Bimmersport is up again lol.

Tomorrow the internet connection for bimmersport is going down, theres a reasonable chance I'll have it back up tomorrow night at the new place. In the meantime there is a new crew that are going to host it, they have a copy of the site as of tonight but theres been some issues around changing the name servers in time. Best case its back up tomorrow night. Worst case its down a week or so while the issues with the domain are sorted. Chur.

But only worth $3k right?

Never. Wasn't getting enough people on fb market place asking if it's still available so I dropped asking to $7200

Yeah, we liked it because it never got hot in the sun.

Yeah I was thinking 8's probably worth starting at. Have put it on market place for $8.5k

Got my white one which I need to now sell, I'm seeing a wide range of pricing but what's a fair price for a 2006 white manual 130i with 220k on the clock? It's in good running condition with no oil leaks etc.

Yeah I can do whatever including migrating it.

To update, the server this site is on will be switched off in 90 days as I'm moving out, a linode instance big enough to host it will be $50usd a month if anyone wants to take it over (probably similar price on AWS/Azure). Think I've hosted this site now for 12 or so years. Once again contact Ollie if you are serious about taking it over.

Fixed it. I might be moving house in the near future so will probably take the site down for good unless someone wants to take this over from Ollie and Andrew. Talk to them and not me, there have been some threads in the past about them wanting to hand the site over to someone else.

When my starter motor recently failed I gave it a whack with the hammer, it then went from not doing anything to making a whirring noise and smelling like burning.
