  1. Very valid point. The biggest shame I suppose is that many of the people who bought these new were those with families (hence the 4 door over the E46 M3) The cars were then more than likely used as a family commuter to work, beach house, weekends etc. and racked up the Ks. Stunning cars though, Breakmywindow got a good buy on his one!
  2. Very nice looking forward to seeing it
  3. Will they spend any time on the E39?
  4. I've messaged you a suggestion. Welcome to Bimmersport!
  5. Can't wait for the lip - Hopefully will get it by Xmas. Re: Leather - I know. It gets filthy; hence steering wheel being first port of call.
  6. Think Tom has a Mini Countryman unless things have changed since the last meet. That and the CSL
  7. Thanks Tom. It's a shame that it's the last of the NAs. It is a blast to drive! Don't think that rear wing is necessary for my sedate road driving Thanks for the offer though Thanks mate. Just finished blacking out the rest of the hood vents.
  8. Thanks. Here's what I did: You need: 3 Buckets 2 Microfibre Towels 1 Box LUX soap flakes Leather conditioner 1) Fill 1 bucket with warm/hot water (bearable on hands), other bucket with cold water (rinsing bucket), 3rd empty to wring used water into 2) In warm water put 3 scoops of soap flakes (mix well) 3) Use a Microfibre in the soapy water, wipe down the seats well, let it soak a bit (usually once you've done a whole seat its soaked in enough) 4) Wring the soapy dirty towel into the empty bucket, it'll have black filthy liquid 5) Cold water + micro fibre, rinse the seat down, and you can dry it with a third if you want repeat for all seats, then condition the leather as it says on the bottle of your conditioner (it doesn't take much) Credit to Central3
  9. I can see myself getting a sedan at some point or another! Or possibly an E60 M5 haha The S54 is an awesome machine. Definitely a soft spot for them haha Thanks a lot!
  10. OEM exhaust sounds great, but is a bit muffled (particularly inside the cabin) - Obviously this is subjective. I will most likely just perform the OEM mod. Yesterday I got to cleaning the leather - Not long before the rain turned on hard so I stopped. Managed an initial clean of the steering wheel though. Here is before: And here is after: It need another treatment to get the colours to pop more but it's quite a difference in person.
  11. It was a stunning machine. Absolutely incredible and thought it would be with me for a long time but at the price I got the E92 for it wasn't something I could walk away from. You have PM
  12. Hi Julian, we agreed on a sale price with another BS member today. Looks like he'll take ownership of his new car Friday! It sure is a blast to drive. After a chat with Hans, I can expect 20rwkw from exhaust work and another 20rwkw+-from the map too! I'll have to have a thorough chat with my insurer and warranty provider before doing anything like that though as the last thing I want is to void it!With the exhaust, not sure when I'll be upgrading. They're pretty expensive! PM me an offer for the exhaust, if it comes close enough to contributing what I want to do for an upgrade I may accept
  13. Saw your car then Thanks
  14. White one? Buying new sheets haha
  15. Picked up this Silverstone II E92 M3 on 20/08/13. It's an ex-UK, HP equivalent, manual.

To do list: -Euro Plate -Beltronics RX75 hardwired -OEM Exhaust mod -Black hood vents, kidney grilles, side vents -New tyres (Michelin PSS) -Brake pads (F/R) -Manual gearbox fluid -Differential fluid -Power steering fluid -F10 M5 Illuminated Shift knob retrofit -Carbon BMW Performance spoiler -Carbon wing mirror covers -Akrapovic Exhaust -Tune -Competition Pack Carbon Splitters -BMW Performance Alcantara flat bottom steering wheel -LED Interior light upgrade -LCI Tail Light Upgrade
  16. Haha yes still here! Dismal weather. Thanks very much! Where were you?
  17. Here's a couple more quick snaps:
  18. If she wasn't with me I wouldn't have taken it for a drive and therefore wouldn't have bid
  19. Cheers guys - I'll have a handful today rain or shine!
  20. Here's a couple photos of the new car, V8 sounds phenomenal! It's an ex-UK HP model equivalent, 3 pedals, Picked her up this morning!

    Fork that!

    Read title. Closed page. Felt sick.
  22. Hehe after seeing your most recent post in the M5 Wanted I was wondering if you'd see this. I've PMed you.
  23. Thanks - I was frankly shocked at the condition (in a good way) when I saw it. As it was $1Res I was expecting a bomb site.. Heh.
  24. Yep, that's the one. She drives really nice, great sound. I wasn't initially going to bother because thought it would go out of my price range but my girlfriend convinced me to go out and have a look/drive. Glad she did! Also picked up a warranty with it for 3 years which is just added peace of mind. But you got balls bidding to $45K on a car you hadn't seen!
