On that red beauty I'd be looking for some e34 M5 turbines, very close era/style match to those TRX's.

do you mean these - style 20?

seems like a good idea to me.

I thought Style 3 would be awesome, but only available in 15".

Here's a few to be going on with. ;-)

Graham has just clocked this thread. #; )

looks like a score, Andrew. #8 )

So, you've spotted something cool in a movie. what, when?

The Numbers Station: Silver E38 on Style 32s as getaway car nearly 10 mins from the end.

15 years ago they were 4500-5000 pounds (STG) in Germany. I had plans to go and buy one in 2002, and register it in the UK. Sadly work dried up for me, I sold my e30 touring and returned to Niu Zild in Sept 2001. If I'd bought an e30 M3 as planned and brought it back, I'd be well made up!

"tell him he's flamin' dreamin'!!"

looks really pretty tidy. GLWS!

Bump.

Patience isnt one of my strong points. Will probably end up with a subaru or something soon

use the force, not the farce!

Make me an offer for the 540i touring! i cant let you go to the dark side!

indeed, Subaru - for all their positive points - are still a japanese car... there are points of difference from other japanese cars, but hey.... they're just not the dynamic drive that the cars that Kelvin's talking about are known for. The similarity is that Subarus are a relatively high-cost maintenance commitment, like our BM's.

Be patient Kelvin, bide your time. winter's coming, folks will be quitting their toys...

sounds good to me Graham. We could have reduced a number of waiting lists for cancer ops around the country, in addition to the rail link.

NZ no longer has a left and a right, only the outdated notion of such #8 )

agreed. I've not seen normally intelligent people confusing the question of a new flag with one 'side' or the 'other' of our two main centrist parties! How people get "left" or "right" out of two parties so closely aligned with the middle, is beyond me. #8 )

Most folks I know were concerned about the state of the logos proposed not offering a genuine alternative to our existing flag.

It was an interesting exercise; how differently could we have used that $26M eh? Hey ho, at least the final referendum question was clear and unambiguous; that in itself should be celebrated. #8 )

welcome, Chris. I've noticed - and admired - your touring around the traps #8 )

so it's really a rebuilt write-off? If so, that's outrageous! Car Jam Link

I'm particularly impressed with the seller's photography of local foliage, with his touring obscured in the background. Who got a 50 f1.8 for their birthday, then?

Anyway, the alpinweiss looks nice and shiny. With a bit more use it might catch up with Graham's 320d in the mega-mileage stakes #8 )

looks nice, and I should think the purchaser is happy with acquisition at close to $20k. All things considered, it's a 9 year old BMW performance 3 series coupe, that should be about top dollar for them now in terms of depreciation vs maintenance.

yep, the fuel guage is similar. 'E' is for 'Enough'. F is for Fark-all.

thanks Kyu and Dave, I've sent Ollie a PM with a link to this thread. He was online earlier today, so hasn't gone dormant...

here's hoping we can get some laser-cut vinyl love.

ooooh, that sounded a bit dodgy eh

what did I do to my BMW (yester)day? Got the Style 194's on with new RE-003s (225/45/17 & 245/40/17).

If Toyota australia might allow: "what a feeling".

First rain this morning in wellington for a goodly while. First impressions are very positive.

still keen too.

who's Ollie? I don't mean that to sound disrespectful; just not sure what the forum name is.

woohoo, I've just got my Amazon Prime working, both on puter and on my Amazon FireTV.

So I now have a front-row seat.... when's the show starting?

I'm rather taken with that idea.

Dave, the ad reads:

Breyton Magic wheels off BMW E46 3 series but would also suit E36.

Some curbing as shown in photos.

ET44 offset. PCD 5x120.

Toyo C1S 225/40 tyres. 3x with 2-3mm even tread, 1x with 1-1.5mm tread worn on inside (may or may not pass WOF)

don't give up CJ, talk to Ray! He'll build you one to order, or bring your own tired 316Ti along and blammo, 325/330Ti!

c'mon you guys, take the hint. Ray makes these to order!

I love the epic fail of this auction - forget the Olaf 'rules of how to win at TradeMe'.

Prospective buyer: "Do you have any more photo's? (never mind the unnecessary apostrophe - this guy wants to see more skin before he gets into bed)

Vendor GOLD answer: a few but they are basically the same. A 325ti is a 325ti (that's right, I'm too lazy to actually help the sale, and I don't care if I'm sounding a little bit evasive/dodgy!)

let's extrapolate that. "oh, I need some oil. Hmmm - well, oil is oil, here's some 30/40 from 1970". "what's that mister garage, I need some brake pads? Sure, brakes are brakes". "oh, you want pictures to get a better idea of condition? who cares about condition, you'll buy this like a blind man. come to Bruce's car sales, my cars are just cars as you'd expect".

I won't go on...

ooooooooooooooh! new season of Banshee starts next month. A 4th season of madness - cool!

sh*t Kyu, this means you're going to have to sell me your e46 330i!

Spotted EUROHO's old E46 with the green-ish wheels in Wellington. Never seen it in person before and it's very impressive. Stands out well. Was surprised to see it here. Hopefully they'll join the forum!

Yeah i saw it at NZ Car Parts as i drove past, they were looking at the front guards so maybe they learnt already how not to live the low life????

I saw it today too, out near hutt park raceway at lunchtime.
