I like the 255/35s on the back. Cars gravel driveway with sheep sh*t dirty sorry.

Nice. I fit 255/35 an 225/40 on my 269s. Tried 235/40 on the front but they looked weird.

Low mileage. Because they were so sh*t nobody wanted to drive it.

I was thinking about creating a Bimmersport award for Masochist of the year.

What about the BMW powered Daihatsu Rocky's? Named a Bertone Freeclimber and FreeClimber 2. https://www.drivingline.com/articles/bertone-freeclimber-was-bmws-first-suv-by-way-of-japan/ https://www.motor1.com/news/228017/bertone-freeclimber-for-sale/ Rarer. And no doubt just as rusty. Maybe I should just throw one of my BMW motors in my Rocky. Would be on the only one in NZ. AKA Daihatsu Rugger Daihatsu Rocky Daihatsu Fourtrak Daihatsu Taft Toyota Blizzard Bertone Freeclimber 2 And that's just the bigger one.

Wait. You're choosing the E30 over this? This E46 is unique and beautiful.

I feel ya.

Another you could try is Kerry from Mosens in Hamilton. He ran an E46 with M60's in the BMW Race series for a number of years. It was a GTR replica as such.

A good E34 while you can. Or an E87 for some fun.

One sold two weeks ago for $6k. Needed work but prob no more than your average E30 junk selling for $12K. The one that was listed for over $30K was immaculate. Every component was new or refurbished. Most other people I have spoken to got their 535is for less than 10K. However they are rare. Didn't exist outside of the UK, AUS, NZ and SA. IMO they are the best balanced E34 other than the M5. I still hate the steering box though. Yuck.

Yup I have the LK03's on my 130i now. They have been great on the crappy Wairarapa roads. Especially over the hill to Welly. Rain or shine. Very happy with them.

I agree. However if you are ordering from FCP just grab the coolant at the same time. Unless they are now charging a lot more for it now. It was $5 extra last time I got it. Saves having to go to supercheap.

@BM WORLD might be able to help. Otherwise there are plenty in the US. However people are after them now due to the whole adapter thing. Fit in pretty much any car.

Having owned a couple of M325i's I would take the E28 over one any day. Superior vehicle. Nearly as good as the E34.

Prob best to speak to HellBM. They did this conversion 6 or 7 years ago. To an E46 M3 Vert. But with the S62. Can't remember if they modified the subframe or used one from another car.

Also. These ones too. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-engine-coolant-hose-thermostat-to-water-pump-rein-crp-che0475 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vaico-bmw-engine-coolant-hose-17117524710 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-radiator-coolant-hose-z4-328i-328i-xdrive-128i-328xi-gat-23421 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-engine-coolant-hose-rein-17117524710 While you are at it. Get some proper coolant. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-coolant-antifreeze-82141467704

Really shitty plastic connectors where the hoses connect to the head. One of mine snapped off totally after some work at BMW - Perfect place to rest your hand, shitty crumbly plastic. 2nd hose connector had split and was just about to pop off when we caught it. This one. Replaces the sh*t plastic connector that WILL fail at some stage. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-coolant-hose-with-flange-rein-11537545890 And this one. Which fails where the hose connects to the "quick" connector. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-radiator-hose-upper-17127531579

Even in 2015 we were discussing that that car is probably the longest listed car on there. It was listed 12 years ago!

The questions already. Makes my blood boil. A hijacker trying to sell a pretty bad pplate. Someone asking a very f**king obvious question. And a know it all asking him to check the car for damage with zero intention to buy.

If you ever do race it. Go dry sump. Or have a number of spare motors.

11 year thread dig huh.

Not heard from him at all. Unfortunately unless it is a set in stone offer with a time and date I can no longer wait around. I'll only be angry if some scum dealer has snaked it to make a buck.

Not seen it yet so hopefully just a message to slow the wave of people.

That's good. Buyers are protected to an extent then.

I sent one pretty much the moment he listed it. He said he has had dozens of offers. Works tough hours. Hoping to see it tomorrow.
