Gazoo racing What happened to TRD?
-
That looks awesome!! Such a wasted opportunity to make a good looking car better than the A80.. but no they came up with this:
-
Thanks for feedback. Yeah they are definitely older model tyres... just struggling to find new ones in the 235/45R17 and 265/40R17 sizes I require. But some suppliers have them in FK452 Shall keep investigating but a lot of other brands dont offer the sizes I need. Not confirmed if I can get them in the FK453 yet
-
Hi guys, Has anyone used Falken FK452 tyres before? Curious to hear experiences if you have. Cheers in advance.
-
Yeah, since 1924 made me laugh. Desperate for marketing jargon
-
You'd have to have actual brain damage to hand over your cash for such an abomination of a brand. Even before the Chinese investment these things were embarrassing. Sure the MGB GT from 50 years ago was kinda cool in relative terms but I think they have all rusted away anyhow!
-
At least Grandma will love the 2020 Honda Jazz!
-
I don't really think it's an issue... most people that buy these wouldn't even know what rwd or fwd is. For the people that value rwd that is what the M cars or top non M cars are for (Eg M3) Makes perfect sense if BMW is to make a newer generation product cheaper to compete with the global market.

That Russian guy would sort that out no problem!

It's very nice but is it $38k nice?..

Hahaha the Q&As were fairly entertaining. I guess he should just make some canned responses, will need them for the months if no years of questions he will get :p -
What a lovely example! Best of luck with the sale.
-
RTABs are so crucial for how an E36 rides. Night an day difference if they are in proper shape!
-
Very cool cars. Those wheels are terrible though, would look the part back on the stock S8 rims.
-
Whatever floats ones boat I guess haha
-
Mmmmm very nice! Seems you're rather in love with it. With the facelift front and those wheels they really look superb, much nicer than the current C63.

Why do new BMW's have tachometers that spin backwards ?
Michael. replied to oldtimer's topic in General Discussion
Car evolution has stopped and gone down the stupid path of pointless features, this is all they can do in some cases, just mess around with parts that never needed changing. -
Can't say it does it for me, but as long as you enjoy it ?
-
I love these cars but they are a project cars more than anything now, need a lot of mechanical TLC and the cosmetics are another matter, the majority of 540i E34s are as rough as your average 90s Honda Accord, mostly unloved. It would be wonderful to restore one of these, but wouldn't be a good investment unless the long term plan is keeping it. Whether or not buying an E34 M5 is more viable and restoring one of those is probably more logical, but the initial cash outlay for one of those is much greater, and of course harder to find.
-
Few things as satisfying when you feel the improvement new suspension components make!
-
I got the parents to buy an IS350, it's nice enough, good engine (can do a high 13s 1/4 mile!) but the suspension and handling is way softer than an IS-F Interior is fine, but the dash board lacks character. I think the ugliest part of them are the huuuggee wing mirrors and the stupid position they mount on the doors, don't know why they couldn't mount smaller ones on the corners where the glass ends, like all other cars, far better looking
-
Terrific car, very firm suspension and ride but that is the appeal, I think they are really nice as an overall package, great 8 speed direct drive automatic / tiptronic gearbox, very quick shifts and that motor sounds super sweet, can sound better with the single middle section of the exhaust removed. Only thing I dont really like is the interior, it's fine, but just seems a bit generic, exterior nice enough, pleasant car but I don't think the design is as good as the E92 M3 etc.

Lucky this forum gets frequented so putting up with dated aspects its probably to be expected when just about every other car forum has died due to facebook pages taking the traffic. I guess maintaining such is of less interest to those in charge for such reasons.

It's well known cars in NZ with over 200,000kms are write offs and are irreparable
