Re: 335i I loved them until I realized they don't come with a LSD need an M for that. 1M is a great car, won't say a great buy just yet until you can pick them up 2nd hand cheaper.

I'm tryin to hold off from a new car until jan next year, that would mean I can get a 11' plated with a decent ammount off? Looking at fpv or hsv at this stage if it makes any difference. But yeh a bit lost on the best way to go about buying a new car.

Edit: yes I'm wanting a v8 for a change of pace :) hopefully not too far off imports haha

Purchase outright, maybe an ex demo if it's like 7k+ cheaper than what I could get new at the best price. I guess what I'm asking is it worth me waiting till jan ? Or will it be stuff all saving compares to say early dec? Then at least I got a car for Xmas time

So Ex demo car 7K saving + 1 month earlier v New car

How much do they go for 2nd hand? Aren't ex-demo's generally thrashed? Correct me if Im wrong.

Also make sure the 'new car' price is the driveaway price, and does not have other hidden charges.

Do you have alot of time off work during the x-mas period and thats why you want it before then?

Edited by blah_blah

just what i saw, cant remember which ep of top gear, but they all chose the 370z over the m1

said it was a better car overall and the price was the last straw in the decision

yeah not to sure on exact figures

but i know 370z ain't no slug

I have no idea what video you are talking about??? The 1M bet the M3 around the topgear test track.

I think you are talking about 135i vs 370z...

edit: read through thread. S'all good.

come again?

you put a brake line clamp on the soft line near the caliper to stop air get in/oil getting out, less of the system will need rebleeding when you reattach the calipers.

<cool story bro>

Pulled up at lights, heard someone talking, look to my left. See a 60yr old guy in a new toyota camry looking at me. I said "sorry?" as I missed what he said. (im thinking he said some hoon comment about the car being too loud or something). He replies "nice car" and keeps mirin my car...

It seemed so out of character for him, caught me off guard.

Majority of times cars next to me always stop short of my window and other import drivers just look dead straight :(

Thumbs up to old guy :thumbsup:

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
