“E46” is not relevant and just searching m3 will bring up 318i and audis

a bit of bmw blue coolant + distilled water and away you go.

Record high number of listings on TM at the moment.. None of them any good tbh except maybe the blue one or the facelift grey one www.trademe.co.nz/1731840123 www.trademe.co.nz/1731430224 www.trademe.co.nz/1733469510 www.trademe.co.nz/1725146045 www.trademe.co.nz/1677083796

wrap the top to resemble a maybach. do it. you know you want to.

definitely faster and newer and more comfortable but its more than a few grand more when you can get a auto/manual 130i for 10-15k and the absolute cheapest m135i is 22k going up to 25-30k for lower kms. And no option for manual But despite all that, the lack of steering response is the biggest difference and let down with the electronic steering (which has its' advantages too depending on how you look at it and where you drive it)

Oh you caught me. Yes mine is the n55 so... whatever

cant get any decent msport 335 for 15k anyway these days. there are some early 2006-2008 non msport ones for sub 15k but most are on 100+kms There is another blue 130i manual on tm for 12k with 100+kms. plenty of fun for sure!

Which is why i have the m135i over my old 130i twin turbo0o0o

This is almost identical to mine except red seats and mine has sunroof there is a estoril blue one for 22k now such bargain

as pictured. located akl but can arrange shipping. looking for $800

got these staggered 18s for sale

i know of course more power, but the sound of the NA.. man miss my 130i.. my M135i doesnt compare for pure engine/exhaust sound to be honest..

How about the set of Style 42's ive got for sale? similar to this google pic:

Do you really think so? I reckon the 130i sounds HEAPS better NA 6 pot...

@Azukamii?

so.. how do I buy from US now.. FCPeuro etc.. 1usd = 1.50nzd.. my hard earned dollar is only worth 67 cents now

oh wait that doesnt make sense. What I meant was the whole car less engine ecu loom gearbox is probably worth a dollar. haha whoops

bump

($1400 whole car) - (engine ecu loom and gearbox) = $1399?

looks absolutely fab on the style 95's. its as if it was meant for this car.

u want some cheap 16" style 18s?

Seems like the OP has traded in the car as I saw it pop up on a dealer listing unless its a consignment sale. The wheels look similar if not same as what I have which are BBS RS-GT aka RS 911/912. 18x8.5 ET15 and 18x9.5 ET22 with 74.1mm CB to suit E39 and would fit the M5 like a glove.

I would have thought you'd be all over the new kia stinger for the ridiculous price they are going for these days
