hybrid

harden up ... get stiffer shocks / springs

hehe .. wait till it has the m3 bumper with evo III splitter / spolier .. my driveway is not friendly either ... in the e46 I already drive down the foot path to a better exit else I'm on two wheels, hang up.

thanks trev for making this forum one of your rounds for posting you lot get ready for daily entertainment

nooooooooes ... poor e46

Hes the reason you guys see pretty much most of the car videos worth watching on youtube / streetfire etc etc. His actually job is to post vids on forums around the world. and in return his site (dpccars) generates traffic for ads .. pretty good concept and we all win. the man is relentless in his video postings

hehe .. looks like my brothers evo4 after he rolled it six time a couple of years back. Tough lil cars those.

Trev!!!! welcome to New Zealand .. (trevs world famous)

You talked to your school about putting out a notice about it .. and that the police will be involved next time ? Spose all thats going to do is make the problem worse .. I dont know ..

You will be able to get that fixed .. dent wise .. but it will leave crinkles ... Your probably looking at about $250 to get that prepped and painted ... I hate to say it tho .. reds a real bitch to match as your car would of had paint fade from the original colour. .. they will match it tho. Other option is second hand door / straight to paint shop ... maybe cheap as. This is my worse fear ... coming back to some prick who thinks that your car is a "daddy's boy" car .. when infact you worked your ass off and spent obsurd amounts of $$$ on it getting it the way it is. If I ever find someone doing this to someones car ... seriously .. bringing the darkness aye.. really feel for you dude ...

haha ... number plate similarities ... Im mc'lovin the look of yours aye ... so phat. I was thinking that would be a good addition to an m-tech 1 bumper actually, black lip similar to the BTCC cars.

just f**ken tough . we gonna be twins sort of

I can see the buyer comments now "wil u tak trade on corolla on bagz + sum csh"

Some good lock bolts for your BMW Kit includes 2 sets of 4 wheel locks. 1 set is the same size as the stock lug studs (26.4mm) , the other set is longer (33.3mm) for use on cars with wheel spacers. about $150 landed other cheaper ones. Protect your valuable wheels and tires against theft. Bavarian Autosport wheel locks will give you peace of mind without sacrificing your BMW's looks. Precision machined from stainless steel. Sold in sets of 4. see on http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp

yeah .. think Kaaz were the first to do it.

This is part of a new line from BMW currently only e46 but the line of OEM (with factory warrenty) items will grow over the coming year to stretch to most models. While the prices are on the high side they also hold true BMW quailty.

Nah its just a different ratio for the manual guys. Unfortunitly BMW stand firm with the M program only receiving LSD's for all 3 series. the TMS one will fit e9x/z4 too and has easily serviceible parts.

looks real nice man ... congrats ! ... think i've seen you floating around the shore too ..

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detai...ODUCT_ID=LSDTMS around $2500 landed ... not too bad

nice work dude What duty cycle do they reckon your injectors will run ?

you what! ? did you ask him "what will happen if I curb it against the bog"

on a serious note .. had a look into Superchips and others like Dinan, Active autowerks, Technik etc etc. They do make some good mild gains... Best mated with a great flowing exhaust and intake system ... will give you some more power. Not sure if its worth the money though. Certainly not for the 330i ... your 328i may have picked up some better gains however.

cheers for the comments. Nah the buldge is purely cosmetic .. however, I'm looking at the possibilties of running one of these 9% more airflow with some Super Sprint headers and hi flow cat to complete my intake and exhaust conversion.

This is actually really annouying. There are no real facts the government have put out yet, which is pretty unacceptible really. The same feascoe happened when we had the change to unleaded fuel. Just some cold hard facts and maybe some pre testing of effects on introducing this on older vehicles in New Zealand wouldn't go a miss. The other thing is it doesnt help when agenda fueled (excuse the pun) NZ toyota gets up and says that it will work with toyotas models bought in NZ but if its from japan "We just dont know, but I wouldnt put it in our jap model cars". How convenient. Essentially all e10 (bio fuel) is is 10% ethanol mixed into standard petroleum. **EDIT Some reports I've found of interest http://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/NewPDF...report-v3.1.pdf http://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/NewPDF...ocument-v10.pdf http://www.beehive.govt.nz/ViewDocument.as...ocumentID=28365

hehe nah, about a year a go I had it done. Its a 330i (sedan) bonnet thats had the "power buldge" (yes its called that ) metal extruded. In other words ..no bog or welded on bits ... A very skilled panel beater did that for me. (as well as the flaring of the gaurds and welding and forming of the m3 front guards) quite stoked as it came out looking like part of the car.
