My point is that any seller should be optimising their chance of a sale. It's got nothing to do with whether I (or somebody else) can find it, it's how easy they can find it. Look up the research on how many people ever see more than the first page of results for any given Google search. I'm not sure I get the connection. The seller would (I say "should") a) know what they're selling and the target market, and b) put "E46" in the title themselves. e.g. "2003 BMW E46 M3 (Manual) (Topaz)" would get a hit for any relevant search. The problem there is that none of them come up with "E46 M3" so further filters don't help. I do realise you can find them, I did indeed find them, it's just that they not optimised for being found. My original point being that they should be at the top of the list for a search for "E46 M3", that they don't even show up on the list at all is a seller oversight.

No, I disagree. If you're looking for an e46 M3 you know that's precisely what you're looking for and will search for that first. Of course it's relevant for the reasons you point out - "M3" by itself is useless, I needed to search for "BMW M3" and sort by price to find these ones. That's poor SEO defined.

The blue one has fabric (half leather) seats, never seen that before. And they all need SEO training - not a single one of them comes up using the search term 'e46 M3',

Traction control in a 1992 E36? I don't think so... introduced circa 1996. What does the warning light depict?

Not sure what you're comparing it to but it's 400% more expensive than the green stuff from various brands. Yep, four times the price.

It's a stupid, meaningless, naff name. Sounds like a special edition somebody would put out for a F&F movie. Also the two words, "Black" and "Fire", are utterly meaningless together unless it's referring to a cartoon character (but that's one word). We should have seen this coming when some idiot decided to incorrectly call a 4 door car a coupe. They're clearly being led by a misguided marketing team. BMW was better when they were engineering led.

I remain sceptical about the "only use BMW coolant" message. It stands to reason that there are millions of BMWs out there that aren't using BMW coolant and aren't falling apart as a result. But I'm a bit of a fence sitter also, I use BMW coolant in the M3 and regular green coolant in the 328.

That's not Lotus White...

Anyone know if you could actually drive production models of that ^ with the doors down? Side intrusion anybody?

This guy got laughed out of here when he said he was going to do it. Then he did it. And now people don't believe him? Good work Hyde, keep it up I say.

I know, and did you listen to the mad audio? Batshit.

Wow...

Early on in my career, in the 90's I had some responsibility in the creation of the NHI. That was meant to fix so many of these problems and 20 years on? Not so much. But, individual exceptions aside, we are blessed with our public health system. In comparison to many other developed countries, even OECD countries we do pretty well. Could it be better? Of course.

"Only known issue is a minor leak from the washer fluid bottle." ?????????

I like the optimistic title on that video "Misfire Issue". It sounds like it's running on marbles. If yours sounds like that Cody I hope you brought it from a dealer and if so, take it straight back for a CGA refund.

What's an "M3 Pure" BTW? We saw an X5 "Black Fire Edition" or something like that the other day. FFS BMW, pull your heads in and get some class.

Sounds bad-arse actually... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_D_(film)#Plot

In macroeconomic terms this is correct, it's NZ's main and 'forever' problem. As much as I hate to admit it, a common trade union with Australia (as in collective trading power), ultimately to encompass the wider south pacific would benefit NZ economically and also buttress the region against strategic investment from those looking for influence. ?‍? But that's a 20 year vision, it's not going to help us with our shipping tomorrow!

Welcome Keith, I grew up on the Shore. Nice, straight looking car with a fantastic engine.

Astonishingly when I lived in Europe "bump parking" was a real thing and many people thought nothing of it. I was horrified.

Nice one Hugo and welcome, I look forward to seeing your beast at one of our Auckland catch-ups!

Nice one Angus and welcome. That looks very tidy and for 800 bucks sounds like a steal. Especially since you enjoy it already. Welcome to the E36 family.

From the front it reminds me a little of the GT40. I'd never heard of if and it makes for interesting reading. Based on a 2800 sedan (and it's a two door)... only one ever made.

Woah, is that a real BMW?
