MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I dont know man, it does have resemblence to that e36 shape but it looks 2low, driver looks like some young kid with a cap on his head. I think the e34 would look better then the e39. hmmm...I think I found the car Jamie wanted for his hun bun.... Edited January 8, 2014 by MoJoJoe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1071 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 I know you got a thing for the 5 series, i like this one honestly, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=657788253 But the rear looks so low and fat like those cars driven by, "gay black minority pimps". 's not manual though 525i is same power as a 328i, slightly less torque, though a better curve, and only about 60 kg heavier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 Yea mate......... but a 530 & a 328 are both quicker though, & go around ditches corners better...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screems out ghetto wannabe higher class. Now the car you got on that picture, there is a classic I wouldn't mind to be seen driving. thats your one isn't it? that looks fantastic!

MoJoJoe 46 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 this..... really worth 12K Offered 7K. but he wont budge http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/328i/auction-669318011.htm says 12K or nothing. but for 15k I can get an m3. reason why I want to stick to my budget.

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Looks mint but $12K still seems a lot. I'd say $9-10K would be a fair price for a mint example with low kms like that to an enthusiast. Not sure whether the market would agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Buy the M3.......... Edit - actually, after you try to get the M3 for 12k - send me the guys number, I'll buy it..........so long as it doesn't clash colours with a red car that might be coming here too........

Edit - actually, after you try to get the M3 for 12k - send me the guys number, I'll buy it..........so long as it doesn't clash colours with a red car that might be coming here too........ Damn it Blue. NO!! No M3's. Full stop. Just a Car under 7K. Preferably a 328i. If its got problems that needs looking after then fine, be it, I can put a little work on it but the price has got to come down. Why Spend 15K, just to say I have a M3. I am sure a 328i motorsports would make a very good car and handel just fine as the M3. PS: If you are serious then there is a black e36 euro M3 on trademe for 15K., a friend was supposed to go look at it this month. Another yellow m3 is going or around 20K. Like it or not we are driving 15 - 20 year old cars now and I am sure both guys would take down the price if you are serious. But For 12K I bet the interior would be pretty hard. But I would think a M3 is good condtion can be had for 15K ~ 16K if you look hard enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure whether the market would agree. I thought of making him a 8K offer but then the guy with the 330CI said he wanted around 9K. Between this 328i (e36) and 330ci(e46) if both could be had for around the same price give or take, which would you pick personally and why? I know the 330ci has some 30 more hp over the 328i but its also more heavy, and doesn't look as good as a e36(to me). Is the accelaration, drive expected to be better then the e36(I doubt it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well yes, given that a 328i is better than a 540 around corners, & faster in a straight line, then yea, a 328iMS is definitely gonna be just as good as a M3 around corners too - only difference is those funny little $4.95 badges that ya can get on reTardeMe anyway................ I wanna update my smilies?? How do I do this?? Is there an official request form or what team...........?? I'd like first dibs at the following for a start pleeeease....... - smilie throwing a big spanner......... - the eating popcorn smilie........ - bang head brick wall smilie...... - bazooka smilie (preferably in camo......) - AK47 smilie (cos bazooka smilie won't work 24/7.....gets OOS apparently) - projectile upchucky smilie...... - sledgehammer to crack a nut smilie......

Is the accelaration, drive expected to be better then the e36(I doubt it) Hard for me to say. Usually when I buy a new car I know what I want so I just wait for the right one to come along. If I had to pick between an E36 328i and an E46 330ci then my first concern would be which has been looked after best and has a service history. I prefer the shape of the 330ci but they're common as muck... In fact, if it was silver I couldn't buy it no matter how good it was unless I had the cash to paint it or wrap it... There are just too goddamn many silver E46 coupes. But a well-maintained E36 is much rarer and still a great looking car. My advice - decide what you want and wait for a decent one at the right price. Don't get suckered into buying something else. You'll regret it and sell it before the year's out.

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Who said a 328 is faster in a straight line I think 'Up North' came out with that gem coupla pages back - you counted with what the 540 0-60 time is from memory.......... Or some-one did......... Times nearly up on him buying something, he reckoned 2 weeks............ He's probably on a Merc forum too, talking bout C200's, & occasionally just to get their attention he'll be going "Bro, I'm thinking bout a 328i......."...... Or are we at the 330 now........haha!!
