That thing is about as far away from an M3 as you can get, in looks and performance. Its one of few BMWs that is uglier than the new ones.

Thats probably the downfall then. The proportions of the rear of the M4 is terrible, the GTR and Stang are much better. I've never seen massive wheels like the M4 has swallowed by the rear guard and made to look like they are smaller than the front wheels.

Mustang did it better

My N54 had a huge amount of work done before I got it, so no, i wouldn't consider them reliable. It had the turbos, injectors, coils, HPFP, LPFP all replaced.

Mine didnt have a towbar and tbh it would've been the worst car to tow anything heavy with. Very thirsty, and the power came on with a huge whack. It would tow, but it'd be on boost all the time and traction would be an issue. I'd go with a diesel for towing. I feel that even a 330i would be better for towing just due to not having boost and having a nice linear power/torque curve.

Wow, yeah if they havent bought the moulds, thats some hard core copying!

Cleaned the whale inside and out to get it ready for sale. Removed the fake M badge from the back and replaced the front roundel. Pity the rear hasnt arrived yet. Im SUPER impressed with Carpro Ech2o as a waterless wash. I cleaned the car yesterday normally, because its was covered in bird poo and bug splatters, and then today went over it with Ech2o and damn it shines well considering its not waxed. I used to wash the TVR with it because TVRs are hygroscopic and was impressed, but the BMW paint really pops.

Yup, you will need to use DIS and ADS to connect via the 20 pin. I think @M3AN has the setup for it?

You can try as much as you want to convince people otherwise, but thats sh*t is f**k ugly and not even its mother could love it. I'd hate to be a salesman trying to sell that garbage.

I just hate that its so many lines and sharp angles. The grilles just the fly on top of the sh*t pile. In comparison the previous model looks so sleek and well designed.

That'll be the LSB I spotted the other day then (albeit I cant remember where haha). It sure stands out.

Your opinion is moot, [ FUNWON ] 🤣 Agreed though, a little lower with a black plate frame but not the plate plinth that the silver car above has.

Not sure I understand the point of plates that say what the car is, but euro plates do look good on it (i know it had euros before).

So Dave, do tell, how do you know?

I recently followed the first post in this thread to the letter and coded my car (E63 with CCC) from JDM to Euro frequency and reception is fine. Apparently its the same as coding CIC, maybe see if there is an option in this thread you didnt code?

Rockauto is the sh*t for having cheaper options too. FCP does most mainstream options but if you want some obscure brand at 1/4 the price and dont care about longevity, thats where rockauto comes into its own. Ive bought heaps from them for various cars and never had an issue (although its a bit weird the KYBs for my Corolla were made in USA not Japan, didn't know that was a thing, but hey)

Spotted a modern one a while back. Not the best looking car, that's for damn sure.

Wouldnt hurt to drain the tank if you are worried about it

Thinking the same thing. Must be one of the best examples around.

Since you dont have an airbag to worry about, just get a boss kit and slam a nice Momo or Nardi on there.

Use Realoem.com to get part numbers, chuck them into FCPEuro, Schmiedmann etc, and order from overseas. Alternatively, call your local dealer, or autolign. yellow.co.nz

Also, I cant help but see the current gen Mustang when looking at the rear quarter of that M4 above.

Never been a fan of the E92 coupes, the E90 M3 is a far better looking car, as is the E46 M3. Anything after the E9x series just got a bit too busy with too many sharp angles.

Really? 🤮

They were an ugly car too, so that doesnt help 😂
