    It's back. This time at $29k. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4154913564 But for the same money I'd definitely be buying this: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4152972514

    If one were to have lost a couple of fairly rare and recognisable wheels in a roadside heist, and then saw some very, very similar rims for sale as a pair in a mismatched set of four, should one feel aggrieved?

    1989 Mercedes 500SE. 8.5km per litre, almost regardless of how it is driven. Almost... Some spirited excursions can see it drop considerably. Never going to be as bad as my old Jensen though. Got that down to well below 2mpg. About 0.76km per litre. 🤣

    <Ahem> Me, sir! Had a couple of 222s. Loved them.

    Is an E9x M3 comparable in the 'genetics' sense to an E30, E36 or even E46? Maybe not. Is it a lovely car to drive? Definitely. In 2008' Car and Driver' suggested it bordered on perfection. It's a great car. DCT or manual? Personal preference. PFL or FL? Just get the best one you can.

    Cheap tyres, scabby-looking rims, no rim centres...

    "I was told the OD stopped working fairly recently when I purchased the car." I wonder when that was?

    $4k for reps. $5k *start* for a rolling shell with some rust and poor paint. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4114880204

    Quick rant thread.

    Why do so many people park a car up, and let the rego lapse? Apparently they don't know that keeping rego live requires a zero-cost once-a-year activity. But they do know it'll re-register without any issue!

    PFL 318i auto coupe - $25k. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4091296818 Very good-looking example. But.. $25k? Not ideally located for a sale, either, although we did buy the Baur from Dunedin. Fly down, drive back.

    Just seen an E30 rolling shell advertised for $5k. No engine, gearbox or diff, no front seats. No close-up pics. I thought maybe the market was coming back a little - recently seen WoF'd and rego'd cars listed for $10k, perhaps a little less. Most were 320i autos.

    Our Baur is 'Dolphin'. Well, Dolphin Grey. As opposed to Delphin, or Delphin Grau...
