Back on TM Glenn. Was on my watch list, now you have me curious.

If they do, I have a set of bottle caps in tidy condition with tyres. 5-6mm of tread from memory. Yours for $120.

11/100k for commuting and I think that's quite good. In the 7s on a trip

Bumpers are supposed to be body coloured and the drooping valance is because it's caught a kerb or car park stop thing and broken the clips. Trust me on the last bit! Some internal shots would be good.

He's certainly keeping the rims safe.

I'd have it without the M badge, a 318i badge on the back and on bottlecaps.

Thanks, it does look like an easy repair, but kids and work don't really leave me enough time to buy a soldering iron etc and burn myself. Driving to Brents sounds easier. Cheers anyway.

Parked car, everything worked, got back in, display dead, pushed auto and it came back to life, then flashed and went extremely dim. Parked again, got back in, nothing at all. Fan doesn't work, no buttons work. Stuffed? Is this my best bet? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-500805605.htm Easy to take out/refit? Cheers.

Then again, if it's one of 25 as the interweb suggests (although I note no AMG rocker covers), maybe it's worth a bit more. Or you could try this for little more. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-494788035.htm

IMHO, a ridiculous price. I think they're a great looking car, but have had two friends with them who have both had ignition (relay?) failures, at a cost of $3k each, plus delivery time for parts. The last one of these I saw on TM was about $17k. Left hook isn't great either.

Looks like a Stilo Abarth, 2.4 5 cylinder. Probably has the fiat version of selespeed which may be why it's on the side of the road.

I know of a nz new black msport kitted 328i manual with leather that sold late last year for $45-4700. They're out there. Full history on that too with about 170kms.

Well they both have 4/5 seats and an AMG badge, but otherwise, yeah.

Fixed. Thank you WD-40.

Buy the S55 AMG I have. 368kw, 700nm. 0-100 in 4.6.

How do you open the doors?

Looks nice in photos 7,8,9.

Hybrid technology. Guess its not rubbish after all.

Got one? It's a 96.

Ok, got in the car today (actually I didn't) and the door handle raised as normal, but did nothing. Window didn't drop as it should and door wouldn't open. Opens ok from inside, window drops etc? Problem? Fix? Time and cost? Cheers.

The 45% jump in power over a CL500 is fairly compelling, as is owning one of only 26 cars made. As an AMG model, I'm sure the parts availability/pricing is exciting as well.

"63" M137 6.3L V12 The "63" badging was used on the short-lived 2001 S63 AMG and 2001 CL63 AMG. These were produced in limited quantities for one month and only offered through AMG to select customers in Europe and Asia, purportedly state leaders. The CL63 AMG was the rarest W215 CL of all, and just 26 examples were built in November 2001 (51 plate), with some UK being registered in March 2002. These had a base price of £110,000 (~US$200,000).[40][41][42] These are powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3L V12 producing 444 PS (438 hp/327 kW). This engine is based on the M137 5.8L V12 used in the S600 and CL600, but the AMG variants have a larger displacement, a new management system, a new crank case and cooling system, weight-optimized pistons, and a new camshaft with greater valve lift and modified valves. 390 lb·ft (530 N·m) of torque are available between 2500-5800rpm with a peak of 457 at 4400 rpm while horsepower grows by almost 80 over the 5.8L V12. It is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The 2001 S63 AMG V12 had 100 hp more than the 2001 S55 AMG, and was a few tenths faster.[40][41]

I could be wrong, but think they are a different height to other E30s? Vaguely remember something when I changed mine. Someone will know.

I highly doubt it, an RS6 was supposed to be good for 4.5 0-100, with 450hp and turbo torque.

I had two jars, I think we gave them away, but will check.
