Not to ruin your Monday morning Sammo, but is your LH kidney crooked 😂

Low Km's or 10K in maintenance and 14K in the bank...

Estee Lauder reps working in England??

Looking stunning! You and Harper (and Sammo!) have really lifted the E46 interior game in NZ.

M57S is the TU2 TOP is it not? Only offered in the 35d models / Alpina diesels. Without seeing actual spec sheets, the major difference I can think of is that the E46 will be iron block and the E90 aluminium. Factor in the weight they carved out of the E90 with copious uses of not-steel, and the argument for the E90 becomes stronger. There's some key maintenance items on an E90 diesel that need doing, but do them and you're golden - I've been stranded once in 50,000km (in my driveway of all places) and it was the comfort access module.

I assume the blue M sport E46 330d 6spd on Marketplace got snapped up?

No finer E30 than a red 318iS!

Oh to go back to 2015...

@HELLBM anything on the shelf Ray?

a 4dr M325i for when we all decide to go up a tad? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/540i/listing/4418421706 Unbelievable value surely when E34 M5's of the same standard are 100K+. Added bonus of that they're faster than a 3.6 too.

Very very cool! Was this the one for sale on Rotiforms a while ago? Pretty much what Apex said word for word is why I want one!

There are very very good printed copies on eBay for not silly money, but there's just something about Magnesium that my bank account can't resist.

One of two Imola. Not sure if they're the basic comfort seats or the speccy E38 "comfort" seats, but it has differing seats.

Longshot, but I'm after a full set of parts 2 and 3 if there's some tucked away in somebody's shed collecting dust. I've got two sets of NOS centrecaps (5) if you wanted to do a trade of some kind. Also, the M6 bolts (4) are a slightly different length from Turbines to Throwing Stars if you've got those tucked away as well.

Who else clicked on this thinking @Kees had done something stupid again 😂 I got peddled around Brands Hatch in a Radical R400 - nothing else since has come close to being as visceral. I can see why this type of car gets people more hooked than heroin.

DID SOMEONE SAY 2-DR TOURING E30?!? I would do shameful, sinful things for one of the four Luchjenbroers Tourings, especially the BBS kitted ones. https://www.e30.de/fotostory/f02340/f02340.htm

Pretty sure Ammo NYC did a clear coat rejuvenation video?

The kit is a replica, but the bodywork that went into it means that it shouldn't matter. Doubt you could build it for that price!

Had my 313's re-diamond cut and then re-cleared. Previous owner had them plastidipped, because as mentioned they all do that.

Nothing to do with the fact that a pallet of parts from the warehouse will fit in the tray, and not in a Touring though...

Sure it wasn't Lindsay Lohan's transformation after the remake that traumatised you?

I'm absolutely convinced that the GT3 is the greatest "single car garage" car of all time.

Just me or did the Evo 1 have much more appeal when it was an honest unrestored example rather than having half the classic parts catalogue thrown at it?

A bunch of left hook Perosangue's on Italian plates are rolling around too, must be the season for it. Looks awesome in the flesh!

When we were in 4th year at uni and needed to clear our heads, me and the flatties would do what we called "the hot lap." Auckland - loop of the coromandel - Auckland. It was an awesome way to waste some fuel (when 96 was $1.60) and spend 8hrs listening to music with the windows down. We're older and wiser now, and the hill from Coro airport to Matarangi is now fully sealed, but I still love blasting those roads to get to the beach house. Is there a better colour than silver that shows just how pumped the quarters on an E46 M3 really are? None of the darker or pastel colours can match imho, and yours looks so bloody good with the 18x9.5's.
