Its NZ New and according to the options list its a true motorsport spec. A pretty decent car other than the wheels and ACS stuff
-
Dont get me started on "ex fleet, full service history". We have fleet companies happily voiding warranties because they are too cheap to do an air filter or brake pads when needed.
-
before digging too far, hows the battery condition and voltage?
-
+1, dont do it. The darkside is dark for a reason.

Looks very cool, some stunning video in there too. Much better than some of the cheap "toys" kicking around. What camera does yours use? Hope you had all the relevant council/CAA permits to fly
-
Fair enough then, ONWARDS!
-
it always amazes me how weak the normal E46 coupe looks when next to the staunch M3. Love the color, and look forward to seeing it progress in your ownership. Congrats!
-
that "slipping" of the trans, could it be the torque converter locking and unlocking at cruise? Might be cheaper to sort that and keep it auto, if it is, than to rebuild/replace the whole auto or convert to manual.

I have a Ryobi One+ 1/2" Impact wrench (which like the Bosch one comes with an adaptor to become a drill driver too) and its bloody great for around the garage. Heaps of torque, and being One+ i have a few other tools too that all use the same batteries.
-
its certainly "outrageous" though
-
Looks like the main dash section is black, so just go grab some black lower trim and centre console from another E46 and be away laughing?
-
gosh those non-msport E39s are just.... dull, to look at.
-
looks good, its a great combo of facelift, CS and that blue. Think itll stay auto?

SOME WILL LAUGH AND NO DOUBT SOME WILL SHED A WTF TYPE TEAR

How do you know the conversion wasnt done from new? Werent a lot of options for elite euro sports cars back then like there are now, so its not like they could just jump in a C63 (couldve got an auto 2.3-16 cosworth, but who wants a merc?). -
Mine stopped making that noise when i replaced the chain tensioner, otherwise the only noises you could hear were normal ones (mainly injectors). Its well known that the 10W60 oil was only specified for the S50 AFTER the S54 came out, but no one can agree on what grade it was before that.

wonder whats on the build sheet, auto or manual. There is a legit reason for sports cars in auto; disability. -
thats cool. was that a feature from a later car? seems odd that something as high spec as the 750i wouldnt get that standard.
-
looks no worse than any car ive had dyno'd, including my M3 (albeit with a FAR lower output). Do dynos do some sort of smoothing or something on the graphs?
-
Looks pretty nice and linear, what do you mean? Would be a bloody weapon to drive. The want is strong.
-
if the owners handbook is anything like my M3 one (which it wont be, its a S50 swapped 328), it didnt specify an oil grade.
-
I didnt want to get involved in the oil argument, again, but my S50B30 was very happy on 5W40 Valvoline Synpower.
