Having owned neither car, ill say the golf. They are reliable, and have nice neutral- looks. The 306 really is a bit gay looking. My grandmother has had 5 new peugeots in a row, and has had problems with them all- including (even within a few months new) -Remote locking on 505gti always locked itself -309 had some form of engine troubles i cant remember -306 had cooling problems i think -406 had elec problems with gauges etc -307 has had major gearbox problems, and general lack of power in engine, not even pug in france can identify the prob, and after 'fixing' it, its bad again now. She is planning on looking at a new Golf. Mums partner has a Golf GTi turbo manual- it has really good fuel econ, and the only problem he has ever had was the drivers window motor clapped out in some way. (hes looking at trading now too) VW golfs just have the better rep/ image im sure.

M5 definitely... who wants an auto, non sport seated alpina anyway.

Engine looks like mine.... is it by any chance a Motronic 1.0? or is it the 1.1 which i know was definitely in at least the later year FL cars... Im very keen on a Motronic 1.0 ECU

I'll agree in the 4- 5k bracket, only because a newer NZ new 318 manual recently sold for 4.5k, i had a look at it, and wasnt really prepared in the end to pay much more than 4 for it.... 5.5 max? In saying that, it could probably be sold for 6k to the right buyer.

my tips come out at an angle too! bit larger diameter, and no rear kit though.

Knee caps huh

HB fool Slave trade FTW

Thats f**king hilarious

Air intake takes about 5 min to remove, and throttle takes about 1- 2 min! undo the screws on the TPS and set it to its minimum on closed throttle so that when it begins to open, you hear a click.

VERY nice wheels man, and nice price! looking good

Correct

Well he seems to be wanting no less that $700? The bargaining process requires the prospective buyer to first make an offer!

Where i used to work we would just be sent the new (usually E46 M3- they crapped out all the time) block/ head etc and put all the working parts of the old one onto it, and send the broken engine back to Germany. I suspect these were all under warranty however.

Rotorize

I would be quite sure that it'd have a good history, i get the feeling that the place selling it are people who take trades from main BMW dealers. (in saying that, BMW dealers flog off cars that they dont want this way) nath~

Happy birthday man, have a great day!

I had no idea that motorsport racing parts had part numbers. Learn something new every day i guess! And righto, so they have different part numbers- who exactly has this threads critical point been made to? Seems like it has turned into a "POW, take THAT people who think you know BMWs!" thread!

as above, pm me, cheap or free! TPS wouldnt go amiss either....

Yes those are alpina spoilers AS WELL. i used to have that style of spoiler, and i want it back! The lip pic i posted on this thread is ALSO al E30 alpina lip

Either way, that car looked great! Is the 325i a white SE? The Alpina cars spoiler is an Alpina jobby

Thought it was this, He- man.

Is that Tech 1 spoiler, or Alpina?

Firstly have you checked your fuses and relays?

Can somebody tell me EXACTLY where the engine number on an M20 is? i have ideas coming from all angles, but still cant see it
