  1. @KwS made four posts on the first page actually, and only one of them could be construed as conjecture, the rest were excellently raised points in the context of a "for sale" thread on a forum, especially when the information given by the seller was less than crystal clear.
  2. I heard a similar thing in the High Court of New Zealand once, the presiding judge described council's argument as "very deleterious to your case."
  3. lol wut? The all alloy 1UZ is widely regarded as a brilliant V8. 6 bolt mains and oversquare bore further cements its credentials.
  4. E28 looks STUNNING on those Typ2 splitties! Can't wait to see the kit on as well.
  5. It's all the same part sharing really, see https://www.bimmerworld.com/About-Us/F30-M-Sport-Brakes/ Genuinely surprised to see that the retrofit kits run a differently sized disc and pad for the same caliper though, but you can run the same larger discs and pads in the S2NH option blue calipers, as the caliper and mount is the same. I'd be shocked if there wasn't multitudes of off the shelf pads on offer if you ran the brembo caliper part number past a competent brake specialist, some proper two piece rotors and not bmw pads would be a great option instead of getting tucked for stock garbage at the stealership, but that's a thread for another day.
  6. Not an isolated event with the F30 "blues" unfortunately, a friend had exactly the same experience.
  7. M539 on youtube should be essential viewing for anyone taking the plunge.
  8. Would be keen to hear some real world experience from owners of the post 2009 N47's with regards to whether the timing chain / EGR / wastegate issues are over inflated or not.
  9. The description on the trademe mobile app differs significantly from the desktop version.
  10. Top 10 photos taken moments before disaster.
  11. Good, so we're all agreed. We should return to the gold standard.
  12. Changing of the guard? The Marc VDS Z4 GT3 being chased by the Rowe Racing SLS AMG GT3 around the Karussell during the 2015 edition of the Nurburgring 24hr race. Several slow zones around the track caught out many competitors and Marc VDS lost the race after being penalised in controversial circumstances which handed the win to Audi Team WRT, the only other car on the lead lap. Marc VDS would pull out of sports car racing entirely due to this incident. Rowe Racing would swap their Merc's for BMW's in 2016, and after being the only BMW in a Mercedes top 6 sandwich in 2016, a second in 2017 splitting a pair of Audi's, and a pair of double DNF's in 2018 and '19, which included the ignominy of both cars being out after 22 laps in 2019, they'd stand on the top step in 2020 and break BMW's 10 year drought at the green hell.
  13. The whole channel is brilliant, Starkey's S15, Phil's CSL, Jay's 1000hp Mustang...
  14. White E36 M3 3.2 coupe. Same owner has done 220xxx km in it, legend!

    I mean, it's still cheaper than SHOE was advertised for...
  16. They are amazing, just how negotiable?? Did you sell your 16" 5x120 RS'?
  17. I'm also after a set for an M5 if there's suddenly a flood of them to market.
  18. Very much so it would seem. Right buyer and right car for it to sell "inside an hour" but I know 4-5 people who would have tendered offers over the next few days, so the buyers are absolutely there for the right cars. @ctho was the M325i there when you collected? I understand that'll be a $40K minimum proposition.
