Anyone know the history of this car? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-920399039.htm

No, I sold my 328 in September Back then prices were (AA website) 98 was av. $2.30 (328ci @ 60 litrs $142) Diesel was av. $1.52 in most stations Diesel at unmannned Caltex in Old Hutt Road (wgtn) was $1.22 (45 ptrs @ $1.22 = $54.90)

There's no doubt RUC hits the diesels in the pocket, but its still cheaper to run than my last two cars... I do 650 kms a week and my 123D does it on around $75 including RUC (a full tank is around $50 and I get 1100 kms plus RUC of $58 per thou). My 328i cost $145 to fill and did 620kms (when gas was $2.20) and I briefly ran a Polo GTI which was $90 (@$2.20) to fill and did 670kms a tank. Roughly, $ for $ including RUC I figure it makes the cost of diesel motoring about the same as petrol, but its the much better economy from a tank and the huge torque of the diesel which makes it fun to drive and cheap to run. Torque (295 lbs) as a E90 M3. I was never a fan of diesels until I spent 3 months driving one in Europe - not huge power and not peaky, just s***loads of torque and handled really well, just fun to drive.

Okay Pics as promised...My Bimmer 328 and 998 and 999 Ducati's

Hey No I didn't, but I'm off to the World Superbikes at Phillip Island next weekend - should be a blast! Pics to follow shortly Cheers

Hi everyone My name Steve and I'm new to this forum. I've currently got an '00 E46 328ci, which I've had for a couple of years, she's done 75kms. This is my second Bimmer, folllowing an '96 E36 328 I had for a while. I've got a thing for Eurpoean cars and bikes - when I'm not in the Bimmer I also run two Ducatis - a 998 Bayliss and a 999. I'm keen to learn a lot more about BM's so look forward to talking with a few of you. Cheers Steve
