    E46 323 manual 2000

    How much for the multifunction steering wheel?
  2. how easy is it to fit this muffler onto my e46? price pm me thanks
  3. now save up for some BBS wheels to match that gov issue plate of yours!
  4. Don't know much about the car, but this dealership imports some nice cars.. I think there's only 1 person on here that owns an e60 touring?
  5. Those are definitely aftermarket corners.
  6. Nice find! A m3 or even a msport bumper would look great. Sweet wheel fitment too! Edit: better change those Altezza style front corners

  14. lol the photo i posted is only to show the colour, the car looks nice though i think, except its far too low and has stupid wheels.. needs to be set up properly! i do like the csl front bumper with the joined carbon lip tho... i hope i can buy an m3 to join in with you guys for the csl bootlid group buy!

    The OB 46

    i think ambers look pretty good on blue bmws, but clears are fine too.. my next step would be to take off those alien antennas on the sides of the rear windscreen and then paint/plastidip/vinyl tape the chrome window trims and then maybe a msport bodykit or a lip if you want something a bit different, the front nose end looks too rounded otherwise IMO but car looks tidy, wheels look good but with 17s u definitely need a drop, just slightly to lose the wheel arch gap would be enough, no crazy stance necessary good stuff!
  20. @charles32 looks like a lovely house, a nice garage to work in and plenty of driveway space for the family and guests.. cant really ask for much more for only 400k! good on you for getting a house built, i can see how it appeals to some, getting it custom made to your family's needs. 32kms to work sounds like a loooooong drive, but heck, we are discussing all this on a car forum where (i assume) we all love our cars and enjoy driving, what better way to rack up the milage than with some good ol' highway commute to and from work!
  21. respray in original colour and then do black roof, bonnet, and boot.. just to be different... or do some white racing stripes with 20" chromes... okay these are all bad ideas... i personally really like the technoviolet.. otherwise go for a custom gunmetal grey maybe?
  22. Me as my parents have been here for years but only managed to buy our first property back in 2003ish. It was a 4 bedroom 1200sqm section house with double garage, overlooking Sylvia park (when it was non existent, just a bunch of sheds). So it's classified as mt Wellington, but it's 1 min to the motorway and extremely convenient. We paid around $280k I believe, renovated slowly while paying the mortgage, probably spent about 50-100k on everything, new paint, wood floors, double garage automatic doors, new deck, new aluminum windows and sliding doors, all te labour was done by my dad and me over around 4-5years. We then sold that place around 2008 to free up some capital for our business and sold for around $600k.. It's not impossible, we started with no savings, parents worked full time and I was a student, but we managed to do okay with a 90% mortgage.. We were renting in remuera and Parnell (mainly for my schooling) but once I got to Auckland boys grammar we decided to leave and buy a house. It was a difficult move, as I had to bus an hour each day until I was 15-16 and got my license and a car, but for sacrificing convenience, we ended up with a lovely house with a big section and somewhat of an investment which enabled us to start a business with the profit from selling the house as capital. Basically, don't be afraid to buy out of your comfort zone, especially if you don't have children and no need to worry about their schooling.. It only means a little longer drive to work, a bit more petrol, earlier wake up times, but you get a house out of it rather than help put rent money into pockets of the owners.
