    Quick rant thread.

    Most Japanese cars are boring and don't have soul. Especially new ones.

    Spotted one for you today. Good looking blonde driving a newer Megane Turbo.

    Netflix content

    Netflix is great for re-runs. I have had the US Netflix for a long time. To be honest I could ditch it and never miss it. I still download all the latest shows.

    Mmm

    Some nice parts on it. Shame its a 4 door though. 4 door E30's are great for racecars but crap for carting passengers. Less room than a coupe.
  5. DO NOT get an RS4. You WILL regret it. They pretty much keep Qualitat in business with gearbox and cooling system replacements.
  6. So BMW is saying it is okay to misrepresent your BMW. The thing we all hate. M badges for everyone!!!!!!! Doing a VAG and diluting the brand. Too many models.
  7. You could not pay me to own anything from VAG group. The horror stories of service costs and that always present fear your gearbox is going to explode. Guy at work has his RS4 getting a new box. I think he was looking at well over $10K. But I agree with the BMW model numbers. 'Equivalent to' is a stupid way of doing it. Yes the E36 323i's and E39 540's from the 90's were not actually 2.3ltr and 4ltr motors. But they were close to what they were. Why not just a 320t for a 2ltr Turbo. Or the 330tt for the 3ltr twin turbo. While they are at it they can get rid of the 4 series. Everyone said you would get used to it. That never happened. Would take the proper M3 any day.
  8. There is a bare shell with cage for sale on that race car website Jon.
  9. Isn't the "Sport" mod on an E60 exactly the same as putting the car in tiptronic mode?
  10. Make sure you are there on the test day then. Hasn't finished a race since the Turbo "upgrade". James and I were quite a bit faster in James 3.2ltr E30 than it at Puke. They did have issues though and didn't turn up to the race. But they will get it right. They car is an amazing piece of work up close. Would have cost a house to build (Not Auckland).
  11. Go for the E34. Non Msport E60's are meh and the price of them is still plummeting which in turn will plummet the E39 even further. I have owned all three. Only E60 I was interested in was the 530D. I still own this car and am still amazed at how it drives whenever the Mrs lets me drive it . My E34 is a race car and is great fun. My E39 540 was okay but I sold it when I got bored of it which didn't take long. The E60 is far superior to the E39 in every way though. The E34 does have some soul. They do feel a little dated now but are solid and reliable cars. Models such as the 535is are starting to go up in value for nice ones like the one you are interested in. If I had sold my E30 by now I was going to buy that E34.
  12. There was one for sale on Bimmersport for $18K only 5 years back before the hype. It resold a few years ago for $30K.
  13. Reminds me of the US Dream Team. Which doesn't work at all.
  14. 4 hours to go. Wonder what the race will be like at the end.
  15. Meh. Spend double the money and get a proper E30. http://racecarsdirect.com/listing/56656/bmw_e30_m3_dtm.html Who wants to put around the street in something that should be screaming on track. Or spend less and have just as much fun. http://racecarsdirect.com/listing/56975/bmw_e30_m3_evo_race_car.html

    Quick rant thread.

    Boxing is sh*t. How someone can claim they are the greatest boxer in the world yet they only pick and choose who they fight and stick to weight classes so they can't be outdone by a more manly man. Put Wladimir Klitschko in front of Mayweather. See who is great after that fight.
  17. Still rather the M30 Turbo version for sale on TM. Much nicer car. All BMW too.
  18. Check your Ebay settings. As there is a few on there. Ran into this issue before. Sign up and make sure you default address and location is the US. A couple of people are dreaming though.
  19. Guts shame mine was out of action for so long ah. Sorry man.
  20. Considering the manual conversion in it would go for $1200 on its own.
  21. Would have been someone who has no idea what it is. Many a car dealer falls for an incorrectly listed model. They forget if it is too good to be true then....
  22. The Mrs loves them on a cold morning. Wasn't happy when the car I purchased didn't have them.
  23. Milan might if he comes on and sees this post.
  24. Even my one which is from Christchurch and the West Coast doesn't have heated seats. So strange.
  25. Tried just a little heat? Or is it too close to the lens? Maybe hold the tip of a soldering iron on the screw to heat just that point.
