SPOTTED! The official thread

Recommended Posts

Spotted this tasty looking E46 M3 this morning. Pretty sure it’s a forum member’s car, had distinctive amber tail lights as opposed to the oem clears. Car looked really good! Couldn’t find their thread to tag them though.

Given the rims, looks like a CS... Don't see many of those around these days.

Somewhat neglected looking E60 M5 in an actual colour (not blue / grey / black)...actually quite like itIMG_6326.thumb.jpeg.1732cac6a5986b408eec3e63ca2c0311.jpeg

Was in the Waikato and listed for sale for a fair while. Decatted, tuned etc as well which would make people a bit (extra) scared. It is a cool colour :)

Sounds like sh*t too, going by either the current or previous owner who a few months ago did regular laps past my house at WOT. Glad they stopped that.

The ultimate (ICE-powered) wagon? 4WD diesel quad-turbo w/ 300kw, 0-100 in 4.6 secs and < 7L / 100k.

I have the earlier tri-turbo diesel in my F15 X5 M50D and can attest that this engine is a torque monster (376hp / 740Nm). It would be even better in a lighter vehicle such as a 5 series wagon! Think I found my next car :P

When I went hunting for an F11 M550d, I found they were left hook only, and I believe this is the case with the G30 as well.

@Moupe sadly the best you can do in RHD is an Alpina D5 Touring, the 540d / 550d are LHD only and 50d engine now out of production due to emissions

Guess I'll just keep on, keeping on. Love the M50D anyway... :P

When SH5 is shut, some idiot tried the Gentle Annies instead, and ignored the road closed signs in an M850i 🤣

Grey M140i. Ok, so less exciting than some cars out there but I felt it looked really neat.

Of course!! The xDrive was coping really well (snow was getting quite a bit deeper, but no photos of that) until the man with the Ute and the radio stopped us and made us go back!! 😁

She'll be smoke-stopped, cleaned up, and advertised at a 'bargain $10k'.

Saw a 2021 420i coupe this morning.

I'll not pretend to be a fan of the front end treatment to begin with, but plonking a rego plate across the middle of the grille just finishes it off completely. 🤮

Not so much a concern for those inside. I'm sure it's a lovely thing to drive.

Red 328i coupe e36 with all the fruit and noise, in Milford. Lovely condition plus big spoiler on back, whatever the jacked up ones are called
