M3, but only if you are handy with your own servicing/repairs.

Be aware that the cheapest way to source parts for it will be from aftermarket dealers in Europe rather than through BMW Australia...

I don't know where you are situated but, with an M3...

1) you can source parts off the forum at "Roadfly BMW"

2) if in Sydney, you can get the car serviced, faults diagnosed and attended to at Bavarian Engineering. CEO is Massimo De Martino.

Much cheaper than a BMW dealership and still totally dedicated to BMW (rather than a mix of BM/Audi/Merc). At Caringbah.

3) if you need an engine build or to turbo an M3 safely, there's Bavariacars Motorsport. CEO is Herbert Gattermeier.

Recommended by members of BMW Drivers' Club. At Gladesville.

Yeah alrite, that isn't too bad. The thing is i'll have a 1 year warranty with the importer, so he'll fix stuff like that if it screws up during that time. Gonna try the r32 today, will see how it is!

Thanks again mate, really appreciate the help!

Yes, you do have a warranty within a year, if anything goes on you,

BUT... What happen to me was when my turbos went I was not covered (Even though I got a warranty)

I did not get my car serviced through the dealer, I did it myself and when the time came to use my warranty, the warranty company turned around and said, "We have no service history of what has been done to the car".

Warranty VOID!

So when you do get a warranty, do all your servicing through the dealer, so they can keep a track / history of the car and keep the Warranty company upto date, just to be on the safe side, until it has expired, then do everything yourself (or your mechanic).

Cool!

Let us know how you go about the R32 ;)

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
