It looks like what Batman would drive, if he was in middle management...

My e91 330s on stock motorsport suspenson with 18" 215/45 and 245/35s, it scrapes on everything as well (its lower than the 130 with B1 suspension..)

That is cool, whats the engine code? Google FTW - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N45

Nah, do certification and servicing etc. Thats just a baby one on the table.

Shows just how much of a brands identity is based on their core values, and how much is actually based on moving product. "The ultimate driving machine".. balls. Ferrari SUV coming soon.

Wrecker could buy it and make at least double that in parts...

I sold my beaten up 96 corolla wagon for nearly the same price (and a same time) as your 330 touring..... madness.

Im glad mines insured for agreed value :D.. Quite odd as 130 pricing has been 10-15 for years, only last few months its plummeted... good time to get one.

2 new doors and good to go? Or is the B pillar caved in?

Slow market at the moment, I wouldnt drop your price TBH, starts to look "broken" to prospective buyers. Lots of cheap 130s at the moment, too cheap, I dont think anyones buying anything. I kinda want the interior ... (but am hanging out to find the red leather from a tardme wrecker...)

Whats the benefit over an OBD2 adapter and ISTA, other than no laptop needed? Ive got a carly and carista too, welcome to have a play with them if you want.

What'd you do your mancave today.. Still has room for the hoist, bank account needs to recover some first

Bump.

Nissan arent even the worst, they still have 370Z and GTRs... have you seen what mitsubishi have turned into? Shitty softroaders only. Kinda on topic, drove one of the new LDV vans the other day, automated manual. Total pile of sh*t, had 2000km on the clock and drove like a 1980 holden camira with 400000km on it.. .. The gearbox was interesting though, its a manual box with essentially a robot changing gears and using the clutch. Really bizarre to drive, its like having a truck driving ghost change gears for you. Its slow and clunky, but entertaining

Wonder what its story is... Wonder who has 100k to blow on what looks like a basketcase.

Yup was an option, the majority of LCIs seem to have it though? (well those Ive paid attention to)

Yeah in auto mode it can be a lil weird, the "real" first gear/clutch kinda bogs the engine when your creeping in traffic, still WAY better than any other CVT Ive driven.

Thrashed a rental 2019 corolla over the crown ranges today. Stuck it in sport mode, slapped the transmission into manual and was prepared to be thoroughly underwhelmed. Smashed the go pedal and started tapping through the gears, and it was wickedly responsive, nearly like a DCT! bang bang bang.. and there were 9 of em! Only a little bit of slip, and it changed cogs in milliseconds. Very impressed by what I thought would be a horrid slushbox. Got home and googled what kind of insane box this was and how they fitted so many cogs in it ... Its a friggin CVT! My world has been shattered.

Just stumbled on this, pretty epic car control.

Sounds like the Topgear/Grand Tour format is ending and it might be odd specials now?

Judging by the last episode of the Grand Tour, thats it for the 3 of em... No more (maybe).

Chinese window regulators and spiders, bulk lots.

Think I spotted a diff labelled E70 4.4

Some interesting bits there, lots of panels and lights for E30-E90ish gens. craploads of chinese E39/90 window regulators. Odd wheels, couple of M5x engines in various states, and random junk in piles. What looked like an entire new E87 118i rear subframe with diff and shocks etc, all new, but very corroded outside.
