E46 M3 wheel at Pick-a-part Takanini Style 67 I saw this at pick-a-part Takanini yesterday, thought I'd post it in case anybody wants it. They charge $60 for 'any wheel in the yard'. It's a bit rough but it's a real 'M' BMW wheel 18x9, near as I can tell. I put it in the back of car 307. You're Welcome. 🙂 photo1 photo2 photo3 photo4

Who wants black on black?!? Boring. I have the best M5 in NZ! Oxford green with Nappa Heritage/caramel leather. I might consider offers around $70k.... wait, no thanks.😀 (Is mine the only with this colour combo in NZ?)

Holy Irony Batman! The car owner who sued the dealer is Maxwell FLAWS.🤣 The car had some flaws and Flaws had the car.😂 Does anyone believe that the dealer didn't know the car was written off? I don't. What I don't understand is why the settlement was reduced because he had driven for 16 months. The question was not about its current value but about the value when he purchased it. The court ruled he was over charged by $9500, why is it relevant that time had passed since the sale?

This is a good point, but how do you convince them it doesn't need changing?

Lovely! Timeless. If only it were manual. GLWS

Yes, thank you for your observation. I am only thinking of changing because my local WOF shop is, I believe, overly zealous and have said my rack may fail soon because of 'end play'. This seems crazy to me as it only has 135k kms on it. This is a bit off topic, but is this 'end play' a known issue? My 318i has >250k kms and it passes fine.

What car is this from? Will it fit a Z3 2.8? Thanks.

I agree completely. These are completely different beasts/buyers. Especially because you can't get an E60 with a manual transmission. The rules it out right there, and it's not nearly as good looking as the E39.

TheTM ad says ‘5 speed’. Nice attention to detail. 🤦‍♂️

It's automatic, so no.🤣

What's the fuel economy, if you stay off the boost? Call it, motorway fuel economy.

135i yes? Not 130i?

My car has a cover over (under?) the subwoofers in the rear parcel shelf, in the truck. Or are those not the OEM subwoofers?
