Wow, a blast from the past reading this post. 7 years later, I've launched a NZ version of the website. Just posting this here for those who find this post in the Archives. PM me if you have trouble finding the site in Google. (don't want to be flamed by overzealous rule-fiends for advertising) FYI the lighter weight material, Inconel is now available for selected exhausts on the site (they are listed as Inconel exhausts). Eg. Porsche headers, and some Ferrari exhausts. Mike

Thanks Andrew. I've had similar advice from other e60/e61 M5 owners. Oh so tempting too, as my wife likes to drive my cars, and she doesn't drive manual transmission, to the paddles make it usable for her. Otherwise I'd get a Manual Transmission car, as the Audi slushbox is driving me nuts (even with tiptronic).

I'm looking at getting a RWD BMW M model, fairly limited $$$ so a brand new M2 or M3 is not an option. Options I'm looking at are: E60 M5 - mechancial/upkeep risk - affordable to buy, nearly even changeover cost with my current car Z4M - right on the limit of my price range - great car - limited room for luggage 1M - seems like the best middle option within my price range E9x M3 - just outside my price range Thoughts? Ideas? Mike

New Zealand customers will have the GST deducted on checkout, and may be liable for local taxes and duties upon arrival. Mike Best Exhaust www.bestexhaust.com.au

When I was looking, I spoke to a guy about an RS4, and he went on to tell me that the engine had been just replaced under warranty, and how much it costed him to service etc. 305kW did sound kinda cool, but I went for the S4 instead... It's a nice car, but not so highly strung... With exhaust and tuning, it should get up around 280-290kW which is plenty... And don't make me cry. Remus??? That's like dressing your supermodel girlfriend in a Target dress. It'll do the job, but it'll look like crap, and not make the right noises. I've put $3000 worth of Supersprint cat back with x-pipe on mine, and it's amazing. The fit was perfect! Not too loud, but like an orchestra under the bonnet when you mash the pedal... I'm now looking at a pair of front pipes and cats as well as Air Intake and ECU tuning. The M3 (the alternative) was just too expensive. I didn't see the value proposition in paying 50% more???

Please note that the discoutns for Meisterschaft and FabSpeed have ended, however the discounts for Borla and kreissieg remain active Mike Best Exhaust

Hi, I've been looking at buying a 2nd hand E46 M3, as I currently drive a heavily modified but highly reliable daily driver Nissan 200SX (Silvia) S15 Turbo. I test drove an E46 M3 SMG the other day, and I did like the car, but the SMG system seems totally alien to me. I guess its something you get used to... I was concerned that these cars are getting old, so unless they're owned by enthusiasts, then the overall condition will be potluck... I'd be interested from hearing from E46 M3 owners, preferably owners who drive their cars to their full potential and who have mechanical knowledge of their cars (ie. knows what an engine is, and what a gearbox is.) The chassis of the E46 M3 seems to be great and the grip formidable, but I was a bit worried from the burning smell coming from the factory standard car after a somewhat sedate test drive. The car had only done about 65,000km. My 200SX, by comparison, has done 175,000km, and I have no problem doing hill climb events, or motorkhanas, and revving its tits off any every opportunity. I've owned the 200SX since it was 1 year old in 2003. I look forward to hearing from you. MikeG www.bestexhaust.co.nz
