Yeah, sorry forgot to put the comedy font on that statement. Which is which why I started the next line with "But seriously..."

Last time I looked at the BBS website I thought they still had a lot of the older styles available, certainly the E50s I was after were on there.

I did suspect that. But I sometimes tend to be as clueless as a Choir boy in a Whore house.

All those out there running BBS RS reps on their E30s take a long hard look at yourselves. See what you have done!!

People buying replica wheels that are out of production for a long time makes no difference to the Company going Bankrupt. There's other factors such as mismanagement & poor marketing which is probably what was the cause of the downfall. The Corona virus just accelerated it. 

Look at Rolex watches for example. How many people wear fake Rolex watches? But Rolex still does well because of the marketing and the hype. 

P.S. Genuine BBS RS wheels are more over priced than houses in Auckland. BBS should have brought these wheels (15"/16") back into production seeing the demand for them.

Ah, with that chrome sMg badge on the centre console it is DEFINITELY worth 70k!!

That Chrome SMG Badge seems to go up in value more than an E30 M3 on trademe.

Was $45k last year.

I would have loved a manual. But I’m finding the DCT great for driving in traffic. 
 

looking at getting some lowering springs. Just trying to do some homework on which springs give the best ride. 
also not sure what sort of drop I’ll get since most springs are designed for the non m sport versions. 

I loved the DCT in my E92 335i when I had it. Really fun to drive. 
 

Dinan/H&R springs but make sure you upgrade the shocks too. Bilstein B8 are worth it. 

Those 135i are such fun cars.

Manual/DCT?

AC Schnitzer Wheels especially 3 piece on that E36 would be epic! 

Hi,

I am looking for a genuine set of BBS RS 003 16inch. 

Regards,

E28 M535i Auto - €19,900!! WTF?

The good thing about VTNZ is no appointment necessary and it was for the Suzuki Swift. Pretty sure it was $59.00 last year.

$67.00 for a WOF check at VTNZ. And an hour long waiting time. 

My experiences so far with Turner have been really good.  

Turnermotorsport?

Good luck with 130i being economical. And if you are paying $7k for one, expect to spend $1-2k on preventive maintenance. 

Looking for a Blaupunkt RDS BP6262 or similar BMW radio cassette player. 

Thanks

Looking for a 370mm Mtech 1 steering wheel. Any condition.

Regards,

Free. 
 

Sms me on 0211804565

Free to pick up. From Central Auckland.

Came off an E30 325i.

AC Schnitzer style tip.

I will as soon as I manual convert this thing and get the paintwork tidied up. Also your collection is incredible, I want an e23 and Im done 

Thanks mate.

btw, my love for old BMWs was renewed in Indonesia after not having owned a single car for almost 5 years.  Saw a black E23 on BBS dish, it was stunning! There have been some epic Barn finds in that country. Two E30 Alpinas and one actual E9 CSL race car with actual racing history that almost got forgotten about.

I am glad. We should go for a drive again sometime. 

Yes!!! Oh man. I can’t forget the look on the driver of the white E30 we went past. He couldn’t believe his eyes, hahaha. That was a mint day for it too.

We should organise a drive to Piha. Perfect roads for these cars. Just gotta watch out for Lycra gang on their Uber expensive carbon bikes. Honestly, Lycra on men should be frowned upon like speedos.

I saw you the other day on Hillside road and literally starting salivating. That car is so beautiful. I would never let it go if I were you. 

Thanks mate. You should come to the BMW meets.

Fair enough man, looked awesome at the meet and they are not making them anymore!

Haha, exactly! That’s what I was thinking - what would I replace her with? I have an E30, would love an E24 too. I am gonna take it to a good paint shop and get the bumpers and bonnet sorted. Too many stone chips. 

Sorry everyone, I have been a bit slack with responding to messages. I have decided to keep the car.  I had an offer of $20k (yes you read that right) on the table but couldn’t let it go. I love driving this car too much. I will be listing an E92 335i shortly. 

When a M car shows up in a Porno - perfect excuse to give to the missus.
