Geez how the might do fall. How much was this car new? $120k?

I think you mean 800Nm... 800kw would be very special. 😉

I was going to change the spark plugs on my 95 M3 but have been thwarted by 2 of the bolts on the cover. Some @$#@%#$ person put them on too tight and they will not come loose. Obviously, I have stripped the allen heads, what else could I do? My next thought it to try to drill off the heads but I thought I see if there were any better advice on how to get them off... Your thoughts please...

Nice contradiction in the ad. It says it's not registered but then in the Q/A it says has rego and wof... so which is it?

When was the last time anyone saw an imperial nut/bolt? Seems a waste to put all those useless bits in there. Or do I live under a rock? GLWS

Gosh that's temping... so surprised you can't move this.

I hate the sunroof, since he asked... but otherwise a tidy car.

*This* is Gangsta. Bad mod city. Are there even springs in the back? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/528i/listing/4449159223

No one bid on this! I need more time of figure out if I need/should/can buy it! 😀

I, too, am tempted.. even though it's not local. Would some one local like to have a look at it for me? I spoke to the seller, he's hoping for $6k so... hmmm.

I don't see any issue with this. He's putting in the effort so he can profit from it. I do have an issue with who cut a hole in the hood of a 3.0? Just needs a piece of steel and it was handy?

Three pedals good, two pedals bad. 😀

Right down to the auto 'box. 👎

I will assume it is not manual...

This car is still in its depreciation period. Also, these cars do not have the cache of earlier (pre-2003) M cars, being high maintenance and (IMHO) not very good looking. Also, it's SMG...ugh. But that's might be just me.

Great car in a great colour, I almost bought one 15 years ago (LHD). But... -it's missing the factory radio -has a LOT of kms -has EDC, not a plus in my book as it will definitely need replacing/removing at some point, if it even works now. The 91 was on TM for along time at $45k... no sure if it sold. It only had 160k kms.

Holly invasion of privacy Batman! Shocking the things you can learn from google streetview. A mafia boss, on the run for 20 years, was caught after being spotted on steetview. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/05/italian-mafia-fugitive-arrested-in-spain-after-google-maps-sighting (sorry for off topic)

Do tell?!?!

Thanks for the explanation, I understand now. However, this car has been written off (according to carjam) so would it still serve this purpose? If you put the vin on another car it would need a re-cert to be road worthy. Hard to hid the changed vin, wouldn't it be?

This homie doesn’t know what that means. Or is this sarcasm?

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4199021312 There's nothing M3 left on it. It's a bare E46 body shell... you can buy a whole working E46 for $3000...why would anyone buy this? What am I missing?

The interior isn't Black! By gawd, man, now can that be! It's a beauty. (Tip: I am no fan of black interiors)

Here's another twist. I emailed the M5 owner asking if he'd trade for my M3... here's the response. "I’ve always wanted an M3 but at the moment it’s the space I need." If he needs space... why did he buy it in March?

I will take this. DM sent.

Amen, brother.
