I'm selling mine soon (with tyres) when I can source some 18's. Around that price bracket.

Can you PM me? I'll be keen. Cheers

Alarm bells sound for me as soon as I read "Joshua Motors". With a basic name like that you obviously can't care about your business too much. And the image of the place when you google it confirms this. Go to places like - Bavarian Motors - Burgers Motor Works - Bellars I guess there's no such thing as a cheap service etc unless you're doing it yourself but these specialists are cheaper than dealerships. I google/youtube everything whenever I need to do something to my car that I'm not sure of. Another tip is to get them to quote you before any work is done, and get it in writing. You can save a lot of money by ordering parts yourself online even if you don't do the labour side yourself. Parts out of the US etc are so much cheaper. One example was that I needed a new ECU a few years back, genuine ECU was $2,500 and ended up sorting my own race ECU from the states for $500 NZD. You can also buy airbag light delete kits online for around $50 lol. I suggest only going down that route once you know its just a dodgy light and your airbags will still actually work. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks. Stencils and tyre paint. It drys quite hard so you can chip it if you're not careful. If you don't daily your car it stays fine. I'm thinking about taking it off, not sure if I like it

Do you still have your ACS wheels by any chance? Wanna sell?

Looking good man. Can't go wrong with grey

Flipped EZ Lip. Best $50 you'll spend! Obviously its purely aesthetic but it looks really good and so easy to do. I looked pretty far and wide for an actual gurney flap and they're so hard to source.

Haha kind of an inside joke with me and some mates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok_E8mbC1II

Cheers. Yep the US spec has the least power, but a great base for modification. Basically an M50 with a larger displacement and bigger cams - hence why they make the lowest power. It also means you can do more to wake them up! Even simple mods like air intake, cams, headers, injectors, ecu remap takes it to over 300hp relatively easily and doesn't cost the earth either. Headers and a carbon fibre air box have already been done. My E30 325i vert came to life after adding a 288 Schrick Cam, Schrick Valve springs, Headers, ECU remap etc.

Everyone has a different opinion. Mine being the level of desirability is in proportion to that of the year of manufacture. The older the better.

It's funny you mention the rear height, I've already raised it since the photos! I just calculated a little too low to begin with. Sitting about 8mm higher now.

Just a quick before and after of my M3 since I took ownership. Added: Rear wing extension Roof spoiler Red BBS centres BC Gold coilovers Tyre graphics Europlate ex Germany 20mm Wheel spacers Air freshener (strawberry)

Could have been a cracked air flow hose too. common on E36 and feels like you've dropped a cylinder. The link has expired but i think if it was a green one it was CRZYARAB's one. After driving both E36 and E46 M3's, I liked them both. I chose an E36 because they're older and I prefer the styling. They just feel more special to me. Also less to go wrong.

This guy has heaps of listings on TradeMe. Some of his cars have been on there since 2007. It's almost a car museum, I'm kind of keen to go down there just to look at them all in person. These are the best ones: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-102709625.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mercedesbenz/auction-102709635.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-105483039.htm

You've probably got a turbo that's dosing - is it similar to this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qApXcIgrF8 -

Hi guys, This very rare set is reluctantly up for sale as I have decided to keep my BBS on my M3. These wheels will fit your E46 perfectly, sitting flush with the guard. They can also fit E36 with 10mm slip on spacers. Wheels: Schmidt AH Race 2000 5x120 18x9" +50 Front 18x10.5" +40 Rear Tyres: 235/40/18 Front 265/35/18 Rear Tyres have loads of tread on them. The wheels do have curb marks, mainly on the rears due to being so wide! See photos for worst of it. I reckon they should be painted gunmetal/black anyway.. No cracks or buckles. Photos 3 and onwards are other images of exactly the same wheels. Pick up is on the North Shore. Price $1,000 FIRM. Feel free to research these wheels, you will see what they sell for overseas. PM me / reply here. Cheers.
