Maybe newmarket bp?

not sure if true but the fact that he used to own an e46 m3 is just .... i feel bad for whoever that bought the m3.

buy my m contours would look sick

reverse into the park > problem solved

those arent e46 msport wheels.. looks kind of like style 194's off an e90 msport...?

sounds like a fair bit of work. hope it was dirt cheap?

Yep. Its also a bit risky with these kinds of sellers. Just not worth the risk sometimes. But damn so cheap for rcs..

already missed out bbs rc303 18x8.5 with unknown tyres but all that for just $550.. sigh http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=952770350

looking to buy a set of mags/tyres from dunedin and seller doesnt want to arrange freight anyone whos free to pick them up and drop off to a depo? could bank transfer some moneyz for the trouble

Bump

very nice!

Dont care so much for the burnout but engine sounds good

its actually pretty crazy stuff how much tv dramas movies etc can influence people so easily, i myself included. young kids could easily think its cool and give it a go...

wasnt he at mitsubishi/andrew simms new market?

aliens must love their bmws too..

Sounds like the best possible outcome for what is basically a nightmare of a situation. Well done and good work getting it sorted. No one in their right mind would see this kind of work and think its okay.

"A customer wants a car thats safe! the F-pace!" (.....so we did a 360 loop in it, now it must be 100% safe)

how about a 6cyl 2.5L? that would be a decent compromise

im pretty sure this is #5 on Dave/Kulgans road to seven 7's list.

people dont understand that big engines dont necessarily mean high fuel consumption. i got amazing fuel economy in my 3L straight 6 E46 when driven casually or even during road trips. i reckon if i had a 318/320 it would probably be very very slightly cheaper but nowhere near as fun or nice to drive.. and no stupid crazy repair bills for oil leaks

just dont buy a 4 cylinder bmw, especially e90's and e87's. save up or go down a few years if you need to to get a 6 cylinder.
