils advocate a bit i suppose. 328i is obviously better. But as ThreeOneEight suggests, the better car is the better buy. If performance is really your goal, just save the cash and get an m3. I suppose my point is, you not going to be driving around in your mint 325i and going 'i wish i had a 328' (you'll be going 'i wish i had an m3' in either). Its not like, say a GSR Vs. an Evo or something. I think most people would agree the difference is not that big. Personal opinion comes in a lot here. I would rather have a mint 325i with cool wheels, than a stock 328i. But then id rather have a 328i with cool wheel, But then id rather have an m3 with cool wheels, but then id rather have a e46 m3 with cool wheels, but then id rather have a gt3 with cool wheels, but then id rather have an.......... Debadge either and no one can tell the difference. Even better put a 328i badge on the 325i True they go that well? Open diff, automatic and detatched e36 handling detract tho. I'm not a hater. I'll be back in the e30 game....

i have a 323i, 320i and e46 330i at my house. IMO while there is a difference, they are all much a muchness around town/ doing light traffic work. Yes the bigger engined ones go better, but most people would struggle to tell the difference if blind tested.

The difference is so minimal. Its not like a 328i is a 'performance' car. If you follow that logic you may as well get an m3.

328's cost a bit more dont they? Id rather go for 325i and new wheels.

Well you talked me out of it there. You love red eh Andrew? That looks pretty tidy.

That sux. I thought as some offer JDM plates etc, they would have some different fonts.

Yeah thats what i had on my old car. Im a little more nervous about having it on my car now. There are a few 'europlate' pressers on the net. Anyone know if any of them do a strike through zero? The sites themselves dont reply to my ramblings!

Does anyone who has ordered have a zero in their plate? Next question is how does German Plates deal with zeros? NZ plates have a strike through the zero. German plates i got off another site have some sort of half arsed strike through, that kinda looks like a Q. Also if anyone is keen to get 'one' more plate, i'll only be ordering one...

By the sounds of this thread i sold my m325i waaaay too cheap.

Evo IV is the same price bracket as my car, not V. IV's are dogs IMO. I told them im not paying, and basically drove off. Wonder how much of a big deal they are going to make out of $100? I can see they are out of pocket for time, but i dont see how that is my problem. Especially when i ask, 'ok then what was actually wrong?' they say, 'ecu glitch' um, yeaaah...

Take it to turners quick!

Yeah but the prob is i IMO; they billed the warranty ppl the previous week for the job. So this is a 'new' claim. Excess is $100. I should tell them i want to make a 2nd claim, ill pay excess to warranty firm direct. Haha. (there is no way they will pay). For $100 eh? Risk future work of guaranteed likely subaru break downs? I need a $20k e30. Or maybe an m3. Either way im not bored with Subbie yet.

Best post title EVAR

Check this out. Take car to the mechanic as it was running poor. Missing, almost stalling etc. (My guess = HT leads) "Its your AFM," says mechanic. "But the warranty people want to use a reco part not a new one, and they are suppling it" Well thats kinda rude, but it has 12 month warranty, so whatever. Just fix it. Pay my excess of $1xx Pick it up, goes ok.... Hold on.... Its not. Now its running way too rich. Dirty black smoke when 2nd boosts. 1st is like lag, lag, lag, then MASSIVE smack hit of boost. Very jerky, backfire/spluttery etc. (I attempted an ecu reset at this point. Discon. batt. foot on the break, didnt make any difference?) Take it back and they reckon faulty 2nd hand AMF. The Part Supplier checks, and returns same unit confirming its OK. They reinstall, clear ECU, diagnostic. Runs 100%. Feels so good. Now they have a bill for waiting for "$100, reduced from $130 mate, just for time/labour" What do you do? Comments

Since being demoted, i didnt know i could change names. m325i
