  1. ^ this is the truth. car owners will always advertise it according to the registered year. never will you find a seller who puts the build year as the main year when listing their vehicle. for e90's a 2008 and 2010 is a significant change as it is pre and post LCI (ie. facelift) so it does highlight the 'flaws' or 'downsides' of having the registered year but as kelvin has pointed out, anyone looking to buy such a car would check the build year and notice that it doesnt have the lci/facelift taillights straightaway. same thing with the 2002/2003 e46 m3 where the 2003.5 is the 'desireable' year. you can tell from the subtle differences in lights etc. if it was any other run of the mill car, no one would care anyway. this isnt even a problem. and the seller shouldnt be bagged for listing his car as a 2010. cuz it is a 2010 car according to the vehicle registration. end of story

    Stre-e-etch....

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stance this pretty much sums it up: stance To destroy a cars handling abilities by having it lowered an excessive amount. Typically, the tires are tucked way inside the vehicles fenders. But in order to have a hellaflush stance and run the required excessively wide wheels with tires that are stretched just to fit onto the wheels, the car has to have an excessive amount of negative camber. If you stand behind one of these cars don't be surprised to see the rear tires looking like "/ \". The rear tires are probably bald on the inside and the outside still looks brand new, and there's probably only an inch of contact patch with the ground. A hellaflush stance car can't even pull into a driveway without bottoming out and ripping the bumper off or cracking the vehicles oil pan. Some stanced cars are so extreme that you can't even turn the vehicles steering wheel fully in either direction without the tires rubbing.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1044330070.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1043183275.htm Judging from these two auctions, one being a 66k imported 4.4L and the other being 90ks nz new but 3.0L, Id say its 'worth' about 25-30k BUT if anyone is going to pay that much is a whole different story. As a seller, its quite sad to see the prices of these "similar but inferior cars" and feel "why wont anyone buy my car for just $5k more? its totally worth it!" Id say list for 25k starting and put a reserve of whatever hes willing to sell for (eg. 28k or 30k or 35k etc). If it reaches reserve then he gets his desired price. If not, then he knows what people are willing to pay
