His are a retrofit elmarco. I think you'd be able to retrofit it too, if you have a tiptronic box. Would love to drive with paddles, I'd imagine it's pretty fun.

Stopped reading after seeing a few 'oviously' 'inAPPROPATEly' spelt sentences. Can you take someone seriously when they can't even spell 'here'?

Happy Birthday Doug, enjoy

Yes apparently there's a waiting list for it. I think it looks good, and from what I've read, it drives very well with the new technology and new engine. I have to say though it doesn't seem to be very practical - ah well, what can you say, if there's a niche and BMW can make more money...

Since we're on the topic of KMs, what would you guys rather own - a car that's around the 100,000Km mark, or between 150,000 to 200,000? The seemingly obvious answer would be 'the lower the better' but sometimes I wonder. A lot of items seem to need replacing between 100,000 to 150,000Km so something closer to 200,000Km would have had them done and might necessarily be worse... Thoughts?

I agree. This render looks pleasing in the sense that it's safe - not pushing the boundaries a step futher.

Retaliatory feedback is exactly why eBay has changed their system to make sellers unable to post negatives on buyers.

Beautiful pics Foohey. It's bloody cold today in Auckland, feels like a big refrigerator outside!

Thanks for that Jeremy

Sorry typo, did mention it was a CD holder in my first post

All the things you mentioned happen on my computer too. Good points, would be nice to have them fixed/changed.

Anyone know if you can get it changed when the WOF guy enters the KMs wrongly? They seem to happen on a fairly regular basis - my current car has that problem as well.

Interesting. Re: the cd holder, I haven't seen the ones in other Porsches, I meant other (older) cars. Might be the smart Porsche engineers!

Wow it really does look very well cared for. Like new... and it's a 1998! Good luck with the sale, shouldn't be hard. PS: Did the CD storage holder come with the buttons left and right alternately like that? The ones I've seen have them all on one side but I thought this was pretty smart (I'm assuming to prevent people from accidentally pressing two at a time)

Good info!

Looks promising... See the trailer here. From Jalopnik.com:

Same as Wild Weston's car Minus the paddle shifters! I wonder what the reserve is.

The bushes are the offset type btw.

Wow... nice

I'm reserving comment until a shot of the car with less camouflage shows up. Exhausts are tidy looking yet reminiscent of Lexus. Not too worried though, I imagine it will be less of a shock than when the first of the Bangle BMWs were released.

It's an amusing picture, seen it around... though I think they can actually identify each other no problem.
