Evo 7 full of problems, avoid! Go for 8 or 9. Having said that, more power can be extracted from the evo X. I had a TME, loved it.

Just watched the vid, nicely shot and different models explained. Yep I miss the rawness of my E46M3 and funny me mentioned that the E92 feels slow. I thought the same thing.

Get a couple of rubbish sacks..the lined ones. Go to air liquide and get dry ice pellets in them.

Bet you are glad you got the PPI done. Even though you would be covered by the CGA if you had purchased the vehicle it would have no doubt ended in a sh*t fight being decided by the disputes tribunal. Head aches you don't need really.

Hi ya James, It's Dan here... Des's son with MTHREE. Welcome to the forum

Congrats on the 335, great looking and performing car.

PM me the details of the E46 M3.. if it's my old one I will let you know about everything.

I looked over it as well, like others have mentioned it is a bit rough. Haven't had it on a hoist so haven't checked bushes and other consumables. Would expect at those k's bushes and shocks are a deff replace if haven't been done already. Could be up for clutch as well and have rear subframe checked obviously. Good you will have some protection buying from a dealer should things go pear shaped. CGA ftw

I have used turner Motorsport for buying shocks and they ship to NZ. Quick shipping and good service.

They are very reliable. Spoke with transmission solutions recently and tech said the new product is superior to the vw group dsg. I've had the oil changed in mine recently at bmw and the dealer who told you it's over a grand is bull shitting you. They are a wet clutch system so can handle a lot.

I couldn't live with myself putting 91 in my M car.. I mean heck..I don't even put it in my v6 odyssey DD. Even the lawn mower gets 95 haha.

I never ran my E46 M3 on 95, sometimes on the Gull Force 10 product but I would get less fuel economy on the Gull product. If I remember correctly the E36 M3 with the evo engine had a sticker on the fuel gauge which said use 98 octane. Even my shitty Honda Odyssey gets fed 95 octane, in the owners manual thats the minimum RON to run on it. V6 Odyssey.

GT Refinishes on Walls Road Penrose. Grant is the owner. They do a lot of show cars. Good pricing. EuroTech, Sylvia Park Road. Very good work. Not cheap. They are the only BMW i Car panel & paint repairer

Just a random question to the OP.. Any reason why you don't run your M3 on 98 octane?

Have to agree with huff3r and kiwi535, 50 clicks above traffic speed whilst lane splitting is a recipe for disaster and probably pisses off cage drivers more than meandering past about 20-30 clicks. Some drivers are great with checking mirrors and giving a little extra room and then there are a few wankers that will do fake lane changes or try and squeeze you. At a set of lights it's a lot safer for the motorcyclist to filter to the front of the line. It prevents the rider from being rear ended by a distracted driver and allows a car to take the space that the bike would have occupied. The bike should be able to clear the intersection before becoming an obstruction to vehicles around them. Lane filtering has now become legal in NSW and in California it's a requirement that you move out of the way of a lane splitting motorcyclist. Anyway... my 10 cents.
