Completely jealous. What a classic BMW
-
My e36 318 coupe came with kingstars which had fine tread but were ALL age damaged with serious cracks and finitely localised perish bulges on 2 of them. Went and got 4 new pirellis quick smart (and became very very poor). Genuinely sh*t tyres.

Its a lot easier to justify than spending it on something new!

Beautiful car. I agree that it would be a good idea to leave it mostly how you have it now. I have been down the same track with my now ex- E30 and realised that I needed to stop as cars like these will never be a manual 330i. I was happy in the end that these cars have features and likeable things that the 330 will never have.

On the 2002 there was an italic/ calligraphy 'touring' badge.

fitted new quarter window seals and sill seals to my e36 coupe. sh*t! what a job when I didnt know how to fit them, + a few beers. Got there very nicely in the end. Learning more and more about e36's and how the plastics just arent like they were in e30's.

The old Bonito Hydrolifts are also very very good boats. They did a larger one (21ft IIRC) but rare and too heavy for you to tow.

I dont think you can get immaculate for 20k.... But you can still get a perfectly good: 1. Haines V198 (killer sea boat with a 220 yamaha on back) 2. An old Smuggler asking for a 225hp outboard swung out on a pod. Dream hull, heavy and very deep. 3.Figlass Viscount (fantastic hull, tiny bit lighter than the haines and timeless styling) 4.Vista Craft 17'6" (grand hull, strong as hell, not too big) 5. Morgan 6.3 (fantastic big volume sea boat, huge vee, heavy as hell) Buy one of those, immediately.

You have a really nice car there, clean your wheels! Rat is out

Looking beautiful, fantastic taste which is rare. Edit: You are also a very good car photographer. No graffiti'd background or unreal location in sight, and just a really nice shot.

Cool and comparably well priced compared to what some seem to be advertised for! I would however have to disagree that black on black is a nice colour. It just happens to sell well to the masses who are lacking individuality and original taste. (EDIT: That comes off a little fresh; I don't mean to offend anyone.)

SOLD pending payment tomorrow

+1. Keys aren't that dear from BMW anyway

Hi guys, I have my 318i up on trademe. As much as I love the car and don't mind at all if she doesnt sell, I need a car with air conditioning for long distance driving this summer. Failing a sale she will be put with the rest of the fleet in a shed and I will have to scab a car from parents. Trademe link

Must have been a grey period, as I had an 'R' plated vanos E36
-
I had an uncle with a 4 door one who had it done on his back whenevner. I don't think it's a car that needs heated debate mind, a tweaked engine alone doesn't add much value if any to a car like these. Also aside from receipts from a workshop, anyone with half a brain can guess that there will not be any other evidence, and certainly not on its rego.

Probably is real, there was a pretty available light conversion kit for them- it certainly makes it more interesting
-
I haven't been reading the news much lately on the Rena grounding, however 'just thought I would point out that this is not the oil you put in your car, nor crude oil.... It is HFO which needs to be heated to actually be any thinner than marmite. It was never going to spill all over the sea once the heating was cut.
-
Why do I think that a few BMW models are starting to lack essential detail on the nose? Perhaps it's just the way that car style/fashion is going
-
That is very cool. So sick of all the trademe-ers saying that their mercs and audis and bmw's with double glazing are bullet-proof. that car really IS bullet proof!
-
That is one seriously ugly porsche... good taste seems to have left it behind a LONG time ago
