    I would be buying a Z4M if you want more significant appreciation over the short to medium term, and if you only plan on driving a handful of times per year. Same S54 engine, manual box, but much lower production numbers.

    I appreciate more $$$ (and patience) may be required to get into one of those though. Most of the good condition E46 M3’s have been sold privately lately FYI.

    As above. I purchased these tyres from Hyper 10 days ago. Unfortunately they were slightly too large for the rear of my E46 Touring, and went back to stock 255/35/18 MPS4's. Literally done 10km (Grey Lynn to Takapuna), hence tyres are in near brand new condition. Have receipt to confirm purchase.

    Pick up North Shore or Auckland CBD.

    $700 ono.

    @M3AN I've heard of people epoxying the plates as well as injecting the foam, id be going down the route of welding if i decided on that.

    Really the info for foam is pretty limited. Peter at BMW Auckland central swears by the stuff, so all depends on what kind of quotes I get back from other parties!

    Que @M3_Power; I recall a post that either you wrote or referred to discussing the structural foam reinforcement method at length?

    are you running the square or staggered? fitment is A+!

    Staggered -  18x8 ET30 with 225/40/18 on the front, 18x9 ET44 with 245/35/18 on the rear. I ideally would like a tyre with a slightly taller sidewall on the rear, however these tyres came with the wheels so I am running them until they need replacing. Plan to replace with a 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 on the rear to gain a bit of ride comfort and to fill the arch out a little more.

    Thanks John. That's a beauty, and one of my favourite colours and shapes. Pity you're in AKL, shipping will be pricey. And I'm still waiting to hear from the insurance...?

    I could arrange transport for the right price. If you would like to know anything else about the car just let me know ??
