CSET

Sure it's not a drive belt Mike? Otherwise could be tensioner or pulley? I've read up on this a little, there's a couple of people offshore who've reported a similar noise on the e39 540 and it's turned out to be the water pump.

Don't know the story, but chances are the engines are poked (from the aluminium intake piping in the boot & how high it's riding at the front). Paint would be well stuffed, but those panels look straight. Better they're going to the parts market than getting crushed for scrap.

Black M3 Yep I went and looked at this one too after driving past it each day for a month - unfortunately it's in quite shabby condition. It's also been for sale for a fair while. Insurance on my M3 isn't bad compared to quotes I've seen for less powerful vehicles (I'm <30 years old too). Hang out for the right one - they're popping up more and more frequently since Xmas it seems - maybe the E92's are becoming an affordable upgrade? I'm seeing lots more of these on the road now too.

IMO, the Tilux is far, far worse than the e46 compact. I know they have a cult following, so I'm cringing in anticipation of the replies.

Mmmm

Seems like a bloody good buy!

If it helps... my most recent Honda had chrome window trim from factory... and I was lucky to find my other two Hondas with black trim (as most were chrome)! I like black trim, but it's personal preference Your car looks stunning with either, to be honest.

Love the rim lips - there can't be many around like that!!!!

Yep, daily driver with pretty high camber and no track time planned in the short term. Gotta be practical for now. Besides, it seems to handle fine for what I need at the mo'. Definitely the first on the list when its a weekender.

Cor, that's really nice of you - thanks Hybrid! I'd drop you a PM

I approve of this purchase - for the sole purpose of a photoshoot

Not at the mo' - I don't really know my way around a camera so all of these are cell phone pics. I plan to talk nicely to someone to get some decent photos sometime!

Thank you mate! Car Folie did a great job mid-week tinting the windows. This is the fifth car I've had tinted, and in fact the fifth place I've been to for window tinting. After meeting Seth and seeing the results from his team's work - I simply wouldn't go anywhere else. While they were tinting the car, I spied a car they were wrapping in the background. I got into talking with Seth about roof wraps, which I hadn't really considered before. Lo and behold, the car was booked back in on Friday to get the roof done. I didn't like the thought of gloss, matte is a bit dull against the paint and I thought CF-look film might look a little off. Seth recommended Satin black - which turned out bloody good!

They did mine today, great work and an awesome result as I'm sure you'll all agree!

Yep one to watch. He's reinforced the subframe too. No mention of any SMG work though. Sounds well looked after, full receipts avail.

Sounds good to me. I feel the standard DSC can be very restrictive; even unsafe at times. Is this something you've done before? I'll PM you.

Can you edit buy now price if there are no bids? If so, chances are he's sold them externally already. Otherwise, he's just trying it on.

Holy crap Ray, glad you're all ok and your stock isn't damaged.

I quite like it on the Renault - if the mirrors and air-dam were painted red to match I reckon it'd look great. Like a 'special edition' of sorts.

Go on...? What does this do? The 'sport' button on mine currently only changes the throttle response. I think I've turned it on twice in a year.

Sheesh that's not long - I suppose you'd get quick at it after doing it 50 times or so! Mine's booked in Wednesday, can't wait.

hahahaha how do you stuff up THAT bad. ... those French try to hump anything ...

Lol

Heh, thanks mate! I can't remember where we were going that day - probably just enjoying the stunning weather! Be sure to give me a toot next time! Clutches are expensive... To be honest, we really need to get our A into G, but there's no point if she's not driving it each day (for a while at least).

Very, very nice!!
