Just seen an absolutely mint, very early 320i facelift, 4 door manual offered for sale. €8500. Bit out of the way for easy collection, sadly. It's in Lithuania.

Can't find that one now! (I know how to rebuild a 928 gearbox... )

This looks like one that was for sale less than 12 months ago. Was in decent condition, but by no means perfect.

52" of trim strip.

Afterthought is wonderful! Not sure they'd have shipped well together - our order arrived in a 6' long, 4" diameter tube.

Ordered from them on Oct 18th. Arrived this morning - would have been sooner but for the 4-day weekend we had here.

Nothing wrong with a hub dyno. The only issue I can quickly think of is that it may give slightly different results to a rolling road (which may be less precise than a hub dyno). $190 doesn't sound expensive, even if you're only there for 30 minutes. You could be there for an hour. When I had my E30 dyno'd (in the UK) it cost £110, and that was over 10 years ago.

Much, much rarer than a M3. Shame it's just never really been used, but that's reflected in the condition.

On a concrete floor in front of a bench. You even get to trample on some smug gits face while working.

A number of 'excitingly' priced listings.

Does look nice. But for $38k asking I'd really expect to see more than a half-picture of the interior, and none of the engine bay or boot.

Farmers are fed up with blanket water-related rates being applied by local councils when the majority of farms never touch town water systems. There are worrying rumours of council plans to charge folk who catch rainwater based on roof area. NIWA have had regs around bore holes and abstraction for ages so this could the next 'idea'.

Saw some of the Domain stuff on TV. Looked great.

E30 prices are officially nuts. (Note: In my opinion. ) $500 will buy: If the seller can get this, then good for them. I, and I've no doubt others, will be kicking themselves for the many skips full of similar parts that we've thrown away over the years!

Or the death where a motorcyclist was knocked into the barriers, caught in the ropes, and suffered fatal trauma as a result of the ropes. Not the vehicle that pushed him there. NZTA bought the land for SH2 around Napier, they cut costs and built a single carriageway road. SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAND THEY BOUGHT. So any additional lanes will now need to be a single lane added each side, causing twice the chaos, twice the work, at least twice the time, and (probably) 4 times as much money. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid... What is telling is the recent dramatic increase in the number of 'traffic management' companies operating. 'Management' is, of course, politically correct speak for slowing traffic even further..

I used to live in Clevedon. Central Hawke's Bay is a little further away. Hope your daughter is much better very soon - we're sitting ours, too, following a major op earlier in the week.

Rear sedan seats: $1000. Red leather seats: $2000. Wow.
