I thought, aside from the silly write-up that this Trademe E30 looked neat so for the heck of it I searched it's factory spec. The cars registration says 325iaD 'RME' seems to be a form of biodiesel. Does anyone know what the deal could be here? Wrong record? I'm sure the trademe car must run on petrol, also another option, 'rear bench seat in fabric' is incorrect as it is in actual fact leather.

Very tasteful.

I would avoid the e90 until you want to pay for a perhaps second hand f30, I still prefer the look of an e46 to the e90, and they drive so so similarly

The only experience I have had was a 120i with 16" Continental runflats. Tracked really well not too harsh a ride with the runflats, then when replaced with conventional tyres it felt like it wandered a bit more on the road.

Provided it is an M20, and provided the pads on top of the valves have no indentation, a good valve adjustment fixes valvetrain noise. Properly adjusted valves still clearly have a noise, but it is a satisfying, efficient tappety tap. On a high km engine the rocker shafts could be worn.

Not bad. my mother will go for it. Then realise it has no boot space

Looking to get hold of some nice E46 alloys and tyres, 17 inch pref, preference to Msport and the like. Lower price range, I hadn't been looking to do this initially

Rest in peace mate

That embroidery is filthy- we know it's a BMW, almost as bad as BMW/ model designation personalised plates

Next model X5 being filmed down at the Squadron. German number plates etc. Looks nice, bit less brutish than current model

My old 20VT S4's 'needed' the front removed as well. an inline, longitudinal engine with all cylinders in front of the front axle!

Search this forum for BMW ASAP or BMW vin decoder... that will lead you to a how-to

Did I make a rare sighting of Gus yesterday on constellation about 320pm?

As far as I know it's correct. I remember in it's past life when it still had (painted over) original alpina stripes, boot spoiler and badging front and rear. There are people here who know more info.

The car was originally a genuine Alpina C1 2.3.

That was my mates dads car when I went to school when it was new! Numberplate was RANGI

Hey isn't that Emmas old car? had some 17 or 18 inch wheels on it?

I've had a few W124's and they have been the best cars I have ever owned. Much better than a 2001 W210 I had. They are technically very similar to the 190e so far as chassis goes. I havent owned a facelift 1993/4+ model with the wiring harness, perhaps just assume it is good? Problems I had were stretched simplex timing chain, cheap replacement, later duplex unaffected. The gear shift linkage bushes wear but are cheap/free. As any larger car, suspension wears. Rear carrier (trailing??) arm bushes wear causing a squeak and forward/aft play. Front strut mounts wear. Centre cabin vent adjustment can break making it hard to open/ shut off air flow. I cant think of anything else, they are wickedly solid and really nice to drive.

Hey leave keri alone! haha. Down mums Dr alone there's a new S4, a new XJ, a new Gti, a Q7.... None of which i'm too keen on mind you. Back to theme of posts, yes stay BMW, second hand Audis can be a b*tch!

I think I saw the wagon of original post today at the supermarket in Keri!

Legally yep, danger to public safety

Great car, I prefer the bright highlight of original silver wheels on any car over black. Black to me looks cheap and tasteless.

Aaaactually upon reading a comment later than my last, a memory stirs of the 120i not being a practical car to 'zip' around in as you sort of wear it to an extent, with small glass areas and generally bad vision.
