hmm dont have a leave blower sorry, but will ask my neighbour one day hahahah..

nah nah, i will go buy a chamois today!!

Dont you hate it, when you wash your car(you get all excited) and then an hour later you go for a drive and it starts raining..

OR it rains the next day!!

aaaargh frustration..

hahah actually had that problem a few months ago, when we tried to chop this HUGE ass tree down, it fell, but fell on the outside tap, which bent it and made it leak..

Took a while to fix that thing, but was so annoying at times..

I work at a carwash and the best chamois I have used so far is a Meguiars Microfibre one it works really well I think its about $18 from Supercheap and Autobarn etc.

Most leather chamois are crap they stick to the car and its impossible to use them.

I have 2...I find new ones arn't as good as ones you have been using for like 3 years...After a while the material goes really soft and works so much better...so I try to vreak one in over a year...

yeh i agree

ive got one that ive use all my life!! i used to wash mum and dads car with it when i was 5 and still do

Ive bought 2 different chamois's; 1 maguiars one, and a kenco one, none of them did windows as well as my 14yr old one.

ive never looked after it, i just hang it out to dry, apparently u are ment to not let them dry out.

I swear by my trusty ol 14yr old chamois

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
