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.

Its usually insurance companies that use turners damaged auctions, no its likely it was written off by them and now they're trying to recoup some dollars.

gosh, they had a good go at making it a compact, did they?

+1 seems a real waste imo.

i HATE people that use rear fogs in good weather, so farking annoying. Ill use my front fogs in anything resembling darkness or bad weather. The way i see it, is the more someone else can see me, the less chance of them hitting me. I also want people that drive in either the dark, or bad weather with ONLY park lights or DRL on to jump off a cliff. No one can see you, sh*t head.

You sure? Dont see alarm system on the list either

btw, just if anyone cares, apparently its sold again already

That'd make a hell of a project, but sadly as we all know any private bidders (unless completely loaded) will get decimated by wreckers (like Ray), like usual.

even at that price i would be interested, if it didnt have a sketchy VIN issue.... still looks great. The last auction was withdrawn despite hitting reserve, so not sure what it actually sold for.

Thats is/was a members car?

Def listed tonight, sold within a very short period of time. Was considering it myself, but didnt want to take on the risk.

Set of four wheels and tires. Good tread all around. Some kerbing, pretty minor. Appear to be style 46. Came off my E46 when i upgraded to 17" wheels. $200 pick up only. Can take more photos and measure tread etc if requested.

Does it do good skidz bro?

keen for pics.
