Loving the new look, the old look was VERY dated by comparison. Well done everyone involved.

Hard lock, and neutral to drive drop at redline?

sh*t that didnt take long! Need some name and shame action...

Well im glad it doesnt come on the wheels pictured.... seeing as there are no pictures.

My first car. Loved this car, but sold it and now its sitting rotting in some old guys barn near Fairlie.

Sounds like a big air block stuck in the cooling system. Bleed bleed bleed!

Says right there, on the boot who the kit is from.... http://www.wald.co.jp/english/catalog/bmw/3/e90/e90.html

This is bullshit, not all jap imports are dodgy lumps of crap. Ive owned a couple of NZ new cars, with and without FSH (yes, there are a lot of NZ New owners that dont care for proper servicing or paperwork) that have been terrible troublesome cars yet i have owned many jap imports that were immaculate and gave no troubles. FSH doesnt mean a huge amount in NZ imo, people will still cut corners where possible. The issue here is the buyer took the car sight unseen, and the garage that did the PPI did a bad job of it. Buyer beware etc. Could have happened with an NZ New car with FSH (as it did with the last E39 i got a BMW PPI on, NZ New, had FSH but still had a full a4 page of issues so i walked away).

Need these gone, just taking up space in my garage. $100 ono.

i presume its this one? http://www.u-sell.co.nz/main/browse/9222-2...--for-sale.html

Damn you get some cool cars. Would love this sort of thing for a restoration project.

i dont know what any of that means, but its more than fast enough for me!

Seen this out and about, its a VERY good looking car. Crap load of car for the price IMO

Theres some good info in here on the warning lights and what they mean. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=326873 Some more info here too http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/topic/82089-dash-w...what-they-mean/ Hope that helps

Yeah, Chorus are terrible. The work they do is great, very impressive, but the time frame and lack on contact sucked. Im on the 30/10 plan, and this is what im getting ATM. Very good really. Would be interesting to see how close to 100 i'd get if i changed plan.

I got it installed recently, provided by Snap.net.nz. Chrous were a nightmare. We live down a shared driveway, and when i signed up on the 3rd of Feb we were told 8 weeks MAX. It finally got installed 20th June. No communication from Chorus at all, despite my many attempts to get updates from them. It was a bit more complicated as we decided to run conduit to my landlords place next door at the same time to save doing it later, but we were the only house getting the fibre connection (fibre cable can be blown down the conduit later). Other than that, they bored under the drive way, made a small trench at the end of the drive to split the conduit to both places, and then bored more to get it to both places. Very tidy install, rather impressive really, but the time it took makes me wonder if it was all worth it in the end. Snap were good through out the whole process and set us up with temp ADSL in the mean time, but only after a month of no internet at all.

There are a ton of much better condition Ti's out there in the market, i would start with one of them if you are intending to spend money on things like manual conversions. Starting with a rough one is going to just keep costing you money getting it to a decent standard.

Gosh its a nice looking car aint it? All i know is that Fast Fours dont have a very good rep and the M3 is probably above the average lending amount of their clients.

its a shame you arent local, would have been all over this... but im over buying cars long distance.

Didnt CSLs only come in SMG?

Whats to say it even needs engine work? I cant see any reason why you couldnt just buy that and enjoy it as is? What do you know about that car that we dont?

$1 res them, you will get true value then. Just please, complete the sale no matter what it goes for, dont be a knob and withdraw it at the last moment.

Yup, thats the best thing for Windows... +1, as long as you have a windows license and installer, Virtualbox is free and easy as pie.

Yeah, i remember the massive arguments he had on the Q&A the first time he listed it claiming it was a "genuine M3"

This is my old one, was the 6 speed V6 and god damn it went like a cut cat and the sound it made was simply beautiful. Would love another, especially this one, http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-607836148.htm Had multiple issues in the couple of months i owned it, from dodgy coil packs, failed airflow meters and dead aircon, right up to serious rust in the floor. It also needed the rear suspension rebuilt and a new alternator just before i got it. When it was going it was devine, but otherwise it was a prick. My advice? Get low KM with full history and NZ new. IIRC the cambelts on the TS engines are due every 60,000km or so, so make sure thats done as they are prone to failure.
