  1. I'll try not to sound condescending, but... In many European countries, 25 years ago, and still today... 1. Petrol is very expensive. (small engine, less petrol) 2. They had/have high taxes on engines over 2000cc (eg Maserati bi-turbo. 2L specifically for this reason) 3. A big quiet car is nice to have... it will still go 150km/hr.. it just takes a while to get there. I've been driving a E36 318i for more than 20 years because 140hp is plenty.. it's quick enough, but easy to stay out of trouble.. it gets decent fuel economy. No one needs more than 100hp... it's a capitalist luxury.
  2. These came with a pair of HD Meyle control arms I bought from FCP for my E36 M3. I opted for solid rubber bushings instead of these. I assume these will fit any control arm as I used OEM type bushings on the arms these came with. Skunkworks wants $140 for similar (just the bushing, no mount). I'll sell these for $90 ono.
  3. Yeah, this missing engine covers really aren't a good look. Really.
  4. The suspension seems to be broken.😉😆🤣
  5. What's with the 'sore thump' stand out white trim bit above the mirror. That's not factory, is it?
  6. Well, there was the CC, and there's also fact that I'm a bit low on cash and garage space as no one seems to want to buy my very affordably priced and rare, E36 M3. 😀
  7. https://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=ghm265 It was some kind of very dark blue with a horrible red interior. A very weird combo, IMHO. Coupe, 40k miles, UK import. As a hopefully humous side note. I didn't call about it because it didn't have cruise control! WTF? I premium M car, from the UK. No CC? mdecoder report below.

  8. A dealer will have bought it by morning.
  9. Oh FFS. It's in the TITLE.. 'rear'. Really... you spell so bad you do it in the title?
  10. This is nice. Is this and other "BMW Special Part"? 😀
  11. Here's a dreamer! $15k for totally average manual 130i.🤣 He seems to have missed by approximately a factor of 2. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5454858003
  12. Like an idiot I ignored the rust spot on my hood for too long and how it past repair. If anyone has available or knows of an Arctic Silver hood please let me know. Thanks. I'm sure I couldn't got one at pick-a-part 3 years ago but now... E36s are scarce as.
  13. Boy... aren't we all. 😬🤷‍♂️
  14. Thanks. I forgot the relisting changes the link.
