Unfortunately the day I leave my phone at home (so no photo)... spotted a white i8 travelling south on SH1, heading into the Terrace tunnel. Friggin heck! what a beautiful machine!

I've seen this on Taranaki street, nearly broke my neck ogling.

You really want to chance it?

you can buy them new from Bridgestone - currently a decent sale on, may include the RFTs?  Or change over to quality non-RFTs and enjoy transformed ride and handling for less money... just carry a compressor and can of SLIME (or equivalent) in the boot.  A mate who recently sold his 123D ///M did just that and never looked back.  

Good luck with your search

 

No - you are right  you are the second person to give me that advice! A friend is buying them new (both) and bringing them down from Auckland ?

Fascinating what you say about RF v Non RF - I like RFTs tho!

I've found one on Trademe - anyone know Mr Pickle? He seems to have a few BMW items for sale...

Also eager to see if anyone out there has a second?

Hi - I might be taking a shot in the dark here but do you still have this by any chance?

Hahaha I actually do! It's at a mates place for safe keeping because I recently moved house! 

Not moving up in an orderly fashion the KFC line. Dude there's space !

it really does look tidy.  230kms, if it's well maintained, that's a drop in the bucket.  And Alpinweiss?  Perfect.

Hey, Elijah - surely you need a BMW that runs?  This is perfect, yeah?

yes I've done so much to make it not be sh*t haha! but it's just not being used now

someone buy it ?

E46 Scuttle Panel

$140 Ono

(have no friggin idea how much it's worth)

Pick up only (or I'll drop off as far as Kapiti)

Yooooo

Have been sh*t useless at listing this car on TM and Driven. Does any one know some body in the need of a solid, reliable E46?

$4K

Cash 4 Cars are coming tomorrow to screw me down something chronic, but I need it gone to pay some debt.

PM me 

P.S Bengal in last photo not included, just thought he was cute.

Stand down I found Gold caliper paint from an NZ supplier - Pro Wholesale - going to touch base with them!

http://www.pro-wholesale.co.nz/vht-paint-vht-spray-paint/brake-caliper-paint-vht/

Looks like a nice car, but hopefully wont have this N47 issue.

 

That's what mechanical warranty insurance it for

if you don't get stuck behind slow traffic. 

This.

Why do people sit in the right hand lane AND NOT PASS! Ugh. Inside lane passing all day haha

Also inb4 anyone says "calipers don't get that hot" yes I am aware. I just want to signal to you all what I am looking for. Not some Warehouse Stationary paint lmao!

Hi all

I want to get my calipers painted - does anyone know of a good caliper or high temp paint in purple or gold? Those are my colour preference... If I can't get them then I will do in plain (yawn) black or red haha!

I've found these on eBay - but I'm not even sure I could get them shipped in as they are probably restricted items?

And doesn't look like VHT does caliper/high temp paint in purple or gold

Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks will put more pics up when it's had a nice clean this weekend

Back in business ya'll. For interests sakes got through 3/4 of a tank AKL to ROTO to WLG - did 700 something kms

Happy as. Love the turbo diesel!

Keeping this one pretty stock. Just tints, calipers painted, smoked indicators and maybe wrap the wheels. V happy with my purchase.

Got one! Nice 123d that has Euroho's seal of approval

Pick up in Akl next week, exciting times

i had a 120d older diesel hatch.Do not be concerned about the diesel chatter you dont really hear it from inside.Just remember you will have the on road rolling performance of a 3.0 but only paying the petrol bill of a 1.5.

my mum has a 2011 merc which is a straight 6 diesel, the chatter doesn't bother her, you just get used to it haha

The first one you linked is a great combo, DCT and N55 (same as my 335i, same dealer I bought mine from even), which is hard to find I think. If you go for the 135i the newer N55 engine is considered more reliable, but the N54 has more 'cheap' performance potential if you modify it.

I had another look at it based off you comment and I totally agree! You've actually pointed out a whole lot of things I glossed over. + it comes with an auto sure warranty which makes me happy happy

120i... only if you find them cheap, no other advantage to having the bottom of the range engine.

I have SJ (EUROHO) checking out a diesel one for me Weds/Thurs which is an NZ new, full service history, but high kms. I am looking at offering south of 15 k but will await SJs inspection

In the mean time I'm going to ring and enquire about the one you mentioned first. See what that dealer is willing to deal

lol what happened when she bought from Te Awamutu?

nothing has happened haha .... N o t h i n g

Lmfao

Go away Andy don't tell me how to buy cars hahah

My E46 has been a good girl

I like it I like keep this feedback coming

Hi guys

Who has experience in the new 1 series coupes?

Decided I want to get one by the end of the year. 6 cylinder or a diesel. Budget 25k (would prefer to spend 20k). Been trawling Trademe and Gulliver. Any one able to give me some advices?

135i:

Diesel (4 cylinder):

If anyone has one/has a mate thinking about a selling then let me know. I'm in no hurry doing my due diligence now, but if an opportunity was to present itself then deals can be done haha

Saw the ghost of SJ's Delilah in Newtown Countdown. Sidled up next to mine. Recognisable now only by minor traces of the minty green goodness peaking out from under the plasti dip.
