    Latest toy. E36 328i

    I would say that the poorly paid souls in compliance probably dont even see the car at all when entering it into the system. if they see a 328ci (like on the e46) then they may know its a coupe, but if its 328i (like on the e36, coupe or sedan) they may just guess or assume its sedan.
  4. 2008 R56. You may find it interesting to know that some BMW's also use the "odd" m14x1.25 bolts. Such as the new 2 series.
  5. I have looked at so many wheels and not once had a problem with bolt hole sizes before.. Since I encountered this problem I have looked high and low but no spec sheet specifies a wheels' bolt hole size anywhere..
  6. have seen this already thanks dave.. but for its over $200.. for a problem that shouldnt exist in the first place..

    Yes. It requires you to relocate the aircon to the lower cubby hole to fit this unit where the CD/MD player is.
  8. Came across an annoying issue recently thought I'd ask if anyone knows more about it. Basically I got some wheels 4x100 to fit onto my Mini Cooper. Later I found out that the bolt holes on the mags itself are only M12 and the mini uses M14x1.25 bolts so the bolt doesnt even fit through the hole. option 1: get a machine shop to drill out 16 holes bigger to fit the m14 bolts (will it be perfectly centered if done so? worrying..) option 2: bolt to bullet stud and nut conversion? Do they even have bullets that go from m14 down to m12?? What a pain in the a**.. why do they make wheels/cars with different sized bolts? as if having different PCD is not annoying enough as it is...
  9. Hey Brett! My bbs rx in gunmetal grey in the For Sale page would suit your car nicely..
  10. Wagons are definitely more expensive and if it is msport even more and lci even more. Just take into account another 500-1000 to convert iDrive and better wheels and or tyres and you should have a nice car!

    M TOY M3

    Still cant believe how good these wheels look on an E46. Personally think its way better than the stock M3 18s and 19s.
  12. what does the car owe you? The general consensus is these 2L engines in the E90 are very problematic. It could be a simple fix, could require a new engine. no one can say until you take it to a shop and get it diagnosed properly.
  13. whats wrong with the hankooks? they are not the lowest spec, its actually the Ventus V8 RS (H424) Its not Michelin PS4 or Continental CPC5 but its definitely no linglong

  15. General consensus is beware of ex UK cars as they are more prone to underbody rust. A good inspection is recommended. However, I dont see anything appealing about this car you have put in the link? Non msport spec and has wheels from an E46 (wrong offset/fitment for E90/E91) Not particularily cheap either for what it is.. plenty of better examples around I think
