To Sell The Line Or Not?

[Chunks]

If you want something with class then i'll trade you my 1984 Volkswagon Vanagon for it. Its orange but if you throw a mattress in the back of it, BAM! - shaggin' wagon

[Guest INASNT]

denham, can't you just not drive like a hoon and perhaps move to another part of melbourne where you don't get reamed for having an import ie MILES AWAY FROM THE SOUTH EASTERN SUBURBS

i drive it only once a week to work these days and thats in peak hour traffic on the monash freeway (the carpark)

Stuff the M3, just go the Mini Cooper S

Thought about a Merc? E55 AMG's certainly get up and boogie and no cop is goin within a country mile of it... I dunno how much they're goin for tho.

[KamikazeR33]

since we r starting to dream a bit now y dont u go an A.M?

Denham, Do it. Do it (starsky & hutch voice)

My mate has a 2002 M3 SMG II it is the business.

When I was looking at the R32 I considered E36 M3, but if you do go for one, go the 3.2 (I know it has been said before). The E36 M3 3.2 is not much changed to the E46. I used to own a hella modified E30 323i, I can put you on to some BM experts if you need mate

hmm e55 amg is way over my budget.

what are the 0-100 and 1/4 times for the e36 M3?

BMW badging can be followed literally to a certain extent.

320i - 2 ltr

325i - 2.5ltr .... etc.

328 is 2.8 and 147kw's BUT there was an update of that engine 97 or 98?? (Maybe earlier)I'm not sure. Power stayed the same, but torque was increased noticably. So if you're looking for Coupe/Convertible 328i's, try and find the update model.

Only the 330i's, 530i's, etc have the 3ltr engines, 170kw's.

It seems here that quite a lot of ppl know other ppl with E46 M3's (myself included) and we know these cars are rock solid, and popularity in endurance races show this as well. M Roadster, M Coupe, M3. I noticed that factory recall was for a 3 month span of engine production. Considering the car has been produced since beginning of 2001, 3 or 41 months and counting is hardly bad considering the level of technology in the engine.

I know the Bathurst cars are far from factory, (altho the E46 M3 was running stock exhaust, and maybe 2 other mods, ie chip/re-map, intake. Pretty much stock as a rock) but that's why i said the 323i

"that's a car with 127kw's out of the factory. Bout 1350kg as well.

Our family has had 320i, 528i, and now 530i looking towards an E46 M3 a little later - Not ONE mechanical problem at all! 10+ years of BMW's, 3 diff models, QLD trips, ski trips, etc not one engine problem. All the Straight Six family. Only problem was with the rear left electric window switch on the 528i

Trust me, you won't be disappointed with an E46 328i, or E36 M3.

cheers

just move to QLD.. you get all your points back..

[Guest INASNT]

fark only 140kw?? dont think i can live with that much power!!!

[Guest INASNT]

what u guys think of this???

BMW

worth the $$??

[meggala]

denham dont for one reason that car has really high milage you dont want to know what bmw's are like if you have to work on them if it was a merc I say fine but not a bmw.

check the car for smoke even a whisper is not good

"been there done that"

you would be better off with a low klms coupe for simialar money if they can be had dont know bmw prices now though

[Guest INASNT]

what merc can ya get for that similiar price?

[meggala]

brand new c180 compressor aroudn 56000 from the dealer in brighton he has it on the front of his shop so allow 60 but still its a brand new merc.

I found a 96/97 c200 for 20ish not long ago

Seriously once you have owned a merc you wont even look at bmws.

teh build quality is heaps better and the reliability is great

[Guest INASNT]

but the c180 is gutless

[meggala]

compressor

I would get the c200compressor personally
