Powergys are the updated Dragon Sport - meant to be OK. 19’s are all expensive though, ~500 / corner RRP for a name brand. Hankook Ventus / Falken / Nexen NFera may be worth a look?
-
The E65 7 series wheels and missing engine cover would make me think that's been thrashed to within an inch of its life (having said that there probably aren't many e9x 335's that haven't at this point)
-
@Eagle fair - the M43 was the last good one
-
Definitely sit tight and wait for a good one @Mark D. A car with history off the forum likely to be a better bet than a dealer. BMW manual boxes are an acquired taste and the ZF6 auto works fairly well in the 130. Don’t get a 4 cyl petrol BMW.

See if @Jacko will sell you the silver one he is fixing atm?
-
Does look nice apart from that classic 00’s poverty spec grey interior. Space grey paint looks good on these though

Truly the worst example of a manual E30 touring I can imagine.

Options on removal of Japanese plate brackets?
balancerider replied to Deek9000's topic in General Discussion
definitely - as @M3ANsays, drill the plate to match the existing holes in the bumper rather than the classic used car sales trick (see exhibit A below) of drilling a million holes in the bumper to attach the plate. -
Change navigation language E60 525i import
balancerider replied to OutcastPerformance's topic in General Discussion
Hi - the maps will be Japanese, given the age of the vehicle it won't be worthwhile putting AU / NZ maps on (they will have stopped updates several years ago). Get a windscreen mount for your phone? -
@M3AN you can flash ID4 Pro Nav to ID5-6 to get CarPlay. Need EntryNav2 (2017 onwards) to get CarPlay in the small screen cars.
-
Upgraded to Pro Nav screen and controller - actually quite straightforward, lifts the interior quite a bit. A shame native CarPlay isn’t possible with NBT EVO Business Nav
-
you'd wanna be pretty sure the chassis was straight given it's been deregistered. I think probably a better candidate for engine / drivetrain swap.

Welcome - love a touring. Pix please

👀👀👀 (runs off to search Ebay.co.uk for salvage E46 M3's)

@Vass IKR! Trademe showed me a bare engine S54 for 14k.
