What track did you do?? Is that a 135i?

Yea, M&T are good like that. I contacted the importer and this is what he gave me.. Thoughts on pricing? Thank you for your inquiry. For WOLF in mesh style, we have WOLF MRM PCD 4-100/4-114.3. Photo attached. The available size is 16x7.5 +30 and 16x9 +15. The price in staggered fitment $ 2,200.

Gotta look out with them, I had them size up some wheels for my E60, he gave me sh*t loads of options and then couldn’t get any of them. They do look awsome.

PM every E30 owner as we all do want.

When you’re buying an old car like that it’s the maintenance you want to see not the millage though isn’t it. Im sure we both looked at that lovely low millage Black M3 in Papatoetoe with New Zealander spec maintenance… Scary ether way. They do seem to pay quite a bit for old cars though.

I like the big picture Lance, it’s like playing BUZ and waiting for the picture to come clearer… took me 6 seconds to guess it was a possum... oh, look with beer... still opening. M3’s would cost that here too if every second one wasn’t a clapped out Japanese import… Most of the NZ new ones are bad enough. From what I can gather the condition of your average old BMW in Australia is quite high in comparison to NZ cars.

Oh how I wish people would leave RX7’s alone, they are quickly killing off a future classic. The Rx7 is IMO the best looking Japanese car ever as it is out of the box, they need no modification! Nice try though, my wagon is going in next mouths Auto Trader, if you give me some rims I’ll put your sticker on my car Jono

They have a lot of presence, IMO they have got to be the Motorsport, have looked at buying anther since selling ours but it wasn’t the M-Sport and just looked bland, amazing what a body kit can do. I spot E30’s all the time and most give you the E30 nod. It’s like the nod of knowing. Even being stuck in traffic in an E30 is still fun! Either that or they try and race me

Welcome to Bimmersport, nice looking car you have there. So it’s a 2.8 out of a E36/46? Must go quite well in a straight line!

Number plate 545iSP? I sold my old car to a fellow named Andrew that lives in Napier, people say they see him all the time! Miss her

That starlet could have fit through the gap at the side anyways.. I wonder how the stoppers are operated?

Once a week on the daily, once every two weeks on the Beemer, I see it as maintenance, cleaning is like keeping air in the tyres and checking fluid levels and polishing and waxing is like an oil change every six mouths. When I get a new car I spend two days cleaning, polishing, painting and waxing everything to form a clean and protected layer and after that its simply basic maintenance, like cleaning down your shower every week, leave it a month and it’s twice the job and requires a lot of effort. The more regularly you clean the crap off your car the less sticks to it, leave pollen and tar on your car for a few weeks and it contaminates it and makes it hard to get off and will normally require a polish to get it looking good, let dirt mount up and it will swirl the hell out of the paint when you eventually do clean it. I think nothing of it, just another chore that needs to be done.

How much lighter would a Rotary engine be compared to a boat anchor M20? Couple this with the massive increase in power and I bet it would be a very nice drive. Was looking at this at the Four&Rotory nationals last year and it was one of the stand outs for me. Porting doesnt ruin a rotor, the owners normally do... They spend some time and money though so kudos to em.

I dont tell people im in an online BMW comunity

Ok, my advice is to keep the dream going and never drive one, that way you won’t have a childhood dream smashed as I did and you can go on dreaming its a good car. The 100% original but well maintained Quatro I went in (didnt drive, it was the guys pride and joy) was absolutely useless, it was a Homologation effort that was hard to compare to the race going version, they were more a GT and a way for Audi to show case there Quatro technology, much like the Toyota Celica GT-Fours were in the 90’s and far from capable. If you want a capable late 80’s rally rep start dreaming about the Lancia Delta Integrally instead, its actually quite capable, not as much so as modern equivalent but still fast. Here’s a clip of a Lancia VS the beloved M3.

Good one, first laugh of the week.

Cheers nick, it was filthy!

X2. They will do it right first time.

Try it? Mate, I think we have all tried it, how about go try it on a race track with double the power and an ability to hold a consecutive drift through 5 corners..

Thanks Em,it s a fantastic car, it really hums along very well. Went for a long drive yesterday and could have just kept going, it drives so well, just goes where you want it too and is very adjustable at pace, you'd struggle to find a wagon that is as much fun to drive. Have has the two faults fixed now and car has a new WOF, thanks to Glenn and the team at BMW.

Sorry but they are flawed as a road car, think farm bike, a m3 is a 10x better drive and would leave one for dead. nice car though.

nice car, well done, looks like it goes as hard as a 325i, there isnt much in it.

Lol, that’s me on the way home from getting dinner and I still don’t spill my super large drink from Wendy’s (a Burger place that we have in Auckland)

MX5's are choice, I would rock one of the 1.8 BRG models with Gold BBS RS's and a chrome roll bar. I might have to start sporting those skinny scalves and girl jeans though to pull it off. The people that compiled the list have driven the cars and driven them bloody hard, im sure some of us have maybe, and just maybe driven one or two to what we think is the limit, but is probably six tenths of what EVO have. But we are all driving experts aren’t we, cant see how any of us can comment on the list, drive them all and then coment, maybe you'll learn something. I’d be happy to say I have owned any of the cars on that list and driven them to their full potential, even if they were FWD .
