Cool car!

Just hit it with a hammer.

This car will be greatly missed. jk

hard a-starboard!

I'd put those on a lathe and clean them up with some scoring pads / sand paper then given them a new paint job. Too far gone for a clean by the looks.

If only we could stick the E89 front on the E85 3.2 coupe.

haha, noo not mine, Soarer associates car, James. Those are my old headlights though Sold them to him.

Best sounding lawn mower, ever.

These are really tricky problems sometimes Could be bad following parts Torque converter Driveshafter center support or bearing Driveshaft universal joints / flexible discs or guibos Differential bearings, axles. Engine/trans mounts failed. The stalling issue or nearly stalling suggest the torque converter.

Perfection!

Totally agree Richard. E46 is prob my favorite. No too modern, not too old.

Hehehe

Found that my silly car will do 0-100kph 1 second quicker if I turn off the active suspension so its not working while driving... haaaa

Really depends what has been done. These cars do need restorative maintenance now, and some of it is not cheap. Around 20k seems to be at the lower end for an ok one, teens for the rough ones, most I've seen are in the 25-30k ish range, particularly if in decent condition, spec, history etc.

Yep wolf mufflers are a weird bunch, heard lots of bad feedback. Would never go there!

Depends on: Model Age Environmental exposure, Mileage Generally I find BMW Electrics rather good, newer stuff tends to have module failures so that is a debatable issue. Older stuff (pre 2000) is typically the most logical and simplistic type, using separate wires for each function linked to relays and sensors. It's easier to modify and change around IMO. Newer stuff, early 2000s on, went to a CAN bus (or similar) system that uses single wires between modules to communicate, basically like a Ethernet system within your car. If you have the means to use BMW diagnostic software it's pretty awesome at solving problems and getting live telemetry from the cars sensors so you could argue it's better than the older pre OBD2 CAN systems. However the complexity does go up with that. I personally like the older style as it's all fairly straight forward, if maintained properly, would last for decades. E30 / E34 era etc.

It's only good looking because it's the face-lift version with the front and rear ends fixed.

Welcome. Liking that convertible.

That's hilarious. I want it.

A lot of people would having trouble naming the brand of my Soarer if you removed the Toyota badge off the back

They look much better than the last 7 series for sure. I think it's mandatory they are really fast, because that sells!

I like those wheels now. Damn cool pic!

Very noice. When does the HellBM collection museum open??

Yeah, needs to be manual 100%
