Hi All I'm looking for a couple of things for my 2003 convertible m3 and was wondering if anyone was able to help. 1. I'm looking for angle eye's for my head lights 2. A e46 m3 bad boy bonnet with air vents at the top (as per attached photo) 3. I'm contemplating on a wide body kit or a M3 GTR body kit. Does anyone know where i can get these 3 things from and the costs? The type of hood I'm after (although this doesn't have the air vents at the top): .

Thanks all. I'll continue to use 98 then (even if the price is ridiculously high) See you all this Monday

Hi All, Now this may sound like a stupid question, but as i always say there is no such thing.... I’m a bit confused ( ) as to whether I should be using 91 or 98 fuel in my M3. I was reading a post here http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/04/16/004226.html and it stated that it uses 91....Now I’ve been using 98. Is it better to use 91 for my BMW? I always thought 98 would give you more power and be better for your engine?

There are a couple that I found but they are dvd/cd/mp3/nav man etc player. However they are all plug and play and cost around the $800 mark. In saying this if you slip a cd player in your car and want the steering controls to work, your looking at an extra $300 on top so kinda makes sense to get the dvd/cd/mp3/nav unit.

Hey Renming, How you doing? Hey can you still get one of these units? I need one for my e46 M3...Give me a call mate. 021 400 611 Also can you install? Thanks Emad

Thanks for the reply Matt. After doing some further research I found out exactly what I want to do. But as you stated I will need to see the guys at rapid to get the proper install done....

Hi Guys/Heino I'm looking to do the same setup but I had a couple of questions.. 1. How does the sound system sound after you installed the sub and amp. Do you get any distortion or is it a clean sounding system. I went to rapid radio and they said it maybe best to replace the entire system....I dont really like touching the current setup as the speakers on a E46 m3 are installed differently so i would need to drill holes in the door (and I'm not a fan at all) 2. I'm assuming your setup is that you have just the front speakers and the sub going through the sub? I really want a better sound system as my BMW doesn't have the harman/kardon setup Thanks in advance guys....

Thanks all...they are awesome cars. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of getting one. As pointed out i joined in 2008 when i got my z4 but sold it so didn’t have a BMW any more But now I’m back with vengeance Bring on the sunny weather! I saw the red one...looks awesome!

Its one of those colours where you either hate it or love it...I love it...not to mention that its Manual and Convertible..extremely hard to find.

Thanks mate. hahah guess they are popular cars and I can see why

So after selling my Z4, I searched around and brought this. Drives awesome! Will get some more high quality photos when the sun is out over this xmas period Really looking forward to the big cruises and even considering the cannonball run

haha funny!

2 of my fav cars right there. M3 and GTR....Looking good!

Thanks lowner. My background is Persian, but I’ve been here since I was 3.

Thanks matey. They are a great looking car and a lot of fun to drive. Especially on days like yesterday (Sunday)

Thanks jochen! Ill give that a try tonight.

Hi guys, This might of come up before but does anyone know how to change the radio frequency of a '03 Z4 from Japan to NZ. The only station i can listen to is 88.6 and god its making my ear drums bleed. Would i have to get an expander and if so where from, how much and how hard are they to install?

How they get it so shinny?

I saw that telecom have changed their plans. But seems to be a bit backwards....going from unlimited to a 40gig Limit. Whatever happened to their "the internet is now unleashed! All you can have bla bla bla" Campaign Re Artical: This artical is reletivly new. I was there from 2004/5. 2 -3 years before started their much required upgrade. If you read my last post i said "One of the main problems was that Telecom was using very old equipment within the cabinets" My whole point is that what they are doing now should have happened 7 to 10 years ago. Not 3 years after they decided to aggressively market broadband! If this was the case we would be on par with the rest of the world.

One of the main problems was that Telecom was using very old equipment within the cabinets. Thus these cabinets couldn’t handle the load. Also it was an actual stated fact that Telecom where allocated more than the recommended amount of people per ADSL line. If they had spent the time to upgrade the cabinets currently out there, then we wouldn’t have been where we are today. I would say that VADSL will be out of most kiwis reach for at least 4 years. Although the technology is there it’s a simple economic rule of adopters VS cost. The less technology adopters there are the more the service will cost.

I’m sorry but NZ broad band is the slowest and most over priced I have ever seen. I was in the UK paying 18pounds/month for a 13mb line and unlimited usage. Now before people make the common mistake of saying "that’s $40NZish" it came to around 1.2% of my monthly pay. Over here I'm paying $120/month for a 3mb line and only 20gig limit. Now that’s 3% of my monthly pay. That’s a massive jump. Both are ADSL2 so they are using the same service/technology. The problem in this country is that Tele-crap is so greedy they never invested into their infrastructure until roughly 3 years ago (I used to work for them). They had this massive campaign for New Zealanders to uptake broadband and yet they had a 3rd world infrastructure. This is the reason why it was so slow when it first came out. Also it’s the same reason why they can’t offer unlimited any more. Their exchanges just can’t handle the demand! It’s been an ongoing battle and frankly it’s going to take around 5 years for us to remotely catch up to the rest of the developed world! Its ridicules that this countries majority users are on Dial Up!!!! This also applies to our cell phone networks to.....we are overpaying......how a country of 4 million people generate a 2.3ish billion market for cell phone use means only one thing....we are getting ripped off! My rant for the day!

Thanks guys! I was going to sell it and get either an m3 or z4M but decided to hold off for now. Besides with the NZ summer here it the perfect time to have a Z. In regards to the supercharger, after talking to Glen (really helpfull member/nice guy) im going to give up on that dream. haha

It was a sunny day so I took my baby out with my brother and had some fun.

Found this on the net and it looks to be the new z4.....looks quite nice.... I may have to get rid of my z4 to get this bad boy!

Thanks for the info Glenn.
