The one that really boils my piss... "BYO wheels" Like everyone has a suitable set of wheels to put on a car they're buying, so they can drive it away... Because little Jimmy wants to keep the wheels currently fitted

Long gone, now idiots can ask questions on anything they want.

The back payments are only going to keep growing the longer its not on hold, you'd be doing him a favour

Just use the tried and true biocides like Olaf mentioned. Magnets dont kill bugs. Thats like the old Peter Brock box of magic and wizardry.

Should just put it on hold for him, you dont need to be the registered owner to do so online.

IIRC the GM has a metal sump pan and the ZF black plastic. Might be an easy way to identify them.

Jesus man, chill out. Chris has been very helpful and given you everything you need, no need to be rude about it. If you had engaged some brain cells instead of raging, you would've scrolled down and seen that everything for the engine is broken down category by category on that site. Its all there, you just need to look. I guess you can lead a horse to water, etc etc.

FTFY To be fair though, the side profile is one of the least offensive angles of it. the front and rear are both 🤮🤮

Signed. What a stupid thing to be doing. In saying that though, what is the source of the claim?

Streetview seems to confirm that.

Thats BS, all parts should be covered by a parts warranty (usually 2 years, unlimited KM) if fitted by trained technicians, whether the car is under warranty or not.

that and the purple parcel shelf stick out like dogs balls. Classic dealer trying to get premium money with minimal work.

N series v8 are trash too unless they've had all the issues fixed

This road to zero BS should really just be driver education and policing.

You know you're talking about two different system 🙄 Roadworthy inspection =/= modification certification Yes, certs can be hard. Based on some of the utter shite inspectors are presented with, it needs to be. Just be thankful there is even a road to legal modifications here.

Anything but a 4 pot BMW. No one here is kidding when they say those engines are well known to be horrifically problematic, no matter how you look after them. BMW had some issues with engine design at that time.

and then sell it...

Or, you know, just keep an eye on your speed and dont worry about speed cameras or cops? I've had two speeding tickets in my lifetime, and both were 100% my fault and both were due to me being stupid. Dont use a radar, dont use waze and dont even have cruise control. Better living everyone.

Thats cool. I knew they ran the 4G15 but didnt realise they were manual too. I wonder, how heavy are the garish blingy wheels?

Honestly, reading the Car Constructors Manual, which is what LVVTA uses, you might be pushing sh*t up hill trying to use aftermarket recaro rails in a stressed seat situation. You wouldnt need to prove the rails/seats meet the standards, you would need to prove the rails were factory fitment in a factory car as fitted by BMW. I know my friend who did a similar thing to his corolla had to prove that the recaro rails he used were OEM toyota parts, as fitted to an OEM toyota (in this case, a Levin). This was helped by the rails having OEM toyota part numbers on them. If he changes seats to more modern recaros which have the newer bolt pattern, he has to change the rails and will need to put the buckles on the tunnel then. Easiest solution is to mount he buckles to the tunnel with doubler plates and be done with it.

"ENGLAND VERSION" in the decoder. Maybe it was one of those tourist delivery things?

Since you're already running MHD, turn on the exhaust burble option. On my E91, with stock exhaust other than decat, it could pop and bang with the best of them. Its horrible for the turbos though I believe.

AH, i didnt check the rego, so just presumed it was live. If its dead, its not even good for P&Ts (as the cool kids call it)

Someone buys/obtains a car that is dead reg/stolen/not an M3 and wants it to be a road "legal" M3... buys shell with reg, plates and vin tags, puts said identity on dodgy car. Very illegal, but still happens. I think they call it ringing in the UK.

M3 plates and tags aint cheap, homie
