New Wellington Memeber

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Just brought the wife an e46 323i (to upgrade from her Mitsi Lancer)

It's just our 'hack' car as we've got a 2010 Mondeo company car but I like it so much I often grab her keys and taken the BMW for short trips.

Pretty sure we got it for a steal, 1998 323i (e46) 85kms, ex Diplomat car with full service history at Geff Grays BMW. Not a scratch on her. Came with 15" BMW rims which I took off within 2 days and replace with 16". So if anyone is looking for a cheap set of BMW 15"s with near new tyres give me a PM.

Havn't had a BMW in the family since our long gone 633csi 10 years ago!!!

I dont' recall the throttle being so heavy to press down.

BMW's have man throttles, it's the best way to be. Light throttles are annoying IMO.

Welcome, More pics :D

I'd be keen for a welly meet.

My 323i isn't much to talk about, just a standard tidy machine.

The 15" I put on TradeMe for $260 and were snapped up in 2 hours with BUY NOW.

The car is running on the 16" pictured. 205/55/R16, made the car 10x better to drive!! the 195/65/15's are a shocking OEM fitment for the 3 series!

I am on the hunt for some of the MSPORT 17's that run a 245 rear and 225 front. Seen a couple of sets around the $900 mark but need resraying and the $$ are drying up fast this month so will be a future purchase.

If I can't find any I'll go with the M3 replica 18's.

After that it'll be off to TSV Palmerston North to be dropped 20mm and finally sort out the tape deck with new unit. That'll be the end of the project :)
