Do you recall spec and asking price? Wondering what to pitch mine at when the time comes...

Been watching these for a little while, not many manuals about, no doubt you've seen the two currently for sale? I think adaptive cruise was only on the M240i's?

Anyone know if this sold? Not on TM or their website anymore.

Looks more like a Kumara TBH

🤔

Lovely car that, the interior is stupidly clean

Not sure if mine are factory as it previously had a Remus muffler - fabricator appears to have repurposed them and welded to new muffler though?

New muffler went on today and new rear twin section added from resonators back - looks much better and tips far more OEM (dual 2.5"). Did seem a bit loud on way back from the shop but I'll give it a few weeks to bed in / get used to it - its definately a deeper and less raspy tone which is good. Sadly however, most likely car will be being sold in spring. In the process of a seperation and highly likely a more modern all-rounder type BMW (M235i?) and will be replacing it in the future.

Holy sh*t! that was insane - amazing both survived.

Really like my F31 but I would never describe it as a fun car, especially coming from something like a BRZ. What about an M135i / M235i?

My old Muffler has been rattling and getting tinnier and hollower for quite a many months now and appears to be a bust baffle in the muffler. Ordered a custom AdrenalinR muffler (great experience) and will be getting a new twin section made from the resonators back. Cant wait to get the old girl a fresh new soundtrack and replace the ridiculous 3.5” Remus square tips with something modest but purposeful 🤔

There was another '318is' I saw on FB today - UK import, flat black with clapped seats and chavvy add-ons - for the low low price of $30k

Not sure if you ended up going another way - I have their shocks (51mm) on mine (H&R sport springs though) and they are good - nothing special - maybe an OEM plus type deal. Fine for daily and occasional push but in hindsight I would have sprung for a bilstein / Koni sport - no rush to change though, totally sweet. 40mm/30mm should be very similar height to my H&R sport - not sure if an M52 is heavier than an M20? With a PFL, rear is going to look higher, but you can tweak that easily by whipping different spring pads in / out.

Haha very cool!

Came back to a parking buddy in downtown this afternoon - a Bimmersporter perhaps - pretty sure it had CSL seats that had me double taking.

We seen this guy? Looks like a bit of a case of 2021 pricing to me. Lovely looking car, except for the bloody hole cut in the bumper to stick a tow bar through.... was very happy to get my Mtech with a virgin rear bumper 🤣 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/325i/listing/5346451388

Yeah, what a motor!

Just try not to spend E30 M3 money on your E30 😂

Was a blue 964 under the cover - the other day there was a beautiful red 912 Targa and today this combo - I need to make friends with this person 🤣

Saw this guy in London last week:

Think it was just dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint - not 100% on colour, although think it was this one. https://www.repco.co.nz/car-care-panel/paint/specialty-paints/dupli-color-vinyl-fabric-paint-medium-grey-311g-hvp109/p/A6290318?kwSearch=Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint Just be careful to not get it on too thick as it will get a bit stiff.

Amazing haha

New neighbour has some toys

I've just got 80a on my CABs and sway bar bushings, which don't impact NVH as you would expect - I would keep it fresh OEM rubber everywhere else though - certainly for engine / trans / diff, although have heard subframe may be OK with Poly.

Looks great on the weaves though!
