They'd need the ballast to ignite them. Best bet is plug them into a car with xenons I guess!

If it had lower kms I'd be tempted. It would get a de badge and new wheels, but still a decent looking (and performing) car.

**sold**

PM'd

Cheers mate. The factory wheels were 17" staggered style 68 wheels. Like this:

Hey guys, I'm selling the E46 330i if anyone is looking for one. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=457625194 Details: 2001 330i msport 72kms New 18" wheels with Dunlops (18x8, 18x9) Sunroof Xenons Fully spec'd interior (electric suede memory seats) DICE kit for iPod/iPhone $18k for BS

Cheers for the excellent service again Johno. Here's a quick photo of the 330i - the wheels look quite different in real life though. 18x8 et35 front, and 18x9 et35 rear.

Haha cheers man - I bet the GF gets sick of guys checking the car out! Sounded great.

Just saw Dylan in the E30 M3 on the North Western - that is one good looking car, nice work. (I was in the silver 330i)

Couldn't agree more.

What also influences purchase behaviour/'willingness to spend' is people's needs and creating value for them. To you, an E46 M3 might be the only E46 you'd own, because it's the quickest. To others, a 318i might be the only E46 they'd own because it balances a quality car with fuel economy, cheap insurance etc. You wouldn't pay as much for a 318i as they would. They wouldn't pay as much for an M3 as you would, simple. It's never a clear black/white scenario as to the value of a car. It's value depends on the person's perceptions, which is where a seller can influence above and beyond the simple specs of a car. Unfortunately you still need the demand to justify the price you're commanding (which is where the other thread will fall flat). On top of this, Bimmersport is full of people with an immense knowledge on cars - don't forget that you know more about cars than most buyers on TradeMe, especially when it's a BMW up for grabs.

At a guess, maybe Surplustronics on Queen St? www.surplustronics.co.nz

Still looking...

Likewise - I've bought three off him and had top service each time.

I had that once thanks to a Mento that someone dropped under the seat. Make sure there is no food on the floor - a good vacuum helps too. Good luck!

Obviously I'm going to recommend Glenn at Botany Motor Worx. If you can't make it to Botany, try Burger's Motor Works in Wairau road - he's awesome.

Haha good try! The 320d would have been perfect. Ended up borrowing a nice '05 330ci M-Sport. Did the trick, and convinced me to buy a 330i over the weekend too. Win - win.

That is a good price - shame they're in Welly though

Hey all, Does anyone have a set of wheels sitting in the garage they want to get rid of? Looking for a set of 18" wheels for an E46. Prefer OEM, replicas, or BBS etc. Looking to spend up to $1k with tyres for a clean set. Cheers

Haha that would have been epic. Cheers anyway

Haha only issue is I sold it! All sorted now thanks guys!

Hey guys, My sister is getting married on the North Shore tomorrow and is using 3x E46 Msports as her wedding cars. Except one just overheated. Does anyone have a silver or black E46 Msport I can borrow? It'll come back shiny, full of gas, and with beers/money. Sorry - strange question I know. Thanks! Simon

In October, I sold my 2001 525i Motorsport for $14,800 (this one: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/upload...319_100863.jpg) It had 120kms, but also had aftermarket 19" Beyern wheels and a DICE iPod kit. I think $16k would be an achievable price considering the condition, kms, service history etc. But it all comes down to excellent photos and a good ad.

Hey, I've sold the touring and never got around to putting these on. 4x BMW CF centre caps 60mm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=441898258 $55 if you want them.

Good idea - you can always get the curbing repaired at a later date - think it's around $100 a rim.
