I must ask then, do the spandex bandits not understand this fact? If they did, surely that would stop trying to be a statistic. Im of the opinion that anyone wearing spandex can GTFO as the ratio of a**hole:good cyclist when it comes to spandex is 100:0, whilst the ratio for cyclists that arent wearing spandex is about 30:70.

Time for a road trip and test drive it for uh... science

i hate being this person, but you should really have a better look in this part of the forum. This car has been discussed here a couple of times now.

oh wow, is that a Mora E39? That would be lush as f**k with a black interior.

last i checked the ownership hadnt changed, so no idea whats up with that one.

uh no, the one in the OP is a genuine M5 body/chassis. Even carjam says its an M5, and running the vin confirms it. The one you are thinking of is a different car, which was down here in wellington (i tried to buy it but couldnt get hold of the seller). Imported M5 couldnt be complied due to damage, so got completely reshelled into 520i.

TV and DV (that one is Daytonaviolet fyi) are THE BEST colors on an E36. That one is up there in price, which i suspect is why it hasnt sold. It looks very nice, and i also think the previous owner was a BS member.

Saw a black E30 M3 RHD yesterday, plate said something about EVO. Drooled a bit.

im not entirely sure why anyone is actually thinking the body was changed, its obvious its had new big end shells installed as previous viewers noted a deathly knock. The body is the same, still has the same marks/dents etc. What i would be interested to know, is what work was done during the reshelling.... but im not going to buy it, so doesnt really matter me.

i saw that same cab this morning. Looked tidy. Also saw an E30 sedan after it had gone up the arse of a toyota vitz on SH2

The steering rack was IMO one of the biggest failures of the E36 M3. I always thought it killed the whole enjoyment of the twisties because its was so slow and just not sport like at all. Rather odd considering they did have other, better racks at the time.

It may be a BMW oriented forum, but most, if not all of us like other brands as well. Audi right now is the lesser of all evils.

So much nope to new Mercs. cheaply built, hideously unreliable, mass produced and over priced pieces of sh*t. Audi for sure.

The strange part that sort of points to more than just mindless vandalism to me, is that they cut the wires. didnt pull them out or snap them, cut them. Weirdos. We shell a shitload of mirrors through work. Usually people driving down narrow streets clipping them and breaking the glass or housing.

If theyre that cheap over there, it'd make a good donor for a manual swap. Love that Alpina one above. I'd love an 8 series but the maintenance costs scare me (even doing all the work myself, still aint cheap!).

Now, if it actually was a wagon..... mmm.

a parts bin special from a few years ago. awesome cars, much want for one.

beautiful car, undoubtedly one of the best. Good luck!

saw this wagon on trademe, very very nice. Great combination. Welcome

E36, E46 or E90? If its an E36 be aware that the jap imports have terrible autos that will result in the "jatco jerk" where they jerk and thump into second gear. The E46 seems to be better and the e90 is all good. Ill second what Richard says though, the 323i in either chassis is underpowered. Youre better off getting a higher spec model, a 328i or 330i. Not only will you get more power, but the fuel consumption wont be that different as the engine wont have to work as hard to lug the car around.

The RE002s i had on a previous car handled OK, but were unreliable. When i got the car it needed the RE002s on the front replaced as they delaminated (despite being almost new), and apparently thats really common.

dont even get me started on dealers changing cambelts as cheap as possible and not doing waterpump and tensioners.... :|

oh, a quick google says it might look like this? In that case, pass. Maybe an oil filter wrench or strap?

im almost 100% sure i just got the socket (36mm) from Repco.
