Yep

At least it may come in handy when playing FM2

This looks interesting. Although I wasn't looking at replacing the factory alarm, it is an option. Thanks for the link.

.. if your car gets stolen. Does anyone have any experience with this? e.g. http://www.verifind.co.nz Would your insurance payments go down as a result of having this?

20.8km lap, 33 left and 40 right turns - probably would take a bit of time to get to know the track well

$14k is an excellent deal... I got my 328ci for $18k. Could have found something a bit cheaper, but this one was in perfect condition with full service history from Team McMillan, so I decided I'd rather spend a grand or two more at the start and have no problems later on.

Depends what the navigation is like on a stereo, but on my one I can browse folders relitevely quickly, so it makes the whole thing easier.

I guess that depends on the stereo, my one takes maybe 5 or so sec to start reading off hard drive when first started, but everything after that is smooth, no delays when skipping songs, displaying titles, etc.

Now just need to find someone who is willing to borrow me $50k

M3 GTR at Nurburgring I want:)

Looks very useful. Thanks for the info!

Interesting:)

This is iPod compatible unit, but this is not via iPod controler. Just a simple USB cable, the unit has the ability to read music files from anything that is plugged into USB (memorey sticks, hard drives). To listen to iPod, I'd still need the iPod controller cable. Costs around $80 I think.

This unit has a USB port at the back, so the cable goes from the back of the unit into the glove box. This is better approach than having the USB at the front, since you don't get any cables hanging around.

Here is an idea if you're looking to buy a new stereo... Today I finally got around to buying an extarnal USB hard drive, which I have now hooked up to the stereo. 120GB of space, so I can finally say goodbye to CD-swapping:) And it fits nicely in the glovebox. One gotcha - your stereo will most likely only read FAT32 file system, which means max partition size of 32GB. So I created one 32GB partition for music, and another one to fill up the rest of the hard drive - useful if I need to use the hard drvie for something else as well. If you need more than 32GB of space for your music, you can create multiple FAT32 partitions.

And they did this because...?

Only outside around the outter window frame... if thats what you mean:)

And here are some pics. Took them just now in the garage, so might be a bit dark due to lack of light. Was going to wait till I washed it on the weekend, but... @NZPOM - No mods done yet, but I'm probably going to do something in the future. Buying this baby wasn't easy on the pocket + insurance + new stereo, so any mods will have to wait for a bit:)

Hello all, Just saying hi:) Got a 328ci E46 couple of months ago, and I love it! Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it:) Black with black leather and tinted windows, will put up some pics on the weekend. Cheers
