Hope everyone is having a great day. I am looking to forward to being part of the 'bimmersport' community. Currently, don't have any wheels, but will be moving back to NZ and looking to getting another Bavarian beast. Last car was an E30 325i in NZ and that was almost 7 years ago, been away since.
My other hobbies include flying, surfing and riding motorbikes.
I would love to stretch the budget and pull the trigger on an E46 M3 but unfortunately due to daily driver and financial requirements I am looking at at an E46 330ci.
My search has led me to look at one particular 330ci, theres one on trademe - http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-894291297.htm that has caught my attention. I have read that the SMG gearbox can be quite troublesome and expensive to fix. Also, 15k for this car seems a bit steep. Could someone please shed some light more on the car or the topic of 330ci with SMG (quite rare specimen or what I have read so far).
Your Input is appreciated.
P.S. I am based in Indonesia at the moment, if you need tips about discovering Indonesia/Bali especially some interesting surf spots or night life, will be glad to pass them on.
