now... and then

Glad to see a man's put a tow bar on his M5...makes it more practical

+2 m3 all the way...not a huge fan of any of the zed cars, they look um gay

They don't appear to be a very friendly bunch these 7 series owners mate... oh well good luck anyway

jump on u tube there is a guy on there posting all the races...a day late but better than never. I refuse to get sky... bloody rip off

look lets be honest, there arn't many "true" Motorsport cars now. Because back in the day a motorsport car was assembled in a seperate motorsport factory...virtually hand built, numbered and with limited runs. Which is what made them desirable and collectable. You see a lot of 318 e46 with body kits and flash wheels that make 'em look hard, but a bog standard e46 325 up, or in fact just about any car is gonna smoke 'em... anyway it doesn't really matter eh, xmas is nearly here and the suns out..finally

um...standard set up; Style 16, 16 x7 et 20 with 245 50 16 r and 225 55 16 fr...the fronts have signifacantly more wear than the rears by the way...the car handles and travels nicely on these tho as in foto.. style 118, 18 x 8 et14..with 245 45 18...off a e60, the car handles ok, but travels like a boat

..... what am I missing by not having a clutch pedal true skill : :lol:D

As for putting M3 badges on anything other than a genuine M3, that is blaspemy to me. It is just about all I can do to stop myself ramming the E46 318i Wagon that has an M3 badge on the boot when I see it most mornings!! I agree...there's a bloke floating around my area with a 535 diesel with an M5 badge on the boot lid...I mean who's he kidding.. anyway my car has a m badge on it but i refuse to take it off... 'cause it looks cool bro

yeah bro..

the flared nostril things just wrong...

thanks mate, that site is good...the wheels in the foto are 18 x 8 et 14 and only just "squeak" inside the guards...so a 17 x 8.5 et13 will probably rub

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=53570695...bc=&ct=link Seller quotes size as 8 1/2 Jx17ft13 does ft13 represent an offset of 13?... also...e34 540 has an offset of 20... if one now puts wheel with an et of 14, will make the car feel like a bucket of bolts...or could be the tyres doing that, (old 3/4 worn Bridgestone "runflats")?

Style 118... ... yep

ah...yeah

Specifically I am looking at e30's but would be interested to hear opinions relating to all models e34, e36, e46 etc It Good news , Ive had one of each of those, 2 imported (E30 E36), 2 NZ new. All have been are reliable mechanically, All have been "tidy," except the trim fell off the e36. All have been great to own, to drive, get parts for,etc etc.. better than a Tatty Toyota or a Crusty Commdore any day of the week They have another thing in common tho... dodgey smelly crappy aircondition units.. Anyway, use your guts, instincts that is, seen me in good stead...so far

Just a heads up... if your in the market for a late model 3series (E90) and/or z4s with manual gear boxes. Get yourself down to 4Guys Te rapa Hamilton. They have a good selection there at the moment. I was in there yesterday...impressed

Count me in. I'd want some too...if the price is right

nice ... um how do you guys do the, link, this, here, thing to link to, er... things?

You've got your self a good honest car there...plus manual BMWs are the ducks nuts. Good luck to you

Mr Bangles finest?...

Mr hybrid is a man of great wisdom

Trying to get hold of a 3 spoke airbagged MotorSport steering wheel that was optioned on later E34's...My existing 4 spoker (standard) belongs in a cattle truck!!
