So much bickering and fighting in this forum. Its no wonder there arent many newbies sticking around. Still better than Facebook, but not by much.

Totally the case, could've had a 130i manual if i was in the position to buy a couple of months ago. Now, nothing.

Not interested in converting anything to manual, need a toy not a project. Keeping my options open, really want a 130i but none in this price range ATM (have been some previously though). KM arent an issue, as long as its in good shape with service history. The 540i touring and 530i are both on my watchlist. The 540i is a bit more than i want to spend, and not motorsport. The 530i looks really good, still a bit high in price (considering the one Ray sold at $1 res a while back got $7500). Really like the titan silver and alcantara interior. Will probably contact them. Price isnt firm, could stretch it a bit for the right car.

In the market for a new car, looking for something decedent to play with. Want it preferably 2000+, but will keep options open on that one. Must be 3L or more, and must be manual. Likely looking at 330i, 130i, 530i or a 540i i guess. Would love Martins M5 but the better half didnt seem so keen on me spending THAT much. Looking to pay upto $10k. Prefer lower North Island, but will also keep options open there too. Will need to factor transport into price if its not local.

Dave isnt much better recently, to be frank.

or because its less boring than silver?

cant say i have heard of them selling the car of anyone caught doing 200kph+, but they do impound it for 28 days. Skids or high speeds, its obvious which should hold the higher penalty.

Yeah, see thats the info this article is missing. Useless media.

seems VERY excessive to take and sell the car. There must be more to the story, had he already had two past "strikes" or something? At least he gets something back from the sale of the car (or in this case looks like the debt was wiped), so all isnt lost like when they crush "boy racers" cars.

Thats the only way to drive an M3.... its great fun!

The repair in question is hotmix, not tar. Thank goodness.

By getting stuck in wet grass?

Yup, that was a dumb move Thats gorgeous. What color is it? E: ah i see, BURGUNDROT METALLIC. Manual too.

i know a few people that have used Wheel Magician multiple times, and we use them lots at work and the only issue i have heard was they once mismatched the color, but sorted that out easily. Havent heard of any flaking or peeling. My old boss had all 4 of his Evo X BBS wheels done multiple times without issue.

Sounds familiar, http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/76315304/Abandoned-car-at-Wellington-Airport-linked-to-Colombian-jewellery-thefts Wouldnt touch it.

Thats an awesome splitter, really suits the car.

is that a leather center console? lush.

My 323i was horribly gutless. IMO drive it for what it is, save up and buy something more powerful at a later date. You wont get far modifying the 323.

if the wheel cleaner they use is anything like the stuff we have at work, its not really surprising. That sh*t is brutal, its proper acid. Works mint though!

Got any more pictures of the rear diffuser?

+1 this. The buyer of the E36 M3 wont be looking to buy an E46 at all.

Sounds similar to my 523i before i did the vanos on it. Need to get it scanned first though, otherwise its just throwing money at a problem hoping it sticks. Mine was a real dog when cold, surging and was damn near impossible to cruise smoothly at low-mid throttle (would surge and jerk until i let off or gave it more gas). Made it interesting leaving my old parking building when cold.

Mercedes cars have no soul. AMG make good noises but beyond that they have no personality and feel like an appliance. Go sit in one and tell me it feels special. BMW is at least still passionate about what they are making.

I remember seeing it around in Wellington a couple of years ago, the plate is familiar. Looked really tidy back then. That color certainly turns heads!
