regretful sale of my pride and joy but now the priorities have to change to buy a house and get a cheaper car to run

Engine Mods: large hi flow T3/T4 turbo, 600x300x80 intercooler, GTR alloy radiator, GTR blow off valves(plumback, twin setup), remapped R32 ecu, turbosmart boost controller, 3 and 1/4 inch catback exhaust with cannon, 3 inch stainless cat, 3 inch frontsection and dump, removed butterflies, exedy GTR clutch, HKS filter, SAFC 2 no longer needed though

Suspension: Koni adjustables on the rear with king springs(brand new), lowered in the front as well, some steering bushes were replaced a short time ago as well

Interior: Standard but with boost gauge, pioneer head deck, two ten inch kicker subs(comp vr) with kicker amp

Wheels: 18x8 AME Mags (machine finish) 225/40/18 on front and 235/40/18 on rear

front bumper is unfinished but won't take much work to complete

i will also pass on all computer tuning equipment to remap edit the ecu with the car, using ROM Editor and Eprom 35 with PCB3.5 and UV eraser

i also have a Q45 afm (plug is already spliced in), 45mm external wastegate, walbro fuel pumpsx2 255ltr/hr, 380cc injectors, jaycar boost controller and a few odds and ends which i will pass on also at no cost

very quick car under estimated, car makes roughly 200rwkw on 15 psi (afm is maxed, as to the reason i bought the q45 afm)

Another thing it was complied with 18x8 and the exhaust on it so there's no worries there

i'm asking $11,000neg feel free to ask questions

and it has 145,xxxkms

i'm in penrith if your wondering

    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
    • Oh and I lost my headlight washer jet cover!
    • Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.         As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.      I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.    Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.            BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.
