    'THE' M3...

    the schnitzer??
  3. what kind of vehicle are you looking for? usually the best deals are genuine private sellers who are either leaving the country or need cash asap. turners is really a hit or miss kind of thing these days i think. lots of duds and if you find a good one they usually go up quite a bit in price.
  4. The owner of this car got an AA inspection done and passed with a few minor notes: - front tyres need replacing then recommended wheel alignment - engine cover missing a few screws (lost while doing the coil packs and spark plugs lol) - tint film peeling/scratched left front window - interior dirty.. lol headgasket and compression test is all good it says service is overdue by 9000km according to sticker (because we do the oil change at home with castrol edge 5w-30 and genuine bmw oil filter) Let me know if anyone is interested to view it
  5. i like the passenger eject button
  6. wow great find! a bit expensive no? even though it must be super rare, will need a super keen person to buy it at that price imo

    Quick Questions

    does the idle fluctuate while ur at the traffic lights with gear in D and foot on the brake? does it do it in N or P as well? check air mass sensor?
  8. 5k is not cheap for a 528i...
  9. That e60 is not msport. The e34 is a members car and is great. An e39 528i can be bought for very very cheap these days but are not as good as a 530 or 540 and must be genuine msport. U have 10k as your budget? I think u havent looked hard enough there are plenty of nicer e39s and e60s for that budget
  10. looks amazing!!!! AAHHHH SOOO GOOOOD
  11. lol yea. but in my experience, unless the previous owner is frequent on forums or is a bmw fanatic, it probably hasnt been done. i mean it says lifetime fluid or something like that haha
  12. from the brief conversation over the phone, seemed like an older kiwi bloke, a genuine sounding person. he said he gets free oil and filters from his friend so they were done regularly. has owned for around 10 years and is the 2nd owner. he said that it hasnt been driven in about 6 months, which was after the radiator, fan, waterpump, etc have been changed. he said the fan disintegrated and caused damage to the radiator? i duno how thats possible but thats what he said haha. i dont mind doing the obvious things like oil and filter, checking all lights and suspension bushings (which probably havent been done). but if there are any issues with engine/cooling system/trans then i better stay away. im not put off by the kms, ive owned cars with more than that and they have been fine (so far). might as well check it out as its quite cheap
  13. ive owned a 330i 2002 that had done around 160,000 kms before and it was as reliable as a car with half the kms. what to look out for on one thats done over 210,000kms? its nz new but no service history, apparently maintained by a mechanic friend ha! we've all heard that before. could be a good buy at the right price.
  14. why wud anyone spray silver over black???? but how much u want for it though brent?
  15. Oh right. but the respective names are in the correct column. just not the corner colour r and b
  16. lol graham. if you look at the top of the score car is has the left column as FM and right column as pac they just tried to trick people with the photo by putting red square boarder as represented by pac's corner colour and blue by mayweathers corner colour. the scoring is right as in 4th round pacquiao deserved the win etc etc
  17. I was only off by $300! Wow
  18. looks very cool. needs a little bit more low but otherwise perfect. great wheel choice too
  19. there are a few ppl that do it. joe @ euro surgeon is recommended
  20. lets see if my guess is right in 4 hours time
  21. its pretty cheap to diy, aruond $100-120 for headliner and maybe another $100 for doorcards and pillars. of course this is just the cost for fabric + glue. not taking into account your time and effort. I think its about $400 for headliner and maybe another $2-300 for doorcards if you were to take it to a professional!
  22. there used to be a super mint black 740i or 750i with full ac schnitzer everything around the city back around 2008ish. it was a turkish dude a friend of a friend and it was one of the nicest 7 series and nicest bmw ive ever seen. it was absolutely amazing. too bad he crashed it drifting or something. silly thing to do with such a nice car.
  23. ^jesus that is one crazy car.
  24. typical mayweather type of match. well calculated and executed. very defensive with some nice accurate punching. boring to watch for most but still at the end of the day he is a skilled and smart fighter. great footwork too by moneyman. pacman on the other hand i was quite disappointed. not enough punches thrown i expected 3-4 times that.
  25. there really arent that many options now thats original and unique. most have been done and done well. cost factor is also important. edit: how about doing the exact opposite and sticking something like an m54b30 or a bmw v8 into a soarer? lol
