8.5 and ET10 is possible but very aggressive and you will need to have stretched tyres, gaurd roll and lots of camber to avoid rubbing. If you're not lowered, it will probably fit but will look pretty Mexiflush. I'm on 18x8.5 ET30 with 235/40/18 and I'm very very close to rubbing front and rear and will rub on big dips at speed (and that's an empty car with 5kg / 8kg springs). Unless you're all in on these wheels, I would find something in the 35 range (stock offset is actually in the high 40's range)

Interior coming together nicely!

@zero ?

I had both my side skirts painted for $400 (including removal, assembly and new clips etc) - thought it was spendy at the time, but maybe not. This was at Scratchbuster's in Wairau.

Turbo definitely makes sense for heavier / lazier cars and autos. Less of an issue with manuals I believe as you tend to hold the gears longer.

Like just the screen? Plenty of OEM looking Android options for E39 / E46 - I'm running wireless carplay in mine.

Cert or not, I think for $8K it will be gone very quick - Tidyish, clean interior, M42, manual with some quality parts on it... Looks better than half of the slower 320i's *trying* for $10k+

Was one of these at Caffeine and Classics in AKL on Sunday (along with 500 odd other beauties) - a stunning design - simplicity is best!

Definitely a 2.5 that someone has added the badges to. Get the VIN from the plate on Carjam then punch it into an online Vin decoder: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/wbabt32020ls21514

Max Thrust angle = -0.02' ?

I have two in my Glovebox 🤣

Their machine has been broken since Covid apparently. I went to Autoalign / RaceAlign in Mt Wellington a few months back, on the advise of many here - very quick and only $80 plus GST Only comment is my front toe had a fair variance (Left 0.9mm / Right 0.3mm with brand new Tierods) but car seems pretty good?

I think that was owned by a Bimmersporter and had much higher kms - plate 321BHP or something?

A potential challenger 🤔

3.0 but very low kms? If condition matched kms I imagine a pretty decent price these days.

Nice, you could get some cloth recaros in a finish not too out of place to the stock trim? Or retrimmed recaros but that would be $$$. I feel dark green is a more classic colour a little better suited to the older school tech 1 look? Let’s be real though, Tech 1 and tech 2 are both stunning in any colour 👌

Has a more beautiful BMW been made?

I’m happy with my Hankook V12 Evo 2s for daily and spirited (not silly) street driving. Will likely get PS4s next however as they seem like the best tyre at a decent price point and available in so many sizes.

Fantastic looking car - assuming a ‘who you know’ sale? Have not seen one of these up for sale for a while.

Good luck with the smoke! Whats the wiring issue? Something swap related? What are these seats like, I remember it having some buckets? I think Dark green would look better as Tech 1.

Not so sure about the recent trend of people asking $15-17K for their 320i sedans 🤣

Happy with Classic cover, agreed value of $15k on my non-classic E46, $250 excess, lowish premium and they asked for high resolution photos of the car which is encouraging. All modifications listed and no issue. Also paid out no questions asked on a brand new Msport bumper after a minor tussle with a curb.

I presume you're aware of these guys? https://racehead.com.au/product/bmw-m20-itb-kit-e30/

Yours has to be close to $20k? Only 24v E30 I've seen in ages was the white one Ghost Chip bought but I think that was a little more of a project car?
