Probably be fantastic as scrap metal, might get $40 at metalman.

Update on this, few thousand ks on car since CCV system replacement, all fixed, no longer chugs back oil and is running nice

RWD.. 4WD models are badged iX and rocking horse teeth in NZ. Whatever you do take it to a specialist BMW shop to get a PPI done

I dont think that an e90 is going to be much better, even one with a smaller engine. Its going to depend massively on how are where your driving. Buy a leaf FYI My 330 e91 auto averages around 10.5/l 100km

All you need is a ListerBell STR Stratos and you have my dream garage. You bastard

An M3 Touring, and a Clio V6... Thats just being greedy!

If I had room for a third N52B30 and second E91 330... Id be all over it I even half considered buying it, fixing the little things up, and flicking it off for more $!

Jebus, 5k?! Dont do it!

That is porn.

Timing chains, oil leaks, etc etc etc. Pretty notorious (particularly if you compare it to a japanese 2l 4 pot with the same output )

123D or a 130i, the only reason to get one of the shitty 4 pots petrols is because you do not like your wife (This is how you form your argument for getting a decent one ) My 130i manual averages 8.6l/100km (and I dont go out of my way to drive economically.... You can either have a unreliable 4 pot that works its ass off hauling around a 1.4 ton hatch back, or a reliable smooth 6 that moves it without breaking a sweat.

400bhp, 550Nm.. and an open diff ? The rear brakes must get a hammering by TC

Ceramic coating. Its legit. Slapped it on 6 weeks ago - Sonax Profiline. Got it filthy, snow foamed it, got rained on, then the sun came out.... No water spots, no polishing, shineyAF!

Anyone ever replaced the bush on an E8/9x blower motor? Ive lubed mine previously using a light machine oil, and it solved it for 6 months, now its squeeking again. Spending $200 on a new assembly seems crazy when its just the bush ? Tempted to try pull it out and replace it with a bearing.

I remember doing it in a Mini clubman in a bar in Chch a few years ago, walked out the door and went full speed over a kerb and little garden, hilarious.

Yeah I though the same, it might just be Type R civic style though with multiple exhaust tips for the added thrust.

Kill it with fire. FWD and looks like a Daewoo. This is why they lost the war!

Exhaust, a flash, and a BOV is not modding the hell out of

certed for coilovers, lsd etc, and relatively low ks. Be a good buy for 7k, just needs all the nonsense pulled off it and a manual box installed!

Its some sort of fridgefreezer trying so very, very, very hard to a be a golf GTi.

Currently at 4k, might go cheap!
