Yeah they are fantastic. Very comfortable and very fast. From what I know, the gearboxes and engines are fine, its just the electrics to watch out for. Make sure you test everything. Even the smallest electrical glitches can be expensive. As I've said, stick with NZ new. I would also advise hanging out for the right colour combo - black interior is a must and a dark exterior is desirable. Also, stay away from IL's - they are simply too big and won't fit in the average garage, thus are less desirable on the used market.

They are a fantastic underrated car, which are excellent value at the moment. My preference would be with NZ new. Having a good hunt through TM shows them not to be much more expensive than a Sing equivalent. Also, with NZ new you will get some sort of assurance all the servicing has been done and all software upgrades were completed. No matter what you look at buying, make sure it gets taken to a authorised BMW dealer (not a backyard one, but a franchise) for a full check.

So it finished at $17k... Seems like quite a lot considering the issues and the strange wof / reg status.

Yeah, I was in histerics too. Did they not think they would get covered in flying chunks of whale meat???

Was "4DAHOZ" on a dirty Merc 560SEL?

Benz SL500 on TM Check out the pics... Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Damn good effort though!

For the true fan? Or lowering the quality of the BMW brand? Ouch

Good choice. I don't know of any for sale, but do beleive they will be a true classic in years to come. If I could get my hands on one, I would love a 323i. A couple of years ago a mate of mine looked at an ex-Michael Hill one in black with factory body kit, it was mint too.

What are your top picks at the moment?

Worth a look... Video link Typical Americans!

Damn I've always wanted to start a thread which boasts about my 12 inch member...

Corporate lawyer. No company car. I used to be a car dealer, where I was given very nice company cars...

I have a better one.... A young ventriloquist was doing a show in Accrington . With his dummy on his knee, he started going through his usual dumb blonde jokes, when a blonde in the second row stood on her chair and started shouting: 'I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes,' she screamed. 'What makes you think you can stereotype women in that way? What does the colour of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's people like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as people. It's all because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general - and all in the name of humour.' The embarrassed ventriloquist began to apologise, whereupon the blonde yelled, 'You stay out of this. I'm talking to that little bastard on your lap.

Did your mate end up buying it?

Hmmm... nice to meet you Maybe stick to your Windom, could be a better pimp-mobile

If it was tidy, i'd hit it. I think its been for sale for a while, slowly dropping in price each time its relisted. Has anyone looked at it? No leather, but some nice alloys. TradeMe It wasn't that long ago that people got this sort of money for E36's

Very strange... I had an M50 and I know they are chain driven! I meant to write chain driven, but something weird happened...

Its called multi-tasking... Supposedly studying on the computer, with a Bimmersport screen minimized and the TV on in the background. My study efficiency seems to have fallen by the way side a bit though Thanks for the offer Simon, but I have a fantastic girlfriend

On Motorway Patrol tonight, the programme opened with a muppet in his black E46 getting clocked at 178km/h. Didn't have a model designation badge, but had big deep dish spokey wheels (bling bling). The retard was a disqualified driver too - bye bye licence, bye bye E46. Anyone know this cat?

Nice being manual and NZ new. I think $7k would be absolute tops for it though. Chain driven. Not sure if this is Vanos being a '93 though...

On closer inspection, you are correct. I think I need my eyes tested...

Not sure on the pimp-daddy white wall tyres...

I know. I'm taking the piss.

Thought you would be more into the Altezza style Simon...

Patience for what?? In all honesty, trademe will be your best bet. Unless someone on here wants to sell some secondhand
